A gents early 1960s Lip Dauphine wrist watch
A gents early 1960s Lip Dauphine wrist watch.
In 1867, Emmanuel Lipman and his sons founded a clockwork workshop under the name of Comptoir Lipmann. In 1893 it became the Société Anonymed'Horlogerie Lipmann Frères which translates as the Lipmann Brothers Clock Factory.
The firm launched the Lip stopwatch in 1896. Thereafter Lip became the brand name of the company. They built approximately 2,500 pieces a year. The company launched their first electronic watch in 1952, called "Electronic". The first models were worn by Charles de Gaulle and the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In the 1960s, this highly specialized company began to have financial troubles. Fred Lipmann listed the company on the stock market Ebauches S.A. (subsidiary of ASUAG, a large Swiss consortium which later became Swatch) took 33% of the shares.
This particular watch has a hand-winding movement, a Jeambrun 23D which would have been bought in by Lip, which is working nicely.
The watch measures 33.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is plated with a stainless steel case back and it is in lovely condition.
The lens is also in lovely condition.
The signed dial is in good original condition with just a little marking to the hands.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
Please contact us for international shipping prices.
The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
