For the 32nd consecutive year, Chopard served as main partner and official timekeeper for this new edition of the 1000 Miglia rally.
Traditionally organised in May, the car race regarded as “the world’s most beautiful” was held this year from October 22nd to 25th, in compliance with the prevailing public health regulations. This calendar upheaval did not dampen the enthusiasm of the 354 crews who set out to conquer the 1,618 kilometres of the course – all under the protective, encouraging and watchful gaze of friend of the Maison, Jacky Ickx.
Founded in 1927, the 1000 Miglia is one of the most famous automobile events in the world. Originally, the 1,618 km route was a speed race that started and ended in Brescia, with a passage through Rome. Over the years, the original route has undergone a few changes, but has remained faithful to the route designed 93 years ago by the original organisers, criss-crossing Italian scenery that has remained virtually unchanged since the beginning of the 20th century.
The competition was won by the team composed of Roberto Vesco (already a winner in 1993) and his son Andrea Vesco (who finished third in the 2018 edition and second in 2019) at the wheel of a 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Zagato.
On the occasion of this event, Chopard unveiled a series of timepieces crafted in honour of the famous motor race: the Mille Miglia 2020 Race Edition chronographs; the Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Power Control and Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Chrono models; as well as the Mille Miglia Lab One tourbillon chronometer, a concept watch uniting the finest expertise and innovation cultivated by the Chopard workshops.
