Racing in style
Over the years since its launch in
1988, the
Mille Miglia has become a flagship collection of
Chopard. In
2015,
Chopard is entirely revisiting this grand classic by introducing the collection dubbed
Mille Miglia GTS (for Grand Turismo Sport). This new collection, composed of a three-hand and date chronometer, a power reserve and a chronograph, sees the introduction of a
Chopard movement: for the first time, the chronometer and power-reserve models will be equipped with a
Chopard movement from the workshops of Fleurier Ebauches. The sleek, sophisticated design of these new creations rejuvenates the Classic Racing spirit embodied by the
Mille Miglia collection, while remaining true to the identity codes of the models rolled out over the past 25 years. The
Mille Miglia GTS Automatic,
Power Control and
Chrono models vividly illustrate this renewal.

Since
1988,
Chopard has been official timekeeper of “la corsa più bella del mondo” that annually stretches from Brescia to Rome and back. The
Mille Miglia collection stems from the fascination for classic cars nurtured by
Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, co-president of
Chopard. A collector and active driver, he takes part in the race each year.

These three models with their eminently masculine curves are inspired by the classic cars that took part in the race between
1940 and
1957. Their steel cases – featuring a 43 mm diameter for the
Automatic and
Power Control versions and 44 mm for the
Chrono version – are fitted with short, pointed lugs that are carefully tapered to ensure optimal comfort on the wrist, while the sporting nature of these timepieces is enhanced by facetted hands.

High-precision Chopard movements from the Fleurier Ebauches workshops
This is the first time that certain
Mille Miglia watches are driven by a
Chopard movement.
Calibres 01.01-C and
01.08-C were entirely designed, developed and assembled in the Fleurier Ebauche workshops.

The exclusive nature of these watches entirely matches that of the glorious classic cars that take part in this race. Their construction ensures the robustness that is indispensable on models dedicated to competitive racing. Their automatic winding ensures essential ease of use. Its 60-hour power reserve enables their owner to find them still running smoothly and accurately after a period of rest.

Finally, its certification by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (
COSC) testifies to the precision of its rating, a must-have attribute for
Chopard watches in general and of course for racing drivers. This much-coveted statute is reflected by the “Chronometer” inscription appearing on the dials of each model in the new
Mille Miglia GTS collection, which bear the inscription “Chronometer”.

The bezel of the various models feature a graduated black aluminium insert accentuating the sporting nature of the
Mille Mille GTS Power Control. The dials of the watches in the
Mille Miglia GTS collection are black with red and white accents, a tribute to the aesthetic of vintage car dashboards. The power-reserve indicator evokes a petrol gauge typical of the
1950s.

The date aperture appears in the
Mille Miglia red-arrow race logo, a nod to the numbers on the doors and bonnets of the competing cars. The lively, dynamic nature of the race as a whole is symbolised by the distinctive presence of red on the dial, particularly on the minutes track and the seconds hand of each timepiece. This collection is available in steel with a steel bracelet or rubber strap, or in rose gold with a rubber strap. The latter also recalls the racing world and draws inspiration from the Dunlop tyres of classic
1960s cars.

The
Automatic and
Power Control versions introduce a font characteristic of the new
Mille Miglia GTS collection. The dial features oversized 6 and 12 o’clock numerals painted in Superluminova and reminiscent of the dashboards of classic cars that forever preserve the spirit of the “competizione” dear to the hearts of classic racing enthusiasts.
