Another luxury brand collaboration with The Hour Glass…
I’ve long been a fan of Chopard‘s Mille Miglia collection of watches, and today I’ve got a special edition “all-black” DLC Mille Miglia watch to show you. Overall, the Mille Miglia timepieces are an excellent embodiment of auto-racing sport and culture, not to mention all-around cool looking watches. This particular model is the results of a collaboration between Chopard and The Hour Glass, a famous group of Singapore-based watch boutiques celebrating 150 years in 2010. The watch is limited to just 150 pieces worldwide, but you can only buy it through the aforementioned Hour Glass. Comes with the rubber strap (pictured) and also a black calf-strap with orange stitching. Available August 2010. No word on price, but I would guess upwards of $10,000.

On a side note, this is the second high end boutique/brand collaboration I recall in recent months (see: Urwerk White Shark for Chronopassion Paris and The Hour Glass). I’m not quite sure how these arrangements work, but I would guess that in these instances the boutiques are somehow sharing the costs (production, marketing or otherwise) of having these pieces produced exclusively for their particular boutiques. And given the results that such collaborations can produce, I like these partnerships!
