LIP Mach 2000 French Made – Unisex Vintage Quartz Watch – Ref. 81808 with Original Stand/Box Brand: LIP Model: Mach 2000 Reference Number: 81808 (marked on case back) Origin: Made in France Gender: Unisex Movement: Quartz (Battery replaced, running) Case Material: Stainless steel / Special alloy Strap Material: Original stainless steel bracelet Water Resistance: 30 meters / 3 ATM (not tested for vintage waterproofness) Description Up for auction is a striking, authentic LIP Mach 2000 unisex wristwatch, proudly designed and made in France. Created by the famous industrial designer Roger Tallon, this iconic timepiece is a true masterpiece of 1970s avant-garde design, celebrated for its asymmetrical case shape and signature blue ball crown. This model is increasingly hard to find on the European market and is quite rare and difficult to source in Japan. It features a sleek grey dial with contrasting black chapter ring, bold numeric markers, a date indicator at the 6 o'clock position, and vibrant blue and white hands. The watch comes complete with its original stainless steel bracelet and includes its original unique LIP Mach 2000 display stand/case, making it an absolute must-have for collectors of modern design and vintage horology. Condition Report Case: Good vintage condition. Shows minor, light hairline scratches consistent with careful occasional wear, but retains its original factory finishes and sharp lines. Crown: The iconic blue ball crown is intact and functions correctly, showing only very minor superficial wear. Dial & Crystal: The dial is clean and well-preserved. The crystal is in good condition with minor signs of light wear. Movement: Fitted with a reliable quartz movement. A new battery has recently been installed, and the watch is currently running perfectly and keeping time. The date function operates smoothly. Strap: Original stainless steel bracelet with original signed clasp. Shows minor hairline scuffs on the clasp from normal handling. Accessories: Includes the original specialized LIP Mach 2000 display stand / presentation case. Specifications A fantastic opportunity to own a museum-worthy piece of French design history that looks stunning on the wrist and stands out in any collection!
