LIP introduces the Mach 2000 as a contemporary clock

In 1975, Roger Tallon’s daring Mach 2000 chronograph became a design landmark, blending bold geometry with playful contrasts. Fifty years later, Lip pays tribute to this icon with a contemporary clock that retains the avant-garde spirit of the original while transforming it into a striking interior piece. More than a timekeeper, it is a design statement – a seamless fusion of heritage, modernity, and artistry.

n 1974, the Lip brand took a decisive turn by entrusting the creation of its watches to seven designers from fields outside watchmaking. The goal was to bring a fresh vision to its collections, in a context shaped by the social upheavals of 1973.

This initiative led to the creation, in 1975, of an avant-garde collection that left a lasting mark on the history of watch design. Among these pieces, one creation stands out as a true symbol:

The Mach 2000 chronograph, designed by Roger Tallon, a key figure in French industrial design.

In 2025, Lip celebrates the legacy of this iconic piece with the launch of a clock inspired by the famous Mach 2000 case. Retaining the bold visual codes of the original model – strong geometric shapes, color contrasts, and a functional spirit – this new creation goes beyond its basic function to assert itself as a true work of art, whether hung on the wall or placed on a surface.

Designed to enhance any interior, this clock embodies the perfect balance between heritage and modernity. It elegantly affirms Lip’s mission: to create pieces where time becomes an artistic gesture, a strong and timeless signature.
