January 26, 2012: Scientific Cellular Innovations, Ltd (SCI) has announced the first deliveries of the highly anticipated Ulysse Nardin Chairman phone to United States as well as other international locations. Only 1846 units of each style of Chairman are available in honour of Ulysse Nardin’s founding year.
In United States, the Chairman is available exclusively through the Ulysse Nardin boutiques in Boca Raton, FL and Aventura, FL, as well as East Coast Jewelry, the nation's top-selling purveyor of Ulysse Nardin timepieces with multiple locations in Southern Florida. The Chairman can be purchased throughout India at authorized Ulysse Nardin dealers. The phone will be shipped to additional locations worldwide during the first quarter of 2012, including the Czech Republic, Israel, Russia, Spain, the Caribbean, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Bulgaria and Romania. SCI anticipates that the smart phone will be available through numerous Ulysse Nardin boutiques around the globe by the end of 2012, in addition to select authorized Ulysse Nardin dealers.
As per the official release, SCI claims to have withheld the Chairman's official launch in order to ensure the delivery of the product with historical brand relevance.
To complement the hand-held masterpiece, SCI has also created a docking station which resembles the famed Ulysse Nardin Ship Chronometers. The lacquered wooden docking station is made up of over 260 hand assembled parts. The multifunctional docking station charges the battery, backs-up all data to an exterior USB and includes a pair of premium speakers which can be driven by most Bluetooth devices. The docking station is, infact, available for separate purchase, allowing for seamless use of the Chairman in multiple homes, offices and private yachts. The Chairman is hand-assembled and made of over 300 handmade parts fashioned from the finest materials.
