Ulysse Nardin Chairman phone

It's nice to see a bit of optimism in these days of economic desperation, and what could be more optimistic than the launch of an 18k gold mobile phone?

The Ulysse Nardin Chairman is the kind of flamboyant creation that restores your faith in capitalism. If there's a market for a mobile phone which has been produced to the exacting specifications of a luxury time piece, with all its intricacies and attention to detail, in some of the finest materials on the planet, then things really can't be all that bad.

In addition to all the usual features you would expect from a mobile phone such as internet access and a camera, the Chairman has a built-in rotor to help keep the battery charged, incorporates a 2.8" touch screen and has to be the first ever mobile phone to employ fingerprint recognition security.

The price of this piece of mobile craftsmanship? €12,500. Recession? What recession?
