A wristwatch is such an attribute nowadays. Except for a watch itself, every single portable gadget tends to aid its users with information on time, date, weather, etc. In this turmoil old-fashioned watch is kind of lost and seems irrelevant and useless to many people, especially young people, who choose to not have a watch at all. That puts one of the most important devices of our fathers in danger of extinction. This might be the reason why Ulysse Nardin, worldwide popular wristwatch manufacturer, has decided to apply some of their technologies to bright future mobile phones, notably a kinetic winder.Kinetic winder as a great thing really. It is a mechanism that allows wristwatch to work even without a battery in it. Inside of it there is a pendulum that spins as your hand moves through the day and develops amount of energy enough for the watch to work. This mechanism was put into a mobile phone by Ulysse Nardin together with SCI Innovations and the concept will be presented at Baselworld 2009 under name "Chairman". Chairman smartphone will also feature sophisticated designer's work and handmade quality - aspect guaranteed by Ulysse Nardin specialists.
Colaboration between Ulysse Nardin and SCI Innovations isn't just an attempt to sell a glamorous smartphone with a flavor of innovation and carbon fiber and gold body. They are actually going to share this technology as it is eco friendlier than what we have. They don't say anything about specs and will the winder charge the smartphone all along or it will be secondary power source. Let's wait till Baselworld 2009 to see then.
