This Lip Genève is a perfect twin of the Toptime 2009. Same 20 microns gold plated case with "florentine" finish , same Venus 188 here called RCH830 , same hands, similar design for the silver dial with black subdials ... Its Breitling sister would come back soon from my watchmaker for a family pic.

I imagine an agreement btw Breitling and Lip driving to mutualise the design , use common sources for case, hands, dials ... We know that Breitling was assembling Venus 188/ Valjoux 7730 in house , and that Lip was probably doing the same in the Besançon factory...We know too that Lip was assembling Breitling models for french market in order to avoid custom taxes on swiss imports .
