TAG Heuer releases its special edition Meridiist Sapphire 1860 mobile phone (Only 1,860 pieces)

Luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer continues to extend its expertise in timepieces with a new line of high-end luxury mobile phones, which we know will tell time brilliantly.

The company has been making watches since 1860 and only got into the phone game in 2008 with the Meridiist luxury phone collection. Combining its expertise in both, it brings together the TAG Heuer Meridiist Sapphire Special Edition 1860.

The new phone differs from the rest of the Meridiist line by the 93.9-karat sapphire crystal that extends from the display screen to the keypad base, with backlit, bevel-cut chamfer numbers.

Its back is trimmed in alligator skin in black, brown or grey with matching stitching and antenna cover, with the case finished in 316L stainless steel in satin-brushed, mirror-polished or fine perlage finish. A fourth model is offered in dark blue alligator with a bright blue PVD finish, a fifth with white alligator and 130 pavé diamonds, and a sixth in black alligator and rose gold trim.

Only 1,860 pieces of this special edition will be made, split between their six different finishes. While there is no say on the pricing yet, the existing Meridiist starts at around $5,400 so you can expect the new TAG Heuer Meridiist Sapphire Special Edition 1860 to start at a considerable premium.
