Chopard’s 2020 novelty aims to resonate with collectors.
Even before we enter this unprecedented era, watchmakers are changing their routes. The changing global economic market means that the brand has been working hard to expand its shares in North America and with female cheap watch collectors.
The young market also has different ways of wearing watches. A sporty and fashionable timepiece made this listener feel completely acceptable. You can even see celebrities wearing stainless steel chronographs on the red carpet (in the era when the red carpet still exists). Of course, collectors also pay more and more attention to environmental protection and ethics when manufacturing luxury goods.
Although we cannot predict what will happen in the future, the global pandemic seems to only reinforce these desires. Although Chopard plans to release this year before the outbreak of the pandemic, the 2020 updates of LUC, Mille Miglia and Happy Sport attract the emotional energy that the world needs today.

Adrenaline injection
Watch lovers are often racing fans, which is no secret. The complexity of clock machines and car motors determines the heart beat.
We ca n’t wait for motorsports to come back, especially the Mille Miglia race in Italy. Because this fall, Chopard once again played the role of the main sponsor and official timer of the classic car rally.
Fun fact: Chopard (Chopard) co-president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele (Karl-Friedrich Scheufele) has participated in the arduous race of 1,000 miles from Brescia to Rome since 1988, showing his passion for cars .
We still need to maintain the consistency of life now, so we are happy to report to you that the brand maintains its annual tradition of launching the new Mille Miglia fake watch series. The new models in 2020 are 43mm Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro power control and 44mm Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Chrono.
Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro power control is a stainless steel automatic time and date watch, limited to 500 pieces, and has an 18-carat rose gold crown and power reserve indicator, inspired by the car’s fuel gauge. This Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Chrono stainless steel limited edition of 750 pieces, with a sub-dial layout, pays homage to the classic car dashboard display.
Both models use a steel blue “Azzurro” dial. Similarly, contrast is the key to Chopard ‘s 2020 novelty, and the rich tones highlight the bright “Mille Miglia red” and the “1000 Miglia” arrows that make up the date window.
Chopard (Chopard) described Mille Miglia’s new series as “cars in watches”, which is an appropriate description. Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro power control and Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Chrono both have details, such as the grooved sides to recall the engine pistons, and the smooth lugs evoke the aerodynamic lines of the body. The thick winding crown is inspired by the fuel filler cap, and the buttons of the chronograph share the non-slip pattern used on the racing pedal of the car. Even the strap incorporates classic perforated leather that drivers loved in the 1950s and 1960s, and its rubber lining mimics the tread pattern of Dunlop racing tires.
Both timepieces use internal COSC certified movements. The Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro power control device has a Chopard 01.08-C movement with a 60-hour power reserve, while the astronomical clock mechanism of Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Chrono has 48 hours of power in the fuel tank.
For more contemplative collectors, the perpetual calendar watch is the ultimate expression of practicality and poetry. Chopard will launch two new functions of the LUC Perpetual Twin fake watch certified by the Observatory in 2020.
These two new versions are made of rose gold and stainless steel, which seems to illustrate the duality of time. In other words, time not only marks the present, but always moves forward.
LUC Perpetual Twin was launched in 2016 on the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Chopard watchmaking factory, and it is a dual agent in many ways. For example, its complexity makes it a prime example of high-end watches, but it also provides practicality for everyday wearers. After all, it is still the only stainless steel perpetual calendar certified by the Astronomical Clock on the market.
This year, Chopard once again launched the stainless steel LUC Perpetual Twin, but the dial uses a delicate blue dial. This is the first time in the series, it will provide 18 carat rose gold and subtle gray dial.
The dials in both versions are polished with daylight satin to emphasize contrast and thus improve the clarity of the display. The big date also provides this clarity, the big date provides the focus of the layout, and the small dial display of the calendar, day, month and leap year balances facial expressions. Clever application of hour markers can also make things look less busy.
Both versions are common. You can dress them with hand-stitched blue or brown crocodile leather and Cognac crocodile leather lining straps. Alternatively, you can choose a sporty stainless steel bracelet that is polished and satin-brushed.
Beneath two beautiful surfaces are LUC Perpetual Twin LUC 96.22-automatic winding movements. This movement showcases Chopard’s best hand-crafted and watchmaking traditions, and it is an astronomical timepiece recognized by the Swiss Official Chronographing Council (COSC) experts – this is a rarity of the perpetual calendar.
This mechanism is both elegant and powerful, and is built into the watch copy from the movement. The 22-carat gold micro-rotor is mounted on the movement plane, and its movement depth is only 6mm. Finally, Chopard’s energy-efficient dual technology uses dual barrels to provide a 65-hour power reserve.
