Chopard has sponsored the legendary Old-Timer Meeting since 1988 and since then, the company has annually introduced a new Mille Miglia wristwatch. The automobile race was held annually from 1927 to 1957 on a course that ran from Brescia to Rome and back to Brescia. In 1977 the competition was revived as an old-timer race.
