LIP GENERAL DE GAULLE 35 MM

$392,00 ($326,67 excl. EU VAT)

The history of the French watchmaker LIP starts in Besançon, in 1867, where its founder Emmanuel Lipmann launches a watchmaking workshop. Soon, his son Ernest upsets the discipline by creating the first phosphorescent dial, allowing a reading of the time even in the darkest recesses…
A few decades later, LIP watches will be worn by legends of the 20th Century, such as General de Gaulle, Bill Clinton and Sir Winston Churchill.

The LIP General De Gaule 35 mm watch, also known by its code name 671038, is a true historical piece of the French brand. The first version of this model was offered to the General De Gaulle as a thank you for his services during the WW2. Later, the President of the United States of America, the General Eisenhower, received the watch as well.

LIP GDG 35 MM 671038
Presentation

The size of this historical model is above all a real surprise for the Conteenium’s team. At a time when the current trend sets a diameter 35 mm, the LIP company has chosen a return to a more modest size, flirting with the vintage style, perfectly suited male cuffs of small sizes …

Design

The first peculiarity of the LIP GDG is undoubtedly its reinforced glass, giving the case a convex front face. The back of the watch has the same characteristic, but it’s a classic mineral glass that has been chosen. Transparent, it offers a good visibility to the movement.

Once worn, the tonneau case embraces the wrist with great ease, allowing the watch to slide easily under a slim-fitting shirt or a tight-fitting sweater at the forearm.

The brown leather bracelet is timeless. You will probably appreciate the high-end butterfly buckle, allowing a quick wrist setting of the timepiece.

Famous movement

Under the hood, there is a movement Miyota 8215, oscillating at 21600 beats per hour. Miyota is a factory owned by the Japanese Citizen, which distributes these qualitative and accessible movements to prestigious watch brands …

The caliber 8215 has a complication located at 3 o’clock, offering the bearer of the timepiece a date window.

We also appreciate the great waterproof case – for a classic watch – of 100 meters. So you can wash your hands or shower, without removing your beautiful automatic timepiece…

To offer, or to afford, the LIP GDG 35 MM 671038 is a real must have in your collection of quality clocks!
