Celsius X VI II Papillon Tourbillon Mobile Phone

Upon its first revelation to the world, the tourbillon was seen as a device of magic. It appeared to defy physics, a delicate piece of metallic machinery that operated in suspension of gravity. Almost exclusively, the tourbillon was used as a centerpiece of luxury watches, but today it has made its way to the technologic sidearm of modern times, the mobile phone. The Celsius X VI II Papillon Tourbillon Mobile Phone features a tourbillon, front-and-center within its sleek black case. It is used to tell time with the precision only a mechanical watch could offer, but built into a mobile communications device. This fine, hand-crafted phone is designed only for those with a most disposable income or a mammoth trust fund, priced at a cool $275,000. The Papillon Tourbillon may not feature an app market or a QWERTY keypad, but it is the phone for the luxury watch collector to add to their collection. That price may be silly, and we still prefer our trusty android smartphone, but we appreciate the craftsmanship of this beauty… [via watchismo and notcot]
