FOR SALE IS A FUNKY AND FUN TO WEAR EARLY 2000s FRENCH Lip DIRECT READ JUMP HOUR WATCH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION
-
CASE: HEAVY DUTY ALL STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION MEASURING 35mm ACROSS. THIS THING WEARS REALLY NICE...MORE LIKE A 38mm+ PIECE DUE TO THE SQUARE/CUBE SHAPE AND THAT WIDE STRAP THAT TAPERS FROM 35mm MAKING THIS WEAR LIKE A CUFF. I LOVE THE INTEGRATED STRAP LOOK WHICH GIVES THIS A VERY MODERN BUT RETRO VIBE.
-
DIAL: 70s FUNK REIMAGINED BY THE FRENCH WATCHMAKER IN THE EARLY 2000s. REALLY GREAT QUALITY ON THIS FACE WITH WITH 3 GLOSSY ROTATING DISCS DISPLAYING THE HOUR/MINUTE/SECONDS. THE WAY IN WHICH THE DISCS ARE SUNKEN DEEP INTO THE FACE GIVE A NICE SENSE OF DEPTH. THE JUMP HOUR DIGITAL READ MAY BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAYS TO TELL TIME.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS Lip RUNS ON A QUARTZ MOVEMENT AND JUST HAD A FRESH BATTERY INSTALLED. WATCH IS RUNNING AMAZINGLY AND IS KEEPING SPOT-ON TIME.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL CUIR VERITABLE THICK HIGHLY TAPERED LIP SIGNED STRAP WHICH IS OF SUPER HIGH QUALITY AND HAS VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF WEAR. I DON'T NORMALLY PUT WATCHES FROM THE 2000s ON MY SITE, BUT I RAN ACROSS THIS ONE WHICH HAS A LOT OF COOL 70s CHOPS FROM A STORIED WATCH BRAND KNOWN FOR MAKING UBER-MOD DESIGNS. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS BASED ON A VINTAGE MODEL, BUT IT DEFINITELY FITS IN WITH THE ROGER TALLON AND RUDI MEYER DESIGNED PIECES THAT MADE THE BRAND FAMOUS IN THE EARLY TO MID 70s. THIS IS A FUN AND AFFORDABLE PIECE TO ADD TO ANY COLLECTION.
