Vertu Ascent mobile phone ranks with a fine necklace or expensive watch as probably the most decadent gift you can bestow on your loved one. The undisputed Ferrari in its class, the phone ($3850) comes with a button connecting you to your own concierge to organise your social life.
The Vertu Ascent's design is characterised by accelerated lines and form, inspired by high-performance luxury cars. It has been developed to complement the Vertu Signature Collection, and introduce the Vertu experience to a wider audience. The design of the Vertu Ascent is a unique contrast of hard-wearing materials - stainless steel, ceramic, sapphire crystal and Liquidmetal alloy - and hand-stitched brown and black leather.
Precision-engineered stainless steel keys, set on jewelled bearings create a unique pivoting action each time the key is pressed. The custom-developed liquid metal alloy featured in the design of the Vertu Ascent promises exceptional durability and scratch-resistance. This is the first time this unique material has been used in a mobile communications product. Other liquid metal alloys are used in high performance industries such as sporting and aerospace.
The coolest feature of the phone, however, is its discreetly positioned side key that allows you to connect to the Vertu Concierge service. This team of specialist global advisers is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in over 170 countries worldwide and provides the best travel, entertainment and international assistance at the touch of a button. The phone is available in a range of colours, should you care about such trivialities.
