“People say that lovers of fine cars also have a great weakness for fine timepieces and vice versa. In both cases, sporting elegance and outstanding performance are especially important”.
The words spoken in 1988 by Chopard co-president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele – himself a dedicated classic car enthusiast – upon launching the first 1000 Miglia collection ring as true today as ever. The brand’s participation in the 1000 Miglia embodies a unique relationship between Chopard and classic racing.
The close ties between these two worlds have been strengthened ever since, largely due to the impressive number of common denominators that naturally draw them together. These include constant innovation, a tireless quest for performance and excellence, unfailing respect for traditions, the supreme importance of details – and of course a shared passion for mechanical engineering.
The 1000 Miglia collection pays tribute in its own unique way to the world of historical automobiles and motorsports.
These quintessentially sporting timepieces are distinguished by their sophisticated streamlined case design characterised by sleek lines reflecting the curves of historical automobiles, dials inspired by their dashboards, along with other subtle features evoking the world of classic racing. This rich collection encompasses a wide choice of models, including limited collector’s editions.
