For people of my generation Lip was the equivalent of Omega, Tissot, Breitling etc. This Lip Electronic represents an innovation and the pronounced taste of this brand to be precursors in the field of watchmaking. My model has a rather rare dial because the 4 indexes are represented by a lightning bolt. The quality of Lip proves that after more than 60 years this watch still works very well.

A great story…at a low price

This is a purchase that responds to an era that I knew and to the cinema of one of my favorite directors. This elegant, ultra-thin watch is a dress watch with a touch of originality. It allows me to engage in discussion with those who notice it, on its atypical side and on its cinematographic reference. I rather like the classic but sometimes fun offers me an eccentricity that I appreciate. This watch is also very pleasant on the wrist.

Reference to the punk movement

This is a watch that I never get tired of, precise, waterproof to 100 meters, suit or t-shirt, elegant or sporty, the bracelet will give it the identity you want. The dial reflects the light perfectly and you can go from the office to the swimming pool without taking it off. A watch that I rediscover regularly with always the same pleasure

It lives up to its name

I had wanted a Tudor for a few years and Monfils fils went to the antipodes on the day of the presentation of the BB58 GMT…for an enthusiast like me the excuse was too good 😂. Everything works with this watch, thinner than the old one, a perfect diameter for me and a recognized quality.

The world is vast

This watch represents the alpha and the omega, when I wear it it represents my first mechanical watch in 1973 a Longines, its color the first car of my father that he had in 1964 a Triumph Herald, the wooden dragon of the back of the case represents my Chinese sign….60 years ago and the 888 copies remind me that my son was born on December 8….what watch could compete with so many symbols that touch me….

60 years of waiting

The feeling of a sunset on your wrist, a price that allows you not to think too much, a very useful complication and a robustness that relaxes you... I like it when my life is simplified!!! The diameter of 42 is not felt at all and the jubilee bracelet is really very comfortable and of good quality considering the price (389€)

Voyager

The first time I discovered this watch was in 1971, my uncle, a watchmaker at Patek, wore it when he wasn't at work and it was his morning alarm clock. For me, Vulcan was Star Trek and space, what could be more normal for a child who saw the first step on the moon live………..

<p dir="ltr">The brand <strong>Tudor</strong>, founded in <strong>1926</strong>, is the fruit of the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, also founder of Rolex. His ambition was to create a watch that would offer the reliability and quality of Rolex, but at a more affordable price. So, from the start, Tudor positions itself as a manufacturer of quality watches at more accessible prices than those of the Rolex brand. This extremely clear DNA allows Tudor to position itself on innovation illustrated by its brand signature: &ldquo;<strong>Born To Dare</strong>&rdquo;.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Tudor brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">From the 1950s, Tudor began to forge its own identity, although still associated with Rolex. In 1954, the brand launched the Oyster Prince Submariner model, affirming its position in diving watches. This watch featured exceptional water resistance, making it particularly popular with professional divers and water sports enthusiasts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 1960s and 1970s were marked by the development of partnerships with professional organizations. <strong>Tudor watches have been chosen by the French Navy and the US Navy</strong>, attesting to their robustness and reliability. The launch of the Tudor Prince Oysterdate Chronograph model, more commonly known as the "Big Block", in the 1970s is another important milestone for the brand. It was the first automatic chronograph with a date, a technological feat for its time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since it was taken over by Rolex in 1936, Tudor focused until the 1970s on professional models from the Rolex professional collection. The 80s allowed the brand to begin to free itself from it without offering models that would mark history.</p>
