It’s an iPhone. It’s an Apple Watch. It’s, um, both. And it costs $21,050.

Yes, Caviar, the Russian company that gave us the golden Vladimir Putin iPhone, just dropped the Swiss Dreams Watchphone.

In case you’re wondering, that’s an iPhone XS Max covered in gold and decorated with a world map for some reason. Attached is an Apple Watch Series 4, with the added convenience of not being wearable. 

Imagine the kind of person who would buy this monstrosity. Can’t do it? That’s because no reasonable human being on Earth would purchase this thing for $1,000, let alone more than $20,000. An oligarch raised in a Gucci-lined platinum Bugatti would probably think it was a bit much. Read more…

Just when I thought I’ve seen it all. 

Caviar, the Russian luxury case company that brought us the Putin phone, has taken iPhone cases to the next level by launching a case that essentially turns the back of the iPhone XS or the XS Max into a ticking, mechanical watch. 

The Grand Complications Skeleton, as it’s called, is a heavily ornamented case that has a mechanical watch in the middle, complete with a winding crown that slightly protrudes from the side of the phone.

Obviously, this is an extremely blingy case that will appeal to a certain type of audience with deep pockets and a love for things that scream “money.” But it doesn’t appear to be just some shiny crap slapped on the back of an iPhone. The skeletonized movement — in the world of wrist watches, “skeletonized” means the inner parts of the watch are visible — is a modified ETA Unitas 6498-1, a well known watch movement that’s used by numerous high-end brands. In other words, that watch on the back of the case is the real deal by luxury watch standards.  Read more…
