Hi everyone ! My grandfather passed away from few years now and I was looking on this stuff and he has a lot a watches. I’ve found this one and as a watch noob and can’t recognise the brand. Can someone help me ??? Thx
I was going to say it was a Lip but i was beaten to the punch i’m not sure about the model.
Lip, they’re French I believe
I thought it was Harry Potter for a second!
Nice looking watch, can’t help ya on the brand though but it seems like some others in here have. My condolences for the loss of your grandfather.
You should post a pic here of his collection, I always love seeing the older generations taste in watches and what their collections look like. My grandfather left me a few watches and he had a Seiko for everyday use and some really nice pieces for special occasions. If you do end up making a post of his collection please comment here and let me know, I’d love to see it!
Hope you’re well and have a wonderful day.
A Hewlett Packard watch! Rare find!
This is a Lip watch. French brand. In business for a long time.
Hewlett-Packard
I dont know that Hewlett & Packard have this model 😂
Lip
It’s a Lip, my parents received one of those with their magazine subscription in France! Ended up selling it a couple of months ago :)
That’s exactly the same, how much did you sell it for??
It’s the company I work for that made this watch . They have a repair department I work in , and spare parts . If you want to send it in for repairs ?
No thanks, for the moment I will just keep it for me, I found it very nice. I’m just looking for the name of the model…
When did Hewlett-Packard get into the watch game?
That’s the first thing I thought as well.
I see it too! Def thought it was the HP logo.
As an IT guy this was my first thought too lol. It’s also a very cool logo that they don’t use as much as they should IMO.
It’s cool looking, I like it. Your grandfather had nice taste!
Yes, I found it very nice I have to keep looking in his collection !
This is from the biggest French watch manufacturer until it’s big downfall in the 70’s, LIP. You should definitely look at lip history, it’s sooo interesting.
And if you are more interested in this brand, you should definitely visit the time museum in Besançon
Time museum in Besançon is awesome, I second this OP and yeah, Lip had such great designs, very ‘avant-garde’, it’s worth checking it out!
Besançon
Yeah, I used to kick the hell out of that town in Civilization III.
As someone else commented, Lip was a big manufacturer that ended up going bust in the 70s or so. The brand was bought and produced terrible watches for a little while, and has since started producing new models that are great quality and really reasonably priced (I have 3), kind of “microbrand” type. Cool piece !
