new chopard casmir gold & diamond ladies watch

Chopard seems to know the secret how to discover new ways of winning ladies’ hearts by designing irresistibly appealing timepieces. The year 2006 witnessed the introduction of exclusive Chopard watches for ladies.

[ via Chopard ]Chopard debuted their new Mille Migilia line at Baselworld in April 2008. The model (pictured above) is the limited edition Mille Migilia GT XL Chrono Speed Black, which has a Mille Migilia emblem on the dial at 3 o'clock. The case is 44 mm in diameter and is made of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coated steel, for a finish that is not only beautiful, but ultra scratch resistant as well. The bezel is engraved with a tachometer scale, which is typical of racing chronos, and allows you to calculate average lap times. Interestingly Chopard used a curved sapphire crystal with the white numbers "12" and "6" stenciled over the the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions on the actual crystal. This is not something you see on a lot of watches, but I think it looks great. The hour markers and hands are coated with Superluminova for excellent night time visibility. The movement is a Valijoux 7750 automatic mechanical movement. Each watch has been certified by the Contr?le Officiel Suisse des Chronometres (COSC) and are therefore certified chronometers. As a tribute to the legendary Mille Migilia race the strap is crafted of natural rubber with a classic 1960 Dunlop racing tire tread. Only 1000 Limited Edition versions of this wristwatch were created and they cost around $8,500, if you can find one.
