On this page, discover why Chopard Mille Miglia watches have become essential references in the watchmaking world - and why they have their place on page.fr, the brand's official retailer.

The story of a legendary partnership

Since 1988, Chopard has been the official partner and appointed timekeeper of the Mille Miglia, the legendary regularity motor race from Brescia to Rome and back. Nicknamed “the most beautiful race in the world”, the Mille Miglia brings together vintage car enthusiasts every year in an atmosphere that is as prestigious as it is friendly.

This link between the Geneva-based company and the automotive world is no coincidence. It is based on shared values: respect for tradition, attention to detail, a passion for mechanics and a love of fine craftsmanship. It is in this spirit that Chopard has created a watch collection entirely dedicated to the race: Mille Miglia, a line of watches designed for enthusiasts and aesthetes alike.

Every year, to coincide with the race, Chopard presents new editions inspired by legendary racing cars, brilliantly combining vintage design, cutting-edge technology and the spirit of competition. This continuity over time makes the Mille Miglia one of the most enduring watchmaking partnerships in history.

Karl-Friedrich Scheufele: a passion for cars at the heart of the collection

Behind the Mille Miglia collection lies a sincere and authentic passion: that of Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, co-president of Chopard. A great lover of vintage cars, he himself regularly takes part in the Mille Miglia race, at the wheel of exceptional racing cars. For him, this partnership is not a simple marketing commitment, but a human and emotional adventure.

It is this unique proximity to the classic car world that gives the collection its legitimacy. Every detail of the Mille Miglia watches - from dials inspired by speedometers to straps reminiscent of vintage tires - reflects this passion, designed by an enthusiast, for enthusiasts.

This personal, tangible and self-assured link gives the Mille Miglia a rare authenticity in the world of watchmaking. It is also what makes it one of the most coherent collections and one of the most appreciated by connoisseurs.

A design inspired by classic cars

Each Chopard Mille Miglia watch is a declaration of love to classic racing cars. Its carefully crafted design incorporates the aesthetic codes of the automotive world from the 1920s to the 1960s, an iconic era of racing. The result: pieces with a strong style, recognizable at first glance.

The dial, often featuring multiple counters, is reminiscent of vintage dashboards with their contrasting hands and applied indexes. The typography of the numerals, rounded or italic, is a direct reminder of period dashboard instruments. The famous red arrow-shaped “1000 Miglia” logo proudly adorns each piece, as an iconic nod to the race.

But this racing inspiration is also expressed in the choice of materials: the grooved rubber strap in the style of a Dunlop tire, or the perforated leather in the style of a racing driver's gloves, add an authentic touch to the experience on the wrist.

The whole is contained in a robust yet refined case with meticulous finishing, often fitted with chronograph pushers in the shape of a piston. Resolutely sporty, the Mille Miglia watch is nonetheless elegant and timeless, true to the Chopard DNA.

Certified Swiss mechanics for enthusiasts

Behind the sleek design of Chopard Mille Miglia watches lies high-level Swiss mechanics. True to its standards, the company equips each model with precision automatic movements, often certified as chronometers by the COSC, a guarantee of impeccable regularity and reliability.

Depending on the references, the watches incorporate watchmaking functions designed for enthusiasts of fine mechanics:

• A chronograph to measure split times
• A date display or large date display
• A comfortable power reserve, often up to 48 hours

Some special editions even feature calibers from Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier, whose finishes rival those of the biggest names in fine watchmaking.

More than just a beautiful object, each Mille Miglia is a precision timepiece, designed to keep pace with an intense lifestyle – or a breakneck race. Whether you are a pilot or a watch enthusiast, you will find a watch in this collection that is as reliable as it is charismatic.
