A Classic Timepiece Celebrating an Iconic Race and an Iconic Driver
The 2024 edition of the Mille Miglia is the Classic Chronograph JX7 inspired by racing legend Jacky Ickx.
Mille Miglia, which literally translates as “one thousand miles,” is the name for the start-of-summer long-distance rally for head-turning vintage cars travelling cobblestone streets through ancient Italian towns from Brescia to Rome and back. Each year, Chopard releases a timepiece to accompany the race, a limited run to celebrate another year of festivities. The 2024 model is the Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph JX7, inspired by racing legend Jacky Ickx and his owl-themed helmet. The timepiece boasts a handsome midnight-blue dial and a rubber strap with a tire-tread pattern. The result is a watch that mixes the elegance of classic sports cars into the world of modern timepieces.
