Chopard "Mille Miglia GT XL Racing Pink" replica luxury watches

 

With Barbie fever sweeping the nation, we thought it only fitting to take a look at one of the most Barbie-like watches we've ever seen. Before we talk about the watch itself, let's take a look at the history of Chopard and the Mille Miglia race.

A Brief History of Chopard

Chopard was founded in 1860 by Swiss watchmaker Louis-Ulysse Chopard as LUC. Chopard quickly rose to fame. In its early years, Chopard supplied watches and jewelry to many clients, including Tsar Nicholas II. The Chopard brand continued to grow, with successive generations continuing to create timepieces. After being acquired in 1963, Chopard began to expand significantly, with a significant increase in production and a growing reputation. In 1976, Chopard launched one of its most iconic innovations, which perhaps defines the Chopard brand, the Happy Diamonds. Combining Chopard's watch and jewelry expertise, the floating diamonds were sandwiched between two sapphire crystal plates. The Happy Diamonds collection is certainly a bold move, demonstrating Chopard’s willingness to try new things. mens replica watches

Since 1978, Chopard has proudly claimed that they are one of the few Swiss watch companies to have their own foundry. This allows them to produce their own gold alloys. In 2018, the company committed to using only ethically sourced gold in its products, a noble pursuit. In 1988, Chopard began collaborating with the Mille Miglia event, creating a special sports watch collection for each year’s event.

The Mille Miglia is an annual road race that was first held in 1927. It is equivalent to approximately 1,000 Roman miles. The race route starts in the city of Brescia in the Lombardy region, goes to Rome, and then back. The event was founded by a group of local nobles after the Italian Grand Prix was moved from Brescia to its current location in Monza. Since 1977, it has been held as a parade of antique and classic cars. The winner is the team that is able to finish the race as close to the stipulated time as possible. The original race was won by such well-known drivers as Stirling Moss and Alberto Ascari. swiss replica watches

Chopard produces a new Mille Miglia watch every year for the event. Each team receives a watch with the racing number of its car engraved on the back of the case. These watches are known for their sporty aesthetic, precise timekeeping and beautiful design.

In 2011, Chopard introduced a new watch to the Mille Miglia collection – a ladies’ watch. Chopard had produced the Mille Miglia collection for 23 years before this, but had never produced a watch targeted at women. Describing this watch as pink might be a bit of an understatement. It is just pink. So pink that Barbie would be jealous. To add to the racing aesthetic, the pink rubber strap is designed to look like a Dunlop racing tire from the 60s. But it’s not just about looks. As mentioned earlier, the watches in this collection are highly accurate timepieces; with COSC-certified chronometers and stopwatch functions.

This piece of jewelry, studded with pink diamonds, puts even some of the fanciest watches to shame.
