What watch would De Gaulle wear?

Courtesy of LIP


Well, in this instance I can answer pretty forthrightly that it was a LIP. 

Every time I see this watch I am reminded of the film - 
Day of the Jackal, and can picture all of those great old Citroens, 
and imagine a beautiful day in Paris.

This is a modern reinterpretation of the LIP watch of that era. At that time, 

electronic watches were all the rage, but as this is a modern version, 
a reliable quartz movement keep it moving forward.

I had the good fortune of meeting with the LIP folks at their booth at 

BaselWorld and suspect that it won't be long before the next French 
legend is wearing a LIP watch.
