Other: Looking for a fun and unique vintage watch? It would be hard to beat this wild LIP Mach 2000 Chronograph. We've never seen anything else quite like it before... French industrial designer Roger Tallon designed this watch for LIP to be released in 1974. It features a lightweight black aluminum case and multi-colored wooden winding crown and chronograph pushers. Montres LIP re-issued a modern version of this iconic Mach 2000, but they used a stainless steel case and cheap Quartz movement. I think we can agree this original manual-wind is much cooler! Examples in collector-grade condition are scarce...
