Photos of the prototype RM016 'All Black'
23 pieces (numbered 1-25 sans nos. 4, 14 and 24) will be made for The Hour Glass, a Singapore-based retailer, for the Tempus watch fair to be held in September. This is one of a series of 'All Black' watches created for the event.
This watch is essentially a PVD-coated RM016, an ultra-slim watch utilising the same calibre as the RM010. This watch is very rather cool, but hardly a haute de gamme watch. 
Like the RM010, the movement is partially skeletonised.

I am not sure whether it's 25 pieces or numbered 1-25 less those with no. 4 inside. I'll see what I can find out. - SJX
Why no 4,14, and 24..??
Is 4 considered to be unlucky..?? Please excuse my ignorance. Yours, Andy.
It's considered an unlucky number
Because in Chinese, the phonetic for 4 sounds like death. 8 on the other hand, is considered lucky as it sounds like prosperity. - SJX
Thank you....
I assume somebody will have requested No 8 if that's possible..?? Have all the other 4's also been removed from the other black models..?? I find this fascinating....over here 13 is considered unlucky going back to the Romans who considered it a sign of d...
