Gresso's $1 Million Phone: The Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot

Filed under: Gadgets

Gresso Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot Mobile Phone
Las Vegas is known for its over the top opulence and glamour and so it provided the perfect inspiration for Gresso's new super-luxe Luxor Collection of mobile phones. Drawing aesthetic influences from both ancient Egypt and modern Las Vegas the collection includes two phone models: the Luxor Las Vegas and the Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot. The Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot is the shining star of the duo and features a case made of 18k gold with a back panel of 200 yr old African Blackwood and rare black diamond embellishments. The keys are each made of a polished piece of sapphire with the symbols and numbers being applied via laser. Only 3 Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot phones will be made for $1,000,000 each.

The Luxor Las Vegas is similar in design but without the black diamonds and sapphire keys. It, however, is not a limited edition and is priced at only $20,000.

Gresso Mobile Phones
Being able to customize a cell phone is not a new idea, if you're talking Swarovski crystals or precious gems, but Gresso is now offering the ability to build your own phone from the case up. There are only 3 categories of options, the case, the keyboard, and the back panel, but among them more than 40 variations are possible. The end result is sleek, stylish, and sophisticated, plus there's also the option of having your name or an inscription engraved on the phone. Prices start at $2200.

Gresso Gets into the Race with Carbon-Fiber Grand Monaco

Filed under: Gadgets



Coming up a little short for the ten-grand Vertu Ascent Ti Carbon Fibre edition? Not to worry, the Russians have got you covered. Luxury electronics company Gresso has just come out with the Grand Monaco mobile phone, and it's jam-packed with racy goodness.

Named after the grand prix in the Mediterranean principality, the Grand Monaco features a case made out of titanium alloy, coated in black PVD in some places and in high-strength ceramics in others, with carbon fiber trim front and back. A sapphire crystal display prevents scratches, and the phone packs a 2-megapixel camera, GPRS and Bluetooth connectivity and more. But it'll cost you $2100, if you can get your hands on one.


Gresso's 'Lady Diamond' Phone

Filed under: Gadgets


I'm not one to usually be very impressed with jewel-studded cell phones, because even if they're pretty to look at they always seem so gaudy and impractical to actually use. But the design of this Lady Diamond phone by Gresso seems to have a nice balance of sleek common sense and indulgent luxury. Made in a limited edition of only 8 phones (seems like an odd number...) it's basically a red version of Gresso's Skeleton Gold model with 4 tiny diamonds on the center keys. It has the same 42K sapphire crystal display and transparent back as the Skeleton Gold, but the price is significantly higher at $5500.

The African Wood Pandora USB Flash Drive
Don't you wish that using your flash drive could be a classier aesthetic experience? I know the purpose of a flash drive is functionality, but as design experts all over the world know, absolutely anything can be made beautiful and more enjoyable to use.

Enter the Gresso with gorgeous flash drives, such as the above from the new Pandora Flash Drive Collection ($999.00 each). The example you see is made from African Red wood and silver. It's more than just a pretty face, too; the Pandora is the first luxury USB device to be equipped with a fingerprint scanning detector. That's not an LED sparkle you see there, though. That's a ruby.

Gresso AvantGarde Skeleton Phone

Filed under: Gadgets


Skeleton watches are very popular simply because it's fun to watch those tiny pieces in action safe behind a sapphire crystal. Gresso has created the Gresso Avantgarde Skeleton to give a similar experience to the cell phone. The limited edition phone is made of titanium alloy with a scratch-proof high-tech ceramic coverage. The 23 function keys and the triangle on the front panel are executed of aircraft steel. The sapphire glass on the back panel is decorated with the Gresso logo covered with 10 micron gold. The phone features Windows Mobile 6 Standard, 2 Gb memory, SMS/MMS/e-mail, Internet explorer, Outlook, WAP 2.0, GPRS, Bluetooth, USB-port, mini-USB, PC Synchronization, voice recorder, MP3-player, 2 MP camera.

Why do you need a skeleton window on a cell phone? That's the big mystery. I'm pretty sure there's not too much to see back there unless Gresso has developed some type of motorized circuitry. It sells for $5,000.

Filed under: Gadgets


The folks at Gresso have found a new way to sell music using on of their wood USB flash drives. They are now teaming up with music companies to release flash drives for specific albums. Their first offering is Jennifer Lopez's new album "Brave". The flash drive costs $70. Considering that Lopez is having enough trouble selling the album in its regular format this doesn't seem like the best choice for an initial offering.
