Description
LIP Type 14 On-Board Chronograph No. 35560 Circa 1940 On-board watch designed for the Air Force. Round case, notched bezel, numbered and signed. Black dial, Arabic numerals, sub-dial at 6 o’clock, signed. Mechanical movement (requires servicing) Diameter 63 mm Provenance: Original owner. Designed by LIP in Besançon from the late 1920s onwards, the Type 14 was fitted in the cockpits of fighter aircraft such as the Morane-Saulnier MS.406 and the Dewoitine D.520. Enabling pilots to calculate their flight time using an internal hour marker adjustable via the bezel, this watch was mounted directly onto the instrument panel. The time is set and the movement wound using the notched bezel. Bibliography: Marie-Pia Auschitzky Coustans, *Lip, des heures à conter*, 2000, Libris, a similar example reproduced on p. 174.
