Chopard present for the 2019 Mille Miglia

Karl-Friedrich and Caroline Marie Scheufele

From May 15th to 21st, Chopard closely followed the 2019 edition of the Mille Miglia, the legendary Italian motor race.

The 430 or so crew members from 37 nations dotted around the world drove the rally route at the wheel of vintage cars. Starting from Brescia, the crews completed a journey of more than 1,600 km, punctuated by stops in more than thirty cities and towns, including Cervia, Bologna, Rome, Siena and Parma, before returning to the starting point.

Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, co-president of the Maison, was accompanied for the first time by his daughter Caroline Marie in a Mercedes-Benz 300SL "Gullwing". American actor Scott Eastwood competed alongside of French pilot Romain Dumas in a Porsche 550 Spyder, thus completing the Chopard team.

The 2019 edition of this event was the occasion to launch three models of watches crafted in honour of the Italian race: the Mille Miglia 2019 Race Edition and Mille Miglia Classic Zagato 100th anniversary edition chronographs, as well as the Mille Miglia GTS Power Control.
