A range of handmade luxury Android smartphones from Swiss firm Savelli were launched in Abu Dhabi by a luxury watch dealer Mohammed Rasool Khouri and Sons.
These luxury smartphones were first unveiled in Dubai last year in November. Savelli is a new jewellery brand owned by Alessandro Savelli and is based in Geneva.
The collection of 11 luxury Android smartphones, titled ‘Jardin Secret’, ranges from AED 30,600 (roughly Rs. 5.28 lakhs) to AED 386,617 (roughly Rs. 66.77 lakhs). The most expensive (priced at AED 386,617) among the 11 handsets is known as Black Insane, which has 75 rectangular baguette-cut diamonds set in an oval shaped crown on the top of the phone. The cheapest smartphone is named Blue Jean Ostrich, priced at AED 30,600.
“I wanted to create something totally new, never attempted before. A jewel of tomorrow, only for women. A design which would bring a new perspective on jewelry and in the luxury goods industry, an obsessive search for beautiful materials to work with. From Ultra-Bombe crystal sapphire to hi-tech ceramic.” He added: “We carefully select the best precious stones and set them using the ‘serti neige’ or ‘snow setting’ technique. Stones of differing diameters sit side-by-side, covering the precious metal to enhance the organic curves of each piece. Where baguette-cut stones are used, Savelli employs a seamless setting technique for an immaculate finish,” said (via Khaleej Times) Alessandro Savelli.
