Jacky Ickx

Eine illustre Rennkarriere

Der in Belgien geborene Jacky Ickx strotzt trotz seiner 78 Jahre vor Fitness und pflegt stets den perfekten Auftritt – ob er in einem historischen Rennwagen sitzt oder die Zuhörer bei einer Veranstaltung von Chopard mit Geschichten über seine illustre Rennsportkarriere fesselt. Diese begann in den frühen 1960er Jahren, als er noch ein Teenager war.

Grandseigneur des Motorsports

Eine absolute Legende

In der Welt des Motorsports gilt Jacky als Legende. Zwischen 1969 und 1982 gewann er rekordverdächtige sechs Mal das 24-Stunden-Rennen von Le Mans. In der Formel 1 errang er acht Siege und 25 Podiumsplätze, zudem nahm er 13 Mal an der strapaziösen Rallye Paris-Dakar teil.

Echte Freundschaft

Eine Verbindung, die stolz macht

Jacky Ickx und Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, der Co-Präsident von Chopard, trafen sich 1989 zum ersten Mal und nahmen gemeinsam an der 1000 Miglia teil. Seither sind 34 Jahre vergangen und aus dieser ersten Begegnung ist eine echte Freundschaft entstanden. Der stets elegante Jacky Ickx wurde zu einem festen Mitglied der Chopard-Familie.

Ein besonderes Rennen

Eine gemeinsame Leidenschaft

Die beiden haben die 1000 Miglia seither ein Dutzend Mal gemeinsam absolviert. Dazu sagt Jacky Ickx: „Die 1000 Miglia ist ein ganz besonderes Rennen, das jedes Mal andere Herausforderungen stellt. Ich glaube, genau deshalb – weil man nie weiß, was passieren wird – liebe ich es so sehr.“

Jack Ickx, früherer Rennfahrer und Champion, und Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-Präsident von Chopard, tauschen Erinnerungen an gemeinsame Fahrten bei der 1000 Miglia aus.

[Karl-Friedrich Scheufele] It's quite a challenge to create a new Mille Miglia design or variation every year. But the starting point for me is usually the Mille Miglia that precedes the next watch.

[Karl-Friedrich Scheufele] The main inspiration for the new classic Mille Miglia, so to speak, which Jacky has on his wrist here, was actually to go back to 1998 because you find the same bracelet again and a very similar dial, but other than that the entire watch has been completely redesigned in every detail.


(As Karl-Friedrich speaks, Jacky shows his wrist bearing the timepiece.)

[Karl-Friedrich Scheufele] The watch is made out of 80% recycled steel and the very thin rim reminds me of these beautiful dashboards that you have on some racing cars of that period.


[Jacky Ickx] I have the full collection, as he's really a good friend and now I have the full collection of Mille Miglia. And honestly, I didn't know which one to choose because he renewed it every year. And it's not easy to make a new model every year.


[Karl-Friedrich Scheufele] I think the classic Mille Miglia here kind of reunites everything that I like about the Mille Miglia.

[Karl-Friedrich Scheufele] We decided to add some colors, there's a light green dial available, also a sort of bordeaux colour dial, which reminds me of the Alfa Romeo colors.
