Coincidentally, I was walking in the IFC mall yesterday and this piece caught my eye from the window. I had not seen it before, and it was instantly recognizable as different from any Chopard Chrono that I know of.
Today I was in Pacific Place, and there was another one, same case and dial. So, there are at least two in HK and I hope they fall into the hands of Purist friends.
What a wonderful watch.

Rare sight - Mille Miglia Vintage 161889-5002 with Lemania 1874
By: Kong : March 3rd, 2009-03:58
Last week, a piece arrived in Singapore. Seldom I see this piece of Mille Miglia Vintage in shops. Typically available in either Black or White dial in RG case (limited production of 250 pieces each). This piece is a new slate grey! Understand this watch ...

Can't wait to see it in the flesh. No shots of the white dial? Thanks Kong Lionel
I saw a picture of this watch with a white dial in the catalogue

and wanted to ask you what was the movement underneath. Glad it is a stunning Lemania 1874 refinished by Chopard. WOW! Does the white dial comes with sunburst as well? Cause the picture looks like lacquer/ceramic effect. I think Chopard should issue chron...
Rare Indeed!

Now this is truly a piece to post on this site and share... Rare, it definitely is. Beyond nice, it definitely is as well. Those photos of the back were almost "magical". Thanks for sharing as I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did...
GOR---GEOUS!!!

Thanks Kong, I've always admired this watch. The slate sunburst dial adds depth and fascination to this really tasteful, classic piece.
possibly the nicest Mille Miglia i've seen in years.

i've not been a fan of the newer models since i owned a 2001 model, but this is great. there's something about a 'vintage' chrono that takes a lot of beating. does the 1874 have any relationship too the Omega 861? it looks very similar although this one i...
Chopard's MM

This I fell in love at first sight. I own a L.E. MM from year 2000 with black dial. But, this one with grey dial...... I am coming over to Singapore! Thanks Kong for sharing. Best Regards - PeterZ
Lemania Calibers
By: patrickau : March 6th, 2009-00:21
If I am not mistaken, the Omega 861 is also known as Lemania 1873. From what I read on the web, the 1874 is the decorated-and-without-plastic-part version of 1873. Used in Omega 863 and 864(c.o.s.c). Feels like a moonwatch with a different brand, ah? If o...
Patrick, i may be wrong,...

Patrick, i may be wrong, but i think Longines and Tissot made watches with the same Lemania based calibre as the 861, but i'm not aware of anyone else with a 321 calibre. best Graham
