This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week our host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by the 6-time La Mans winner and ambassador for Chopard, Jacky Ickx. To start the show Ariel and Jacky reminisce over his career and the changes that occurred in racing during his career and now. Ariel calls Jacky a professional risk taker as well as a professional driver, and Jacky describes what it is like to overcome the fear of risk in order to compete. Going through his career, Ariel brings up the infamous Le Mans 24 hour race that Jacky won 6 times, and they dive into what makes that race so special in the world of motorsports. They of course talk about Jacky’s ambassadorship with Chopard and what the company has done for him over the years. The two talk about the watches that Chopard developed, which were three limited edition Chopard Mille Miglia Jacky Ickx Men's watches, with a fourth Chopard watch designed with his help. Ariel talks about the influence on racing inspired watches that Jacky and Chopard have had since their inception, and he asks Jacky what Chopard can continue to do that will maintain their connection to classic racing today.
