The Chopard Mille Miglia collection is a prestigious line of watches created by the Swiss luxury watchmaker Chopard, inspired by the historic Mille Miglia endurance race. The Mille Miglia, a 1,000-mile open-road race held in Italy, was established in 1927 and became a legendary event in the world of motorsports.

Chopard’s association with the Mille Miglia began in 1988 when the brand’s co-president, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, participated in the race. This experience inspired him to create a watch collection that would capture the spirit of the event.

In 1988, Chopard introduced the first Mille Miglia watch, characterized by its sporty design, chronograph functionality, and tire-tread rubber straps. These timepieces quickly gained popularity among racing enthusiasts and watch collectors.

Over the years, Chopard has continued to expand the Mille Miglia collection, introducing new models with innovative features and design elements. The watches often incorporate automotive motifs and are officially certified as chronometers.

The Chopard Mille Miglia collection has become a symbol of the brand’s passion for motorsports and precision watchmaking, celebrating the rich history and excitement of the Mille Miglia race.
