LeDIX Furtif – stealth power symbol
Significantly inspired by the stealth technology used in the most advanced aircraft, LeDIX Furtif by Celsius X VI II, the pioneer brand in the development of amazing mechanical mobile phones, is the very first mobile phone with a carbon fibre structure endowing it with sturdiness, lightness, a virile new total-black look, and an invisible shot of power and strength.
No less than 35 engineers, watchmakers and other artisans are involved in creating this mechanical mobile phone. LeDIX Furtif will be available as of May 2012 in three 8-piece limited editions featuring a choice of pink gold, platinum or black inserts.
It took Celsius X VI II no less than five years to create this luxury product, a process that involved multiple challenges:
– the creation of a unique time display mechanism featuring the world’s most off-centred flying tourbillon, protected by shock absorbers.
– elimination of any magnetic effects on the mechanism and especially on the balance-spring so as to ensure the highest possible accuracy.
– development of the Remontage Papillon, a patented system housed in the hinge of the object and providing the watch movement with an additional three hours’ power reserve with each opening.
– design of the most ergonomic interface serving to provide enhanced user friendliness by ensuring particularly intuitive use of the phone functions.
