Lip Genève is to Lip what Grand Seiko is to Seiko: the top of the range of the Besançon brand! In the 60s, Lip was one of the most powerful brands in the world, collaborating with major manufacturers such as Breitling. The brand had everything to please, with affordable ranges, reliable movements and an aesthetic that appealed to the widest possible audience. However, in a desire to move upmarket, Lip opened offices in Geneva to produce higher-quality watches, and offered a number of timepieces made in these workshops.
