LIP General De Gaulle Classique 35 mm

After his trip to the United States, Fred Lip returned to Europe convinced of the future of the electric watch. The prototype of the world’s first electric wristwatch was presented in 1952 to the Académie des Sciences in Paris. This innovation represented ‘a masterpiece of chronometry and quality’. The watch equipped with the revolutionary R27 movement was marketed in 1958. Fred Lip was proud to offer this watch to General de Gaulle and then to General Eisenhower.  This emblematic Général de Gaulle watch, with its polished gold-plated 35 mm case, has become more and more popular over the years. A revisited vintage model, with a white sunray dial and a light silver finish, it features 3-hand and date functions – the strength of minimalism. It is simply seductive, mounted on an attractive crocodile-style brown cowhide leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching and a gold pin buckle.
