LIP Watch - T18 Churchill - Off-Center Second Hand - Blue Leather
The LIP T18 Collection of watches is the result of a captivating history that dates back to the 1930s. It all began in 1935, when the French watch brand LIP proudly unveiled the original Type 18 (T18) model. From the very beginning, this watch sparked unprecedented enthusiasm thanks to its innovative design and advanced watchmaking technology.
One of the most distinctive features of the T18 model was its movement, which featured an off-center “small seconds” hand—a remarkable watchmaking innovation for its time. This feature allowed the seconds to be displayed in a separate sub-dial.
After the war, LIP returned to its historic home in Besançon and rebuilt its factory. Production of the T18 model resumed with even greater enthusiasm and success.
