Echoing the signature LIP design of the 1970s, the geometry of the circle within a square and the rectangular links of the bracelet ensure that the LIP Mythic Titanium model remains true to the brand’s design heritage. As a legacy of the work of the seven designers from the 1974 collection, this piece represents both a synthesis and a continuation of their work. This timepiece, which blends Roger Tallon’s work on the Big TV with that of Prince François De Baschmakoff on the model that bears his name, was designed by Prisca Briquet in 2009.
This timepiece offers a completely unconventional way of telling time, as it is displayed on three rotating dials. The large dial shows the hours, the medium-sized one the minutes, and the smallest one the seconds. The time can be read instantly along the line that extends from the LIP logo.
The hours move while the hand remains stationary—unlike on all other watches. Although it may seem disorienting at first glance, this innovative time display actually makes reading the time easier, as it provides an instant view of the hours, minutes, and seconds along a single hand.
The numbers are printed for "French-style" time-telling, with a minute dial showing -25, -20, or a quarter less than the half-hour mark after the half-hour has passed.
LIP incorporates this innovative time display into a new titanium case-and-bracelet assembly, offering exceptional lightness and comfort. Powered by an automatic movement, the Mythic Titane features a smooth and steady time display that provides a unique pleasure to wear. The latest stylistic innovation is the LIP logo, which serves as the central hand.
