Ulysse Nardin and SCI Innovations have joined to create the world’s first hybrid-powered smart phone under the Ulysse Nardin brand. The Chairman features a functioning mechanical watch rotor that is also incorporated into its aesthetic design. Similar to an automatic watch that receives power from the force of a rotor, the watch battery can be charged through the kinetic energy of the moving rotor.


The Chairman is an open smart phone compatible with most GSM networks around the world. Built from the ground up with the C-Level executive in-mind, ease of use is a primary focus. The customized user-interface is easily navigated with a 2.8” touch-screen. The Chairman is an advanced smart phone that incorporates a highly specialized fingerprint recognition security feature, only permitting the specified owner access. The Chairman also features a 5 megapixel camera.

The Ulysse Nardin Chairman hybrid smart phone will be introduced at BaselWorld 2009 and will be available for purchase in the fall of 2009. The Chairman will be offered in solid gold, steel/gold and steel versions.
