Gadget watch - self-charging phone

ulysse-nardin-the-chairmanMeet the Chairman. We’re talking VIP but Very Important Phone as opposed to Person, because the Chairman is a new phone with a difference.

The clue is in its maker - Ulysse Nardin, watch maker extraordinaire. This phone takes top-of-the-range watch technology and teams it up with a touchscreen giving us a stylish hybrid handset. Its built-in battery is charged by the kinetic energy generated by the moving rotor so that your phone charges without you even noticing, while it’s working.

But if you thought this was a gimmick phone, think again. Ulysse Nardin have created an interesting multi-touch smartphone. Complete with Wi-Fi, 5 megapixel camera and 2.8 inch screen, the Chairman ulysse-nardin-the-chairman-rotorcertainly sounds like a phone to look out for. Release dates and price are currently under wraps but we’ll keep you posted.

This mobile looks like an expensive one, does anyone know wether it will be on pay as you go, sim free or contract?

You’re right there, pay-as. Ulysse Nardin is a luxury watch-maker and they’ve set the price of this phone to match - it should be around $10,000, depending on what kind of gold you want on your model.
On the other hand, it does come unlocked and will accept any SIM.
If that’s not too steep for you, you can pre-order the phone at the company’s website
