LIP Churchill T18: the historic French rectangular watch

The LIP Churchill T18 671441 embodies the timeless elegance of French watchmaking. A faithful reissue of the 1930s T18 model, this watch pays tribute to the prestigious history of LIP. Its rectangular 316L gold-plated stainless steel case, polished and brushed, measures 38.5 mm in length by 21.2 mm in width, offering a refined, unisex silhouette.

The silver-colored dial, vertically and horizontally brushed, is adorned with black Arabic numerals and gold-toned Dauphine-style hands. A small off-center seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock adds a touch of extra sophistication. The smooth white cowhide leather strap, with a glossy finish, closes with a gold-toned pin buckle, completing the classic aesthetic of the LIP Churchill T18.

History of the Churchill collection

Produced starting in 1935, the LIP T18 is one of the brand's most iconic watches. Appreciated for its precision, it was equipped with one of the first calibers with an off-center small seconds hand. In 1948, a LIP T18 was gifted to Sir Winston Churchill by the French government in gratitude for the services rendered by Great Britain to France during the Second World War. The LIP Churchill T18 perpetuates this legacy, combining Art Deco design with French watchmaking craftsmanship.
