With Chinese New Year just three weeks away, Vertu celebrates the arrival of Year of the Dragon with the launch of their limited edition Signature Dragon Collection.
This limited edition series will feature a four-claw dragon, which is a 20-stage process and takes 1.5 days to complete. More than four highly skilled craftsmen are needed to craft the dragon on a single phone, taking a minimum of eight hours of hand-engraving just for the scales on the dragon’s body.
Available in stainless steel emerald, black stainless steel ruby and yellow gold diamond, the collection will feature the key design element of the four-claw dragon in silver or yellow gold on the handset’s battery cover and will also showcase the Chinese Dragon character in silver or yellow gold colour ink.
Each yellow gold dragon has to be shipped to Switzerland to receive the 725 Hallmark in the Assay Office, before it is returned to the jewellery workshop. After which, each phone is further enhanced with precious stones to add a luxurious touch to this limited collection.
In Singapore itself, sets of the limited edition Signature Dragon Black PVD Stainless Steel Ruby range are available, but prices are currently unavailable. For more information, please visit Vertu's website.
