A Victory For Watch Collectors.

Now you can own one of the most popular French watches in history…The LIP T-18.

In 1948, General Charles DeGaulle presented Sir Winston Churchill with a special gift in recognition for services rendered by Great Britain to France during World War II… the LIP T-18 .

The T-18 is without a doubt one of the most famous and sought after French watches by discerning amateurs and collectors. Why? Because they know that the French region of Besancon, near the Swiss border, has been closely tied to Swiss watch making since the 1800.s and is considered the hub of the French watch making industry.

The tradition of honoring world leaders started in 1810 when founder Emmanuel Lippman presented Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte with a special, hand crafted LIP Gusset pocket watch. Since then, world leaders have been presented with exclusive LIP timepieces as recognition for their valued leadership.

Faithful To The Original
Chances are, if your father or grand father is French, someone in the family probably owned a T-18. Only a handful of these priceless timepieces are known to exist in private collections today. But now, you can have your own piece of history with the Limited Edition reissue of the classic T-18 by LIP. Designed by Andre Donat, the T-18 was the first watch to feature a smaller dial showing the seconds and was so popular, students had to produce one by hand to graduate from France's most prestigious watch making school. Today, we have painstakingly recreated the T-18 and use modern watch technology to deliver a version faithful to the original, yet even more accurate with Swiss quartz movement and fine craftsmanship.
