opt for the joaillerie version in 18-carat rose or white gold fully set with diamonds and a mother-of-pearl dial. Racing enthusiasts looking for a modern timepiece that captures the spirit of the track will be thrilled to examine the Mille Miglia GTS timepiece that comes in three models. These masculine curved watches are inspired by the classic cars from the years 1940 to 1957 that took part in the race and are available in 43mm Automatic and Power Control versions or the 44mm Chrono version; they come fitted with pointed lugs tapered to ensure optimal wrist comfort. The wrist straps of the watch further display tire grooves to signal its racing pedigree and also comes complete with an open sapphire crystal caseback, allowing the wearer to admire its beautiful housed movement. A noble and distinguished watch new to the Imperial collection represents the merging of contemporary elegance echoing the grandeur of the Roman Empire. The collection displays strength through a wealth of characteristics that pay respective nods to the heyday of the Imperial age. Roman numerals dominate the dial, while its curved hands are reminiscent of the tapered daggers used in battles of yore. The shape of the lugs reflects the tradition of ancient columns while a diamond-set crown is fitted in the middle of the case with its pure sleek sides designed to give the model a lustrous glow. The finesse of its details makes it an eminently feminine model that proudly shows off the splendour of imperial classicism.
