Jacky Ickx

Una ilustre carrera deportiva

El belga Jacky Ickx, de 78 años, se sigue manteniendo en plena forma y siempre está impecable, ya sea probando un coche de carreras histórico o cautivando a los asistentes a un evento de Chopard con relatos de su ilustre carrera automovilística, que comenzó a principios de la década de 1960, cuando aún era un adolescente.

Realeza del automovilismo

Una leyenda indiscutible

En los círculos del automovilismo, Jacky sigue siendo una leyenda. Ganador de las 24 horas de Le Mans en seis ocasiones entre 1969 y 1982, acumuló ocho victorias en Fórmula 1 y 25 podios, y ha completado el agotador rally París-Dakar nada menos que 13 veces.

Una amistad auténtica

Una asociación que nos llena de orgullo

Jacky Ickx conoció por primera vez a Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, copresidente de Chopard, cuando ambos compitieron juntos en la 1000 Miglia de 1989. 34 años después, aquel encuentro inicial se convirtió en el inicio de la más firme de las amistades, y Jacky Ickx, de una manera elegante y sin esfuerzo, ha pasado a formar parte de la familia Chopard.

Una carrera especial

Pasiones compartidas

Desde entonces, los dos han completado juntos la 1000 Miglia nada menos que una docena de veces. Dice Jacky Ickx: "La 1000 Miglia es una carrera muy especial, llena de pasión, que plantea retos diferentes en cada ocasión. Creo que el hecho de que nunca sepas lo que va a pasar es la razón por la que me gusta tanto".

Jacky Ickx, antiguo piloto y campeón de carreras automovilísticas, y Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, copresidente de Chopard, comparten con nosotros algunos de sus recuerdos conduciendo juntos en la 1000 Miglia.

[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.
