The Richard Mille RM 016 Black Night

Recently I read on another watch blog that the “DLC Thing” was over, out of date, and so last year.  That maybe so, but watches with pitch black cases, shadowy dials and inky inner workings just keep on coming.

As far as blacked-out watches go, the Richard Mille RM 016 Black Night is just about as fly as they get – big, yet flat on the wrist, superbly technical with a skeletonized movement and with the intensity of a vivid red flange just the right touch of drama.

Richard Mille watches are engineered, not made.  This is a brand at the cutting edge of what can be achieved in watch construction.  With each piece expect statistics, data and measurements, whether we’re talking case, caliber or simply the screws used to fix it together. Richard Mille watches are pricey, they are unique, they are fantastic.

Inside this one is the skeletonized RMAS7 automatic movement with variable geometry rotor producing 55 hours of power reserve.  Reassuringly exclusive, just 10 Richard Mille RM 016 Black Night watches will be made.
