Watch Sale
The
nearly 150 year old French watch brand LIP is reintroducing some of
their most important wristwatches - a series from the early 1970s that
remains as visionary today as when first unveiled almost four decades
ago. These timepieces were created from a melting pot of Pan European
industrial, architectural, interior and graphic designers, all given
carte blanche by LIP to create some of the most original watches ever
produced.
Of the seven original designers between 1969 and 1976, Roger Tallon has
made the most lasting impact. A true renaissance man of the
mid-century. Tallon's contributions to the Modern era include the
Teleavia, the earliest portable television, the world's first Helicoid
staircase (part of the Museum of Modern Art collection), and the ultra
modern French high speed TGV trains. His asymmetric Mach 2000 series has
since become an icon for LIP with their unmistakable primary colored
spherical pushers and crowns.
The legacy of LIP evolves today in the hands of talented new designers
like Prisca Briquet who are writing the next chapter of watch design in
horological history.
For the first time ever, LIP watches are available in the United States
and distributed by Watchismo - offered nationwide at Barneys New York
locations and online at Watchismo.com.
