Jacky Ickx and the Mille Miglia …

Apr 17, 2024,18:15 PM
 

The new Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph JX7 pays tribute to legendary driver and longstanding Chopard Ambassador, Jacky Ickx. 


They say you should never meet your heroes but I have had the great privilege and pleasure to meet with and have dinner with Jacky on several occasions, always the consummate gentleman and a total legend. The stories he shared of his exploits on and off the circuit are heroic !

This Chopard watch features a wealth of references to the six-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, including his iconic midnight blue helmet.

I used to have the titanium MM.

It was nice. But I traded it in for something else.

Maybe another one someday ?

He was a great racer for sure! I like a lot of the MM watches.

Lucky indeed …

He is a real gentleman and a lucky to survive a very dangerous era of racing.

Still have this old boy.

Hi Bill, Out if interest, what made you pull the trigger on this particular Chopard ?

Definitely one for any car nut 👍
