This is amazing, I am not sure it will actually take off with 3D TV’s launching last year to massive hype and tailing off towards the end of the year, so let’s see how it goes with this…
LUXURY PHONES → Vertu Constellation Quest
14 th October 2010
I am going to be a VERTU owner pretty soon, I have worked with these guys before and their service is amazing!!!
It packs all the high-end design features that set a Vertu apart from more common mobile phones, but packs a full QWERTY keyboard and a wider screen to keep its user connected and in the loop.
For the Quest, Vertu has also introduced new features like Vertu Remote Assist that allows the tech support team on call ’round the clock to go into the phone and fix whatever’s not working. There’s also Vertu City Brief, providing users with fingertip access to information on whatever location they’re traveling to. All that and more, packed into a choice of stainless steel (matte or polished) or 18-karat gold case with a leather back and sapphire crystal screen.
LUXURY PHONES → Gresso Luxor World Time Luxury Phone
12 th October 2010
Luxury phone maker Gresso introduces its new Luxor World Time, designed specifically for the world traveler.
The owners of this handset have the ability to bring up the time for six different locations at a time.
This is handled by the six independent Swiss clockwork mechanisms. The company says that the power reserve is clocked at 10 years.
Watch on the back panel of the phone shows time of the five main world business centres: Tokyo, Moscow, Paris, London and New York.
The sixth, and perhaps most important, slot is wherever you want it to be, which can be your home, or where you might be travelling to.
Screen and clock-face with elegant Roman figures located on the back panel are fringed with two 97-carat sapphire crystals with high-gloss coating.
Luxor World Time case is produced from ultrastrong and superlight titanium alloy specially developed for Gresso.
It is coated with high-tech ceramics at the closing stage – such coating does not tarnish and discolor with the lapse of time (this material was originally used only in space industry).
The front panel is offset with a bezel made of planished steel with black PVD coating, while the back panel features genuine Italian leather.
Each key of the keypad made of a single sapphire crystal that has been manually polished with a diamond tool to make it pleasant to the touch.
Gresso is selling the Luxor World Time phone through its website for US$6,000
