Novelty rumour: UN hybrid cell phone

Date: Mar 06, 2009,00:56 AM - (view entire thread)

Well, in fact it is more than just a rumour: At the Basel show, Ulysse Nardin will present an exclusive business cell phone. The innovation lies in the energy supply system, which, to a part, should be left to a conventional winding rotor, known from selfwinding watch movements.

Apparently, several versions, distinguished by their material mixture from titanium, carbon fibre and gold, are planned.

For the front to be revealed, we will have to wait until the end of the month.
