The Maison’s 36th appearance as world sponsor andofficial timekeeper
Chopard is proud to return to Brescia for the 36th time in succession as the World Sponsor and Official Timekeeper of the 1000 Miglia – otherwise known as ‘the most beautiful race in the world’. The partnership represents one of the longest in history between a watchmaker and an automobile event, signifying Chopard’s well known love of classic cars and its passion for motorsport. That passion is further confirmed by the fact that 2023 marks the 35th occasion that Chopard co-president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele will compete in the race from Brescia to Rome and back, having first taken part in 1989 with six-times Le Mans 24 Hours winner Jacky Ickx in the navigator’s seat. The pair will team-up again this year (as on more than a dozen previous occasions), once more tackling the gruelling course in the instantly recognisable ‘metallic raspberry’ Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing in which they made their 1000 Miglia debut. And, of course, Chopard will continue its tradition of introducing new Mille Miglia timepieces, with four Mille Miglia Classic Chronographs, plus an additional, very special ‘Italian Limited Edition’ of the Mille Miglia GTS Chronograph – some of the proceeds from which will be donated to victims of the recent Emilia-Romagna flood disaster.
A new route, a new city – and an extra day
The 1000 Miglia was first run in 1927 but – in keeping with its reputation for never growing old – this year’s event features a new route and will be run over the course of five days rather than the usual four. For the first time the race will incorporate a section from Parma to Milan, a city never before included in the 1000 Miglia and the location from which the 405 starters will make their home run to Brescia on the final day (Saturday, June 17th).
In between, the course takes them in a clockwise direction, with day one ending in an overnight stop on the coast at Cervio-Milano Marittima. An early start on Wednesday sends the group to the tiny, hilltop republic of San Marino (the fifth smallest country in the world) and up to 300 metres above sea level for a lunch break in Macerata, a town renowned for its striking palazzos and annual opera festival. The day finishes in Rome when the cars will parade around the city, followed by a dawn start on Thursday for the six-hour run to lunch in Siena (scene of the historic Palio horse race).
After tackling the famous Abertone Pass – frequently used by Ferrari’s test drivers – the crews end-up in Parma where they spend the night before heading out on Friday morning to begin the ‘home run,’ stopping at Piacenza military airport to mark the centenary of the Aeronautica Militare Italiana. After lunch in Alessandria and a further five hours on the road, the competitors will check-in at the new Milan time control point before dinner and a well-earned night’s rest.
A civilised 8am start on Saturday marks the beginning of the final 100 kilometres of the course, which will take the surviving cars back to the finish at Brescia where they will parade along the tree-lined Viale Venezia.
Two cars compete for Team Chopard
In addition to the Mercedes 300SL Gullwing crewed by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and Jacky Ickx, Chopard Ambassadors Zhu Yilong, the acclaimed Chinese actor, and Romain Dumas, the celebrated endurance racing driver, will also compete under the ‘Team Chopard’ banner in a 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster.
But before the flag drops to wave the first car off the Brescia start ramp on Tuesday (June 13th), Karl-Friedrich Scheufele will host a special welcome dinner at the beautiful and historic L’Albereta hotel, just 20km from Brescia and close to the shores of Lake Iseo within the breathtakingly beautiful Lombardy countryside. Here, guests will discover the new Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph collection that celebrates this year’s race – maintaining Chopard’s tradition of creating an all-new, dedicated design that has prevailed each year since 1988.
The 2023 Mille Miglia watches – the tradition continues
Comprising four new models crafted in Chopard’s exclusive Lucent Steel™ (50 per cent more resilient than regular steel and incorporating material recycled from the medical, aerospace, car and watch industries), the 40mm chronographs are fitted either with the Maison’s signature rubber strap based on the pattern of a ‘60s Dunlop race tyre or a rich brown calfskin leather strap evoking traditional driving gloves.
What makes this year’s Mille Miglia Classic Chronographs extra-special, however, are their dials: each of the four variations is based on the paint hues and interior finishes typically found on the type of pre-1957 cars that are eligible for the 1000 Miglia. That means a choice of Rosso Amarena (cherry red), Grigio-Blu (grey blue), Verde Chiaro (light green) and Nero Corsa (racing black). In keeping with a 36-year tradition, each watch carries a miniature ‘1000 Miglia’ route marker on its dial and case back.
In addition to the Mille Miglia Classic Chronographs, Chopard has also produced a very special version of its larger Mille Miglia GTS Chrono. Being made from Lucent Steel™ in just 100 examples, part of the proceeds from each sale will be donated to victims of the devastating floods that swept through the Emilia-Romagna region in early May. This 44mm edition carries the green and red colours of Italy, with its olive green bezel featuring a tachymeter scale for speed and distance calculations. Further marking-out the ‘form and function’ nature of Chopard’s Mille Miglia watches, the Mille Miglia GTS Chrono Limited Edition Italy is also fitted with substantial ‘mushroom’ pushers and a large diameter crown to provide a firm grip and ease of use while on the road.
Both the Chopard Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph editions and the Mille Miglia GTS Chrono Limited Edition Italy are the prefect watches for anyone taking part in ‘the most beautiful race in the world’ as well as for those who follow it. And whether you are one or the other, we wish you a thrilling but safe journey to the finish.

Admitted cars
A maximum number of 40 modern and historic cars will be admitted to the competition. Cars produced up to 1990 will be given priority in the selection.
From Sorrento to the Gulf of Naples, the Royal Palace of Caserta, the Amalfi Coast and back to Sorrento
Sorrento, the heart of the event and departure and arrival point on race days. Built on the cliff that separates it from the characteristic harbor, its historic center is a maze of narrow streets bustling with cafés, shops and typical artisans.
The walk between Piazza Tasso, the Cathedral, the church of San Francesco with its renowned cloister, Corso Italia, the citrus groves and the seafront promenade facing the Bay of Naples will offer participants a pleasant immersion in the town overlooking the sea.
The Gulf of Naples is universally recognized as one of the most beautiful corners of the world: historic and architectural treasures, wonders of antiquity and more recent history as well as fascinating natural scenery attract tourists from all over the world every year.
With Vesuvius, Capri, Ischia and Procida on the horizon, the Gulf has three large inlets: the small bay of Pozzuoli, the port of Naples and the bay of Castellammare.
There are two key entry passages: Bocca Grande, between Ischia and Capri, and Bocca Piccola, between Capri and Punta Campanella.
Designed in the 18th century by Luigi Vanvitelli at the behest of Charles III of Bourbon, the Royal Palace of Caserta is the triumph of Italian Baroque.
The beauty of the interiors, which include the King’s and Queen’s Apartments, the Palatine Library, the Picture Gallery and the Historical Archives, among others. The magnificence of the Park, divided into an Italian-style garden and an English garden, covers an area of 120 hectares and is almost three kilometers long, undoubtedly recalling the opulence of the Palace of Versailles.
The Amalfi Coast, characterized by an unrivalled gastronomic tradition, small towns overlooking the sea and a priceless historical heritage, stretches from Positano to Vietri sul Mare.
Characterized by high cliffs, enchanting coves and small bays, terraces of citrus fruits, vines, olive groves and artisan workshops, it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as a perfect example of a Mediterranean landscape with a setting of great cultural and natural value.
Entries are now open for the 2023 edition of Sorrento Roads by 1000 Miglia, the spring event that from March 30 to April 2 will offer a small number of participants the chance to immerse themselves in one of the world’s most envied Mediterranean landscapes.
Like last year, Sorrento is confirmed as the heart of the event: in fact, from here, on Friday, March 31, the “on the road” day will start, taking the participating cars to discover first the Royal Palace of Caserta and then the Amalfi Coast, offering the beauty of the view of high cliffs, enchanting coves, small bays and terraces of citrus fruits, vines, and olive trees.
The day of Saturday, April 1, will take place entirely in the center of Sorrento, where the participating cars will parade before being displayed for the Popular Jury’s evaluation. This will be followed by the 1 vs. 1 challenge in the city center, a knockout regularity trial that will award the City of Sorrento Trophy and conclude the sporting part of the event.
The Prize-Giving Ceremony and Gala Dinner will offer participants the chance to enjoy the food and wine delicacies of Campania and the warm hospitality of the area and its enthusiasts.

Aniversarios importantes en la historia de la marca Mercedes-Benz en 2023:
60 años del Mercedes-Benz 600 (W 100)
Este vehículo causó sensación en el Salón Internacional del Automóvil de 1963. La marca publicitaba el nuevo modelo superior como “El ‘Grand Mercedes’ 600 – El vehículo exclusivo de gran prestigio”. Con lujo, comodidad y seguridad en la conducción, el “600” tomó la delantera entre el pequeño grupo de autos exquisitos y de alto prestigio. El Mercedes-Benz 600 estaba disponible como Berlina, Pullman Berlina y Landaulet. Fue producido en Sindelfingen en un proceso de producción acabado a mano hasta 1981.
60 años del Mercedes-Benz SL “Pagoda” (W 113)
En marzo de 1963, el Mercedes-Benz 230 SL de la serie W 113 sustituyó tanto al 300 SL Roadster (W 198) como al 190 SL (W 121) en el Mismo tiempo. Fue el primer automóvil deportivo del mundo con carrocería de seguridad. Este fue un principio desarrollado por Béla Barényi, con un compartimento de pasajeros sólido y zonas deformables. La serie W 113 recibió el sobrenombre de “Pagoda” debido al techo rígido cóncavo: la silueta del techo recuerda a los templos asiáticos del mismo nombre. A lo largo de los años hasta 1971, la W 113 se ofreció sucesivamente como 230 SL, 250 SL y 280 SL.
30 años del 500 GE V8 de la serie 463
El primer modelo Clase G con motor V8 debutó en marzo de 1993 en el Salón del Automóvil de Ginebra. El 500 GE V8 fue el precursor de las potentes y lujosas versiones de la Clase G en los años siguientes. El motor M 117 V8 con tecnología de dos válvulas desarrollaba 177 kW (240 hp) y 375 Newton-metro de torque con una cilindrada de 4973 centímetros cúbicos. La velocidad máxima era de 180 km/h, mientras que la aceleración de 0 a 100 km/h se lograba en 11,4 segundos.
30 años de la Clase C de la serie 202
En mayo de 1993, Mercedes-Benz presentó la segunda generación de la clase compacta. El sucesor del exitoso “190” (serie 201) estableció una nueva nomenclatura en la gama de modelos de la marca: a partir de ese momento, la clase compacta se denominó “Clase C”, en consonancia con la denominación familiar “Clase S”. . En la década de 1990, esta lógica también se aplicó a la Clase E y la Clase G, así como a las nuevas series de modelos como la Clase A, B y M. Entre otras cosas, el primer Mercedes-Benz Clase C introdujo el concepto de diferentes líneas de diseño y equipamiento, así como sistemas adicionales de seguridad activa y pasiva para este segmento de vehículos.
Vehículos de Mercedes-Benz Classic en Retro Classics 2023
Automóvil de patente Benz, 1886.
El 29 de enero de 1886, el sueño de Carl Benz se hizo realidad: el diseñador de Mannheim solicitó una patente para su “vehículo con funcionamiento con motor de gas”. El número de patente DRP 37435 se considera el certificado de nacimiento del automóvil y le dio su nombre a Patent Motor Car. El primer automóvil del mundo fue un diseño completamente independiente, con una unidad orgánica compuesta por motor y chasis. Benz lo diseñó como un vehículo de tres ruedas, ya que no le convenció la dirección de la barra de tiro que se utiliza para los carruajes. El logro decisivo de Carl Benz fue la implementación sistemática de su visión del “carruaje sin caballos”: tuvo la idea de un automóvil, lo patentó, lo diseñó, lo construyó y lo probó. Lanzó el vehículo al mercado; lo produjo en masa, lo desarrolló aún más y así hizo que su invento fuera utilizable. El Benz Patent Motor Car marcó el comienzo de una nueva era de movilidad personal. Los visitantes de Retro Classics pueden embarcarse en un viaje en el tiempo y vivir de cerca este hito en la historia de la tecnología. En el stand de Mercedes-Benz Classic, hay una réplica fiel del vehículo como punto de fotografía. El Patent Motor Car va acompañado de una actriz vestida de Bertha Benz. La esposa de Carl Benz apoyó el desarrollo de su marido con gran vigor e influencia, y en agosto de 1888 incluso emprendió el primer viaje de larga distancia en automóvil, de Mannheim a Pforzheim y viceversa.

Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupé “Chasis rodante” (W 198), 1954
En febrero de 1954 se presentó en Nueva York el deportivo de serie 300 SL Coupé (W 198). Sus puertas de ala de gaviota no eran un fin estético en sí mismas, sino una necesidad técnica. Esto se debió a que el vehículo se basó en un marco tubular liviano y extremadamente resistente a la torsión. Fue construido tan alto en los lados que los diseños de puertas convencionales no se pudieron realizar. Incluso en 1954, año de su estreno, la marca utilizó un chasis con tecnología visible como fascinante exhibición en los principales salones del automóvil. El marco tubular, que pesaba alrededor de 75 kilogramos, se soldó a partir de tubos que se ensamblaron en triángulos y, por lo tanto, solo bajo cargas de tracción y compresión. La exposición muestra claramente la instalación en ángulo del motor de seis cilindros, así como todo el tren de transmisión con caja de cambios, ejes y eje de transmisión.

1932 DUESENBERG J FIGONI SPORTS TORPEDO NAMED BEST OF SHOW AT THE 71ST PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (August 21, 2022) — A unique Duesenberg reprised its early role as Concours winner by taking the top prize at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
This year, 220 cars from 19 countries and 33 states pulled onto the competition field of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and the car named Best of Show was the 1932 Duesenberg J Figoni Sports Torpedo of Lee R. Anderson Sr.
“This rare Duesenberg marries American might with European style,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “It did well in some early rallies and concours. Then, its history took a turn, with chassis separated from body. The story of its resurrection is one of pure passion.”
An American car last won Best of Show in 2013, when a 1934 Packard Twelve took the top spot. Duesenberg has long been the winningest American marque at Pebble Beach, with six prior wins; this win brings its total to seven.
“My goodness, we’re overwhelmed,” Penny Anderson exclaimed. “We just can’t believe we won Best of Show! We’ve met so many people through the years, enjoyed all the people that participate. It’s just a joy and an honor to be here.”
“We’ve been doing this for years, and we’ve come close in the past,“ said Lee, “but we’ve never won actually, so Penny is right, it’s overwhelming. All the preparation—the story behind this car is just amazing. There’s only one Figoni Duesenberg, ever ever, and it’s this one right here. So, it’s like all these things coming together to make a real champion. We’re so excited.”
This year’s race for Best of Show featured other strong contenders, including Fritz Burkard’s 1937 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Figoni & Falaschi Teardrop Coupé, Sam and Emily Mann’s 1930 Duesenberg J Graber Cabriolet, and Merle and Peter Mullin’s 1951 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Stabilimenti Farina Cabriolet.
The Pebble Beach Concours raised more than $2.67 million for charity this year, bringing the event’s total charitable donations to over $35 million to date. Through the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the primary charitable partner of the Concours, these funds will benefit more than 95 local charities, impacting the lives of more than 10,000 children annually in Monterey County.
Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, concluded its 18th annual Pebble Beach Auctions this weekend, realizing over $105 million in sales. Several star cars set new world records, including the 1990 Ferrari F40, which sold for $3,965,000, and the 1994 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, which achieved $3,167,500. The top sale of the weekend was a stunningly elegant 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante, which achieved a final sale price of $10,345,000.
The 72nd Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will take place on Sunday, August 20, 2023, and will celebrate famed coachbuilder Joseph Figoni and Pegaso. Additional 2023 features include Invicta, Mercedes-Benz S / SS / SSK, McLaren, Alvis, and American Dream Cars of the 1950s—with more features to be announced in the early fall.

1932 DUESENBERG J FIGONI SPORTS TORPEDO NAMED BEST OF SHOW AT THE 71ST PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (August 21, 2022) — A unique Duesenberg reprised its early role as Concours winner by taking the top prize at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
This year, 220 cars from 19 countries and 33 states pulled onto the competition field of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and the car named Best of Show was the 1932 Duesenberg J Figoni Sports Torpedo of Lee R. Anderson Sr.
“This rare Duesenberg marries American might with European style,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “It did well in some early rallies and concours. Then, its history took a turn, with chassis separated from body. The story of its resurrection is one of pure passion.”
An American car last won Best of Show in 2013, when a 1934 Packard Twelve took the top spot. Duesenberg has long been the winningest American marque at Pebble Beach, with six prior wins; this win brings its total to seven.
“My goodness, we’re overwhelmed,” Penny Anderson exclaimed. “We just can’t believe we won Best of Show! We’ve met so many people through the years, enjoyed all the people that participate. It’s just a joy and an honor to be here.”
“We’ve been doing this for years, and we’ve come close in the past,“ said Lee, “but we’ve never won actually, so Penny is right, it’s overwhelming. All the preparation—the story behind this car is just amazing. There’s only one Figoni Duesenberg, ever ever, and it’s this one right here. So, it’s like all these things coming together to make a real champion. We’re so excited.”
This year’s race for Best of Show featured other strong contenders, including Fritz Burkard’s 1937 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Figoni & Falaschi Teardrop Coupé, Sam and Emily Mann’s 1930 Duesenberg J Graber Cabriolet, and Merle and Peter Mullin’s 1951 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Stabilimenti Farina Cabriolet.
The Pebble Beach Concours raised more than $2.67 million for charity this year, bringing the event’s total charitable donations to over $35 million to date. Through the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the primary charitable partner of the Concours, these funds will benefit more than 95 local charities, impacting the lives of more than 10,000 children annually in Monterey County.
Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, concluded its 18th annual Pebble Beach Auctions this weekend, realizing over $105 million in sales. Several star cars set new world records, including the 1990 Ferrari F40, which sold for $3,965,000, and the 1994 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, which achieved $3,167,500. The top sale of the weekend was a stunningly elegant 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante, which achieved a final sale price of $10,345,000.
The 72nd Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will take place on Sunday, August 20, 2023, and will celebrate famed coachbuilder Joseph Figoni and Pegaso. Additional 2023 features include Invicta, Mercedes-Benz S / SS / SSK, McLaren, Alvis, and American Dream Cars of the 1950s—with more features to be announced in the early fall.

1932 DUESENBERG J FIGONI SPORTS TORPEDO NOMBRADO BEST OF SHOW EN EL 71ST PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE
PEBBLE BEACH, California (21 de agosto de 2022) — Un Duesenberg único repitió su primer papel como ganador del Concours al llevarse el primer premio en el Concours d’Elegance de Pebble Beach.
Este año, 220 autos de 19 países y 33 estados entraron al campo de competencia del Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance , y el auto nombrado Best of Show fue el Duesenberg J Figoni Sports Torpedo de 1932 de Lee R. Anderson Sr.
“Este raro Duesenberg une el poder estadounidense con el estilo europeo”, dijo la presidenta del Concours, Sandra Button. “Le fue bien en algunos mítines y concursos tempranos. Luego, su historia dio un giro, con el chasis separado de la carrocería. La historia de su resurrección es una de pura pasión”.
Un automóvil estadounidense ganó por última vez el Best of Show en 2013, cuando un Packard Twelve de 1934 ocupó el primer lugar. Duesenberg ha sido durante mucho tiempo la marca estadounidense con más victorias en Pebble Beach, con seis victorias anteriores; esta victoria eleva su total a siete.
“Dios mío, estamos abrumados”, exclamó Penny Anderson. “¡Simplemente no podemos creer que ganamos Best of Show! Hemos conocido a tanta gente a lo largo de los años, hemos disfrutado de todas las personas que participan. Es una alegría y un honor estar aquí”.
“Hemos estado haciendo esto durante años y hemos estado cerca en el pasado”, dijo Lee, “pero en realidad nunca hemos ganado, así que Penny tiene razón, es abrumador. Toda la preparación: la historia detrás de este auto es simplemente asombrosa. Solo hay un Figoni Duesenberg, siempre, y es este de aquí. Entonces, es como si todas estas cosas se unieran para hacer un verdadero campeón. Estamos muy emocionados”.
La carrera de este año por Best of Show contó con otros fuertes contendientes, incluido el Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Figoni & Falaschi Teardrop Coupé de 1937 de Fritz Burkard, el Duesenberg J Graber Cabriolet de 1930 de Sam y Emily Mann, y el Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport de 1951 de Merle y Peter Mullin. Estabilizadores Farina Cabriolet.
El Pebble Beach Concours recaudó más de $2,67 millones para obras de caridad este año, elevando las donaciones benéficas totales del evento a más de $35 millones hasta la fecha. A través de Pebble Beach Company Foundation, el principal socio caritativo de Concours, estos fondos beneficiarán a más de 95 organizaciones benéficas locales, impactando las vidas de más de 10,000 niños anualmente en el condado de Monterey.
Gooding & Company, la casa de subastas oficial del Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, concluyó su 18.ª subasta anual de Pebble Beach este fin de semana, logrando más de $105 millones en ventas. Varios autos estrella establecieron nuevos récords mundiales, incluido el Ferrari F40 de 1990, que se vendió por $3,965,000, y el Bugatti EB110 Super Sport de 1994, que logró $3,167,500. La mejor venta del fin de semana fue un increíblemente elegante Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante de 1937, que alcanzó un precio de venta final de $10,345,000.
El 72º Concurso de Elegancia de Pebble Beach se llevará a cabo el domingo 20 de agosto de 2023 y celebrará al famoso carrocero Joseph Figoni y Pegaso. Las características adicionales de 2023 incluyen Invicta, Mercedes-Benz S / SS / SSK, McLaren, Alvis y American Dream Cars de la década de 1950, y se anunciarán más características a principios del otoño.
