What are the prototypes being offered in the second installment of the Richard Mille Japan Foundation Charity Auction 2020?

Richard Mille Japan has been engaged in ongoing charity activities since 2011 to support the recovery efforts following the Great East Japan Earthquake and 2016 to support the Kumamoto Earthquake, as well as supporting foundations run by the Richard Mille family. In 2018, the company established the "Richard Mille Japan Foundation" to further clarify its charitable activities. This year, as people are facing difficult circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, following the first charity auction, the "RM 67-02 Fernando Alonso Prototype," the brand will hold a second auction, offering the "RM 67-02 McLaren Prototype." The entire winning bid (excluding consumption tax) will be donated to the Institute for Brain Research (ICM) in Paris.

This innovative facility brings together patients, physicians, researchers, and entrepreneurs with a shared goal: to accelerate our understanding of the brain and the discovery of new treatments for neurological disorders. The institute boasts a network of over 700 researchers and clinicians, 10 cutting-edge technology platforms, a clinical trial center, and over 1,000 m² of space for startup incubation.
