Canadian luxury end handset manufacturer, Mobiado has shown off its latest concept phone - this time with a case made from a solid piece of marble stone.
The CPT001 is made from one piece of solid marble with gold filled engraved letters and details. The touch screen is made from a single large piece of sapphire. The buttons and watch crown are made from solid gold, with a gold skeleton mechanical watch movement placed between the Call and End buttons.
As the company puts it: "The use of marble is an ode to grand marble statues of the renaissance era," adding that "the purpose of a concept is to push the boundaries of invention, allowing concept ideas to be identified for future production designs. Mobiado's passion for the avant-garde is an essential element of its DNA and history, and the driving force of its R&D strategy."
No details of prices or potential availability were offered for the concept.
