Chopard, Official Timekeeper, on the starting line of the 1000 Miglia 2022

For the 35th consecutive year, Chopard is once again proudly taking its place as world sponsor and official timekeeper to the 40th edition of the historic 1000 Miglia car race, which is taking place from 15 to 18 June 2022. Launched in 1927 with 77 participants, in 2022, the illustrious race, widely regarded as the most beautiful in the world, saw 404 cars made by 63 car manufacturers on the starting line in Brescia.

After last year’s return to the anti-clockwise route that was often used in the original event, the cars in 2022 are travelling the 1,609 km (1,005 Roman miles) route in a clockwise direction.

As is the case every year since 1988, during an exclusive dinner held at the Albereta Hotel the day before the race, Chopard Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, along with Jacky Ickx, unveiled a duo of stunning watches to commemorate the event in the form of the Mille Miglia 2022 Race Editions.
