LIP Churchill

Winston Churchill served as British Prime Minister and became legendary for his decisive role in shaping the future of the free world between 1940 and 1945, during World War II. His pivotal contribution to the conflict and his quintessentially British elegance made W. Churchill one of the most recognizable political figures of the 20th century.
Production of the T18 model in the LIP Churchill watch collection began in 1935 and continued through the late 1950s. This timepiece is undoubtedly the brand's most iconic model. The T18 was renowned for its exceptional precision - thanks to highly advanced watchmaking techniques - and was equipped with one of the first movements featuring a dedicated small seconds subdial. This was revolutionary for its time, as convention dictated that the seconds hand be placed on the central axis.

Wondering why the collection featuring the T18 - available in a large format (T24) and a small format (T13 Baguette) - is named Churchill? In 1948, a T18 was presented to Sir Winston Churchill by the French government as a token of gratitude for Great Britain's services to France during World War II.

What a fitting tribute - naming a "Made In France" watch collection after a British Prime Minister, ensuring that the passage of time on this timepiece never erodes the memory of this great man.
