Why The Mach 2000 Matters

I am constantly surprised by what is remembered as iconic. And with rumors running high that Lip might be returning to the North American market, I am ready to embrace the future while reveling in the past. And the best part about the Mach 2000? It is here, now!

The Mach 2000 is the very first watch that many watch fans identify Lip with. Needless to say, Lip has a deeeeeeeep catalog, but with that said, for €449.00 it is an affordable piece of Lip, and dare I say it, French watch making iconography.

Lip, and French watch making writ large were at the forefront of innovation in watch making. They embraced quartz well in advance of the rest of Switzerland. And in fairness, as several people have stated - if quartz was a technology available to Abraham-Louis Breguet, he probably would have embraced it.

So for those of you ready to reach out and grab a piece of watch making, and design history, you can grab it direct from Lip!
