All the more reason to take a look at the new RM 029 Automatic Le Mans Classic, produced in a limited edition by Richard Mille.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 24 Hours of Le Mans is known around the world. Every year, the administrative services of the Sarthe <em>d\u00e9partement<\/em> don their driving gloves, helmet and overalls to host one of the most popular sporting events around the globe. An event that will soon celebrate its centenary, since the first race was held in 1923. The much more recent Classic version was created in 2002 for vintage sports cars that took part in the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1923 and 1993.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic alas put the brakes on the 2020 edition of this two-yearly event, but thankfully it will take place as scheduled in 2022. Richard Mille decided to mark the occasion with the unexpected release of the sublime RM\u00a0029 Automatic Le Mans Classic:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RM 029 Le Mans Classic \u2014 RICHARD MILLE\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8HKlxFI2Mto?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For each Le Mans Classic race, 700 historic racing cars take to the legendary Bugatti circuit along with over 8,000 non-competing others exhibited by clubs and collectors. Richard Mille has chosen to demonstrate his ties with this event, which he has been a partner of since its inception in 2002, through this limited edition series priced at around \u20ac170,000. So it\u2019s no coincidence that the case sports the emblematic white and green colour combination (in quartz) of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemansclassic.com\/language\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>le Mans Classic<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-112917 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/richard-mille-makes-its-return-to-le-mans\/attachment\/rm029-lmc_34back_bb-copie-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RM029-LMC_34BACK_BB-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RM029-LMC_34BACK_BB-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RM029-LMC_34BACK_BB-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/richard-mille-makes-its-return-to-le-mans\/attachment\/rm029-lmc_profil-34-left_bb-copie-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RM029-LMC_PROFIL-34-LEFT_BB-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RM029-LMC_PROFIL-34-LEFT_BB-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RM029-LMC_PROFIL-34-LEFT_BB-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/richard-mille-makes-its-return-to-le-mans\/attachment\/rm029-lmc_fullfront_bb-copie-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RM029-LMC_FULLFRONT_BB-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RM029-LMC_FULLFRONT_BB-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RM029-LMC_FULLFRONT_BB-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The front bezel features the characteristic double Le Mans stripes, also created from Quartz TPT pieces.
