Event Report: Chopard Millie Miglia 2015 launch.

The Mille Miglia race was first held from 1927 to 1957. Today the race continues and has been limited to vintage cars before 1957 which had attended the original race. Since 1988 Chopard is the official timekeeper of the race. Each year the brand launched a special edition watch to commemorate this legendary race.

Recently, Chopard held a preview party to showcase the brand's Mille Miglia 2015 watch collection to the media, customers and fans of the brand in Singapore.      

Collection from previous years were displayed

  

The 2015 collection.

Ref 168566-3002 in rose gold with an outstanding red dial.  

  Ref 168566-3002 in stainless steel case. The dial is well balanced with the date  at 3 o'clock and the power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock.

The well finished Cal 01.08-C with a long power reserve of 60 hours is manufactured in Chopard's Fleurier movement workshop. 

 I love the sporty look and it wears pretty well on my wrist. 

Ref 161293-5001 Millie Miglia GTS Chrono in rose gold. 

Ref 168571-3001 Millie Miglia GTS Chrono in stainless steel. Very sporty looking like the rest of the previous collection.

Highlights of the party.....

Fun props!
