Caviar, a site known for creating extravagant, expensive replacement casings for Apple's iPhone models, today announced the launch of its latest custom creation, an iPhone XS with a built-in skeleton watch.
The Grand Complications Skeleton collection, inspired by luxury watches, features iPhone XS and XS Max models in titanium, pink gold, and black and gold, all of which have mechanical watch components included right in the casing.
The front of the iPhone has been left untouched, but the back features a mechanical watch with an accurate Swiss watch mechanism complemented by intricate guilloche work and matching engravings.
According to Caviar, the watch built into the customized iPhones is wound manually through a crown that's included on the right side of the casing.
Caviar is limiting the Grand Complications Skeleton iPhones to 99 pieces in each colorway, with each iPhone numbered via an engraving on the side of the device.
More details on the new Grand Complications Skeleton collection can be found on Caviar's website. The new iPhones are priced starting at $6,320 for a 64GB titanium iPhone XS model and go up to $8,080 for a black and gold iPhone XS Max with 512GB storage.
Caviar also sells a range of other customized luxury iPhones made from unique materials and with intricate designs.

What a load of cak. So this is a solution to isolation and loneliness is it. Arse.
There are very rich people who hold on to wealth and pass it down through the generations. Then there are the wealthy you read about who somehow blew it all. My guess is those who buy stuff like this belong to the latter.

Ha! I do dig custom cases. I have one with my own ambigram artwork printed on it.
Though I am not sure if this can be classified as "custom". Limited edition, yes. But they have produced 300 of these pieces and you have to buy them as they are... can't customize it... can you.
[doublepost=1539843581][/doublepost]I am also curious about the business model of this company. Do they advertise themselves, because that seems silly way to sell a 6000 dollar case?

If they went with Chinese mechanics they'd have an equally useful phone back for well under $100.
Why are they even offering a 64GB version of these? That is the biggest p*ss take. Why would anyone want to spend $6000 on a phone and only get the base model? The craftsmanship and effort on all storage models will be the same, are the price increases between each storage level at the same increments as Apple ie a few hundred dollars, if not then they are even more greedy than Apple!
$6000 for a case? Don't give Tim ideas.

To be fair, it's the perfect case to go with the iPhone Excess.

I‘m not sure that it even needs to be dropped. I can imagine putting it in your pocket and pulling it out again might be enough to destroy it.
For those who can’t quite afford the red sports car (or doll head “hair system”), there’s no better way to announce to the planet that you’ve got a 2” wang. And what neckbeard wouldn’t gladly lay out $6,000 for the perfect finishing touch to their I’m-never-getting-laid steampunk cosplay get-up (a person can only own so many Joker and Boba Fett figurines, after all)? The market for this thing is wide open!
Very flash. But how does one instagram one’s self holding one’s phone in the driver’s seat of one’s BMW?
One is going to need two phones

My favorite (LMAO) is the Putin case hahaha:

This company seems to have a heavy Russian influence in their designs. Interesting
