A Closer Look: Chopard Mille Miglia Chronograph 2012

Chopard has released a new special edition of their classic race-inspired Mille Miglia Chronograph. This beautiful timepiece draws its inspiration from the yearly 1,000 mile Mille Miglia competition featuring collector automobiles touring from Brescia to Rome and back.

The touring event draws its heritage from an endurance race that ran through Italy until 1957, and is known as the most beautiful race in the world.

Well equipped for high speed competition, the chronograph features oversized counters for easy reading. The layout of the face is inspired by the instrument panel of a race car with the secondary hands at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions.
