If you have up to a spare 9,000 to spend on a luxury cell phone, then the Ulysses Nardin Chairman Smartphone might be the one for you.
The company was founded in Switzerland in 1846, and was originally a manufacturer of marine chronometers. The Ulysses Nardin brand was acquired by businessmen in 1983, and relaunched as a maker of premium wristwatches. And also now, a maker of a premium mobile phone.
The Ulysses Nardin Chairman runs on the Google Android operating system, in its initial run that will be Android version 2.1. On the front, it possesses both a 3.2″ capacitive touchscreen with a full on screen QWERTY keyboard, plus physical numeric keys. The primary battery provides up to 8 hours talk time and 30 days standby time, and onboard the phone is 32GB of internal memory.
High-end features of the phone include:
*Fingerprint reader for owner identification and phone lock *8 megapixel camera *High definition video replay capability
The Chairman has two features in which you can truly see the heritage of Ulysses Nardin as a watchmaker. As you would expect to see on a wind-up watch, the Ulysses Nardin Chairman Smartphone has a crown, located on the right-hand side of the watch. Winding the crown tops up a secondary battery, giving you emergency power in situations where the battery runs low.
On the back of the Ulysses Nardin Chairman smartphone is a second distinctly wristwatch-looking feature. Through a circular window you'll partially see an automatic movement weight, much like you'd expect to see on one of the modern breed of watches that expose their inner workings as a design feature. This watch-like feature provides the power for the charging of the secondary battery.
In its 'standard' range, the Ulysses Nardin Chairman phone is available in five color / precious metal configurations:
*Steel Blue *Stealth Black *Rose Gold & Steel *Rose Gold & Blue *Rose Gold & Black
The price in these color and metal configurations varies from US ,000 to US,000. An even more limited edition and luxurious edition of the phone is the Chairman Diamond Edition, which adds 18-carat white gold, over 2,000 diamonds and a ceramic trim into the design mix. The Chairman Diamond Edition has a price of US9,000.
The Ulysses Nardin Chairman Smartphone is packages not in a small hinged plastic box, instead the phone is presented in a lacquered wooden box.
Only 1,846 of each model will be sold, a nod to 1836, the founding year of the Ulysses Nardin company. If you have an unlimited amount of spare cash for such a phone, get in early to pick up one of these very limited edition items!
