GoldVish Revolution luxury phone gets a mechanical watch

Swiss company GoldVish, maker of the ultra-expensive Le Million phone, introduced its latest luxury handset called the GoldVish Revolution at Baselworld 2009. The design for the dazzling, candybar-styled phone looks to be somewhat inspired by the very stylish Motorola Aura. The most fascinating part is that it combines a luxury cellphone and mechanical watch in one unit. The mechanical watch has been assembled by the award winning Swiss watchmaker Frederic Jouvenot. Jouvenot’s classic chronograph movement features column wheels, an automatic rewinding system and an inimitable patented face. From the head to toe, the Revolution is covered in 29-carats of VVS-1 graded diamonds and 18 carat pink and white gold. Only nine examples of the GoldVish Revolution will be made, with each costing €369,000 ($488,150). Looks like we are going to see more luxury phones with integrated mechanical watch movements.

Bugatti Veyron goes for the gold

No matter how much equipment is shoehorned into a cabin, or how much power an engine offers, there is always room for more. Bugatti has always earned appreciation for its limited edition, tuned Veyrons. We have seen the magnificent Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang, Bleu Centenaire and lately, the Linea Vincero. This time, it’s a gold version owned by someone in Kuwait and it’s as enticing as the other limited editions. The Gold Bugatti Veyron gets its juice from the 8.0 W16 64 V engine with four turbochargers. The best part is that it’s not just garage-only as it has been spotted on roads in Kuwait by media and the public. Superior in every sense, the Bugatti Veyron supercar is an undisputed classic and we’d love to see more and more experiments with the car.
