Summary

From its commercial launch, this low-construction movement demonstrated exceptional accuracy, introduced by two sons of Emmanuel Lipmann and Camille Lipman who brought fresh dynamism to the watchmaking tradition. In the world of watchmaking, Lipmann's workshop was the first major manufacturer of Swiss pocket watch models. The buildings on Rue des Chalets symbolized their master artisan skills. Fruit of their secret Lip laboratory, which produced a Swiss model, the watch was presented in Paris and then in Chicago, marking it as the first prototype. Fred LIP, inspired by the iconic Renault car, created LIP DAUPHINE, a budget-friendly timepiece incorporating high quality LIP.
