Introducing Chopard Unveils the new Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph

Mille Miglia, the famous Italian endurance race, started in 1927 but suffered several interruptions and cancellation during World War II and after several fatal accidents. However, since 1987, the race from Brescia to Rome and back has been consistently organized annually in May, and Chopard has been supporting Mille Miglia ever since.

Chopard, a brand synonymous with luxury and performance, has always maintained a close relationship with the automotive world. Since 1988, the brand has been associated with the iconic Mille Miglia race, and has developed a dedicated collection of racing chronographs. This year, Chopard unveiled its latest creation, the Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph French Limited Edition, celebrating 35 years of rich and passionate history with the world of motor racing.
