Celsius X VI II Remontage Papillon Phone
In a world increasingly dominated by electronic devices, it’s occasionally refreshing to see a mechanical device show up again, and that instance, it does so in amazing fashion. The Celsius X VI II is a combination of a mobile phone and a watch that integrates a patented rewinding mechanism hidden within its hinge. Thanks to complex micromechanics, opening the phone activates the internal device. The design of that phone was very obviously influenced by tourbillion watches, which were invented back in the late 18th century. The vision for that phone
is to have a completely mechanical mobile phone: a phone in which every operate will be operated mechanically. Such a concept would probably seem alien in that day and age, but it seems that the price of such an interesting device is just $275,000 at the universal watch and jewelry fair BaselWorld.Permalink: Celsius X VI II Remontage Papillon Phone from Ubergizmo | RSS Sponsor: Win a Fellowes Microshred Paper Shredder!
