Ulysse Nardin is known throughout the watch world for quality timepieces and now also for a hybrid version of the smart phone. This phone is the most advanced phone on the market today technologically. Why? It is because it can be charged through kinetic energy just like watches can along with being charged electronically. However, this is not a phone for just anyone with prices ranging from $12,800 to an unbelievable $129,000 depending on which model you are thinking of. Let’s look into this interesting phone to learn more about it.

The Chairman is the first mobile phone to ever have a mechanical rotor, like that in watches, in it. This is added while keeping the design appealing. This component is what makes this smart phone a green choice if you can afford it. Like the automatic watches this phone gets power through the action of the rotor. The rotor provides kinetic energy to charge the battery that is built in to supplement its power supply.
