Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin presents the Chairman phone

26 March, 2009
It's fancy, fashionable, pretentious and extra expensive. It's both a mechanical watch and a smartphone. It takes 5 megapixel pictures and has Wi-Fi module. It's touch-enabled and it's called the Chairman phone...

rado_shisharkata, 29 Mar 2009Imagine how a Hublot "Big Bang" phone would look like! Prob... moreWhat does Big Bang has to do with this? Besides, Hublot to Ulysse is what Honda is to Mercedes Benz.

    Imagine how a Hublot "Big Bang" phone would look like! Probably it would cost 25 000 euro +. And image that you have a "Big Bang" rose gold watch too...

      In the long run, this phone is going to be one of the most expensive phones in mobile phone history.

      The fact that it's a LIMITED edition phone (only 1846 units will be sold) and a BRAND that is renowned for making quality SWISS watches just says it all!

      This phone's price will appreciate rather than depreciate as the years go by. A luxury phone this LIMITED and REPUTABLE, I really wish I could afford to buy one. It's a lifetime asset.

        Absolutely love it! Cant wait till specs come out. As compared to Vertu, at least this phone has a reputable luxury brand behind it to justify the high price!

          Ulysse Nardin doesn't exactly make beautiful watches, check them out. Maybe if you're a yachtsman with no taste. This phone looks better than those watches, but still somehow tacky.

                      I heard from a guy that works at a exclusive watch store today that there is rumour from a reliable source in the branch that the price of this phone is gonna be about 7000 - 8000 Euros for the basic model and upwards. And they are only gonna be sold through watch and jewellery stores, and all of them will unlocked and won't be available with any kinda contract or long term plan. Freakin hell, who the hell is gonna pay like 8000 Euros for a phone? This is just what this watchseller told me, it can be true or not.

                        wow, who would be stupid enough to buy such a pointless phone. it doesn't even look nice which kinda defeats the object of a phone like this.

                          this thing is amazingly disgusting. nothing works as the company has promised. you gotta be a mad buyer to get this junk.

                              this is brilliant. this is the first luxury phone i've seen that does wat the phones in present day should do. all the other luxury phones have a million dollars worth of jewels, but have the same tehcnology that was being used 10 years ago. KINETICS... absolutely Brilliant!!!

                                      another high end fone designed by someone with no sight.
                                      specs is ok, looks pig ugly. if i had money i would buy a nice fone, not a jumped up piece of junk that looks like a babys nappy filler
