LIP Watch: MACH 2000 Mini Square Gold 671177

Lip: the Mach 2000 Mini Square 671177, a gold jewelry watch by Roger Tallon

The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square Gold 671177 takes the atypical design of the Mach 2000 collection and reimagines it in an entirely gold-toned version. Its gold dial with a pressed pattern, polished square case, and matching Milanese bracelet give it the look of a true jewelry watch. Manufactured in France in Besançon, the Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square retains the graphic language imagined by Roger Tallon while adopting a more precious presentation than the versions on colored leather.

The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square has a square case with asymmetric lines measuring 30 × 28 mm. The 14 mm lug width and the weight of 50 grams allow the Mach 2000 Mini Square to maintain compact proportions suitable for slim wrists.

The gold dial with a pressed pattern is one of the distinctive features of the Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square. The black square indices create a sharp contrast, while the black hour hand stands out from the gold-toned minute and second hands. This black and gold combination reinforces the graphic legibility of the Mach 2000 Mini Square while remaining faithful to the collection's aesthetic approach.

The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square is protected by a flat mineral crystal and features a snap-on stainless steel case back. Its crown is a push-pull type. Its 3 ATM water resistance, equivalent to 30 meters, protects it against daily splashes, but it is not intended for swimming or immersion. The Mach 2000 Mini Square remains, above all, a city watch and a jewelry watch.

The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square is powered by the Swiss Ronda 763 quartz caliber. This five-jewel movement displays the hours, minutes, and seconds with a precision announced by Lip of between -10 and +20 seconds per month. Powered by a 364 / SR621SW battery, the Mach 2000 Mini Square's caliber benefits from a standard battery life of 40 months according to official Ronda documentation.

The bracelet of the Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square is made of gold-toned Milanese mesh and can be adjusted to the size of the wrist. Lip specifies that it can be replaced manually without tools, allowing the watch's appearance to be easily changed. With its uniform gold finish and compact format, the gold Mach 2000 Mini Square offers a particularly elegant interpretation of Roger Tallon's design.

About the Lip brand

A historic house of French watchmaking, Lip is closely linked to Besançon and the history of French industrial design. After the social events of 1973, the brand called on several designers outside the watchmaking world to renew its collections. Roger Tallon played a central role during this creative period and developed the Mach 2000 universe for Lip.

Presented in the 1975 collection, the Mach 2000 broke with conventional watch shapes through its asymmetric architecture and functional approach to design. Roger Tallon subsequently applied this aesthetic language to several models, including the Mini Square versions intended for slimmer wrists. The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square 671177 today perpetuates this identity in a gold-toned version with a Milanese bracelet, manufactured in Besançon.
