The legendary Mille Miglia car race was held annually from 1927 to 1957 and was revived in 1977, taking its competitors over a distance of 1,000 miles through the magnificent Italian countryside from Brescia to Rome and back again. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is passionate about vintage cars and has played an active part in the race since 1988, when Chopard supported the event as a main sponsor and the official timekeeper for the first time. In his words, “Lovers of fine automobiles are said to have a weakness for precious timekeepers, and vice versa. In both fields, extreme precision and sporting elegance play an important role.”
