With Chopard celebrating the special event (Mille Miglia) every year, it comes as no surprise that a new watch has been brought out – we forgot to mention that each year, since they began their partnership, they have brought out a new watch to pay homage to the 1000 mile race. A truly wonderful way to increase not only their portfolio, but also the awareness for the race itself.

This particular black leather strap Chopard, is limited to only 250 pieces, which creates that sense of demand, which we see within the watchmaker as a whole.

A little bit about the watch:

Born in 1791, this master watchmaker can only grow from strength to strength, as we can see from the watches they produce. And if we take a look at this watch in particular – the “1966 Infinity”, we can see that they have dialed down (pun intended) on the overall aesthetics, with a more simplistic approach, unlike many other models within the house’s line. But it’s definitely not a bad thing, as the simplicity it radiates, allows for that seamless blend of all the elements involved, which in turn displays that luxurious essence, through the contours and curves of all the materials throughout.

It features a black onyx dial, which allows for the hands and indices to really pop. But it also has some great functionalities, and if we take a look behind the dial, we can start to see them. This includes the automatic movement with a 46-hour power reserve, which we’ll discuss right now.

A little bit about the watch:

Wow! What an incredible timepiece. This Piaget Altiplano Ultimate sits at a cool 4.3mm in thickness, making it one of the thinnest watches in the world.
