WHEN
THE INFAMOUS limited-edition Lip Mach 2000 Chronographs that Roger
Tallon designed for the French company Lip debuted in 1973, it was an
instant hit and became one of the company's most popular timepieces
ever. So it's entirely fitting that this year, as Lip launches in the
United States for the first time in the brand's 142 year history, the
iconic Mach 2000 is returning to the lineup -- and the master isn't
missing a tick. Thirty-five years after the Lip DarkMaster watch was
first introduced, the futuristic, forward-thinking watch looks anything
but vintage. In fact, it looks as if it could have been designed just
yesterday. And that's exactly what Tallon (the creative mastermind
behind the high-speed French TGV trains) intended for it when back in
the 1970s, they enlisted him as well as various other prominent
designers, architects, and interior decorators to work for them. Their
job? To collaborate on several cutting-edge, distinctive Lip Watch
collections that would set Lip Watches apart from its competition. Not
only did they succeed, their signature watches became cult favorites
and revolutionized the watch company.
Fast-forward three
decades. Under the watchful eye of Lip's new design director Prisca
Briquet, these 1970s groundbreaking vintage pieces (including those in
Tallon's Mach 2000 series and Revival Seventies collection) are now
being reissued, along with several other classic styles that have
received updates.
A culmination of 40 years of design expertise and the perfect blend of
past and present, the Lip Baschmakoff Jump Hours are actually ahead of
its time, both then and now.
