The world’s first luxury hybrid smart phone, the Chairman by Ulysse Nardin is highly coveted by luxury connoisseurs worldwide, carving the new frontier for design and technology.

The culmination of rigorous research and development by scientific Cellular Innovations (SCI) has paired the historical, mechanical art of watch making with modern technology to create 1846 limited edition pieces of each Chairman style in honor of Ulysse Nardin’s founding year.

The Chairman incorporates the distinctive Ulysse Nardin mechanical watch rotor which creates kinetic energy to supply supplemental power to the phone.  Made from over 300 handmade parts fashioned from the finest materials, the Chairman is compatible with GSM and 3G networks around the globe and equipped with 32GB of memory and a 3.2” sapphire crystal capacitive touch screen with thumb print recognition. Its DNA follows in the heritage of all Ulysse Nardin creations before it with select models incorporating hand-finished anodized aerospace grade aluminum alloy, 18 karat gold cases, 22 karat gold rotors, sapphire crystal, carbon fiber, marine grade stainless steel and rhodium-plated components.

An amazing accomplishment in design and craftsmanship, the Chairman is also available in a Diamond Edition, hand set with over 3,000 round brilliant cut diamonds of the finest quality, totaling over 17 carats. Made with 18 karat gold white gold, the Chairman Diamond edition is hand-assembled by the world’s finest craftsmen. Only 100 models of this edition will be made available.

The Chairman has become one of the most in demand luxury accessories in the world and to complement the hand-held masterpiece, SCI created the world’s finest docking station. A work of art in it’s own right, and resembling the famed “Ulysse Nardin Ship Chronometers,” this gorgeous lacquered wooden docking station is as functional as it is stylish. A unique, one-of-a-kind creation, the multifunctional docking station charges the battery, backs-up all data to an exterior USB and includes a pair of premium speakers which can be driven by most Bluetooth devices. Comprised of over 260 parts, the attractive docking station is entirely hand-assembled.
