Lip Képi - 3.000€

The Lip Képi is a distinctive and unconventional timepiece from the historic French watchmaker Lip, known for its daring design language and innovative spirit. Introduced in the 1950s, the Képi stands out for its bold asymmetrical case and modernist aesthetic, making it not just a watch, but a true design object.

The name "Képi" refers to the traditional French military cap, and the watch subtly echoes this reference through its unique case shape. The design breaks away from classic norms, featuring an off-center layout and a crown positioned unusually at 4 o’clock, contributing to its avant-garde character. This approach was emblematic of Lip’s philosophy during the period: to challenge conventions, make design accessible, and infuse personality into everyday objects.

This particular model is made of 18ct yellow gold and features a cream dial.
