THE HOUSE OF LIP
HistoRY
THE LIP SAGA
A truly legendary French brand, the LIP story began in 1867 when Emmanuel Lipmann founded a small watchmaking workshop in Besançon. Driven by its visionary owners, the family business quickly wrote some of the finest pages in the history of watchmaking technology, producing timepieces with sophisticated and often avant-garde designs. For more than 150 years, thanks to its unique vision of the profession, and unlike most of its competitors, it has made precise, elegant instruments that were usually reserved for wealthy people, accessible to the widest possible audience.
THE TEAM
OUR EXPERTISE
At LIP, watchmaking expertise is embodied in a global approach. It is expressed through the talent of the men and women who design, develop and manufacture its watches. It takes shape thanks to the talent of designers who magnify volumes by using the most beautiful materials. It is also the sum of experience acquired over several decades of history. This expertise creates a symbiosis between tradition and modernity, combining the finest materials with quartz calibers or self-winding mechanical movements chosen for their precision and reliability. In the end, each Lip watch, with its rich history and the care taken by the craftsmen in creating it, is the most faithful expression of yourself.
