SAM was a historic sub-brand launched by LIP in 1929, selling watches under its own name displayed on the dial. According to collection records from a French clock museum, it offered models identical or similar to watches sold under the LIP name at more affordable prices. Separate from LIP’s main watch line, it was positioned as a second line in a more accessible price range for a broader customer base. The SAM name fell out of use after World War II, making it a historic offshoot brand rather than a current line.
