Cell phone chargers begone! Exiled by the might of kinetic energy and a big pocketbook. Renowned watchmaker Ulysse Nardin drifted off the reservation a bit (kind of like Porsche Designers do ALL THE TIME) and came up with a great idea for a cell-phone. Great for those who like to keep their phone in their pocket and do a lot of walking, the Ulysse Nardin Chairman cell phone charges itself much like your Ulysse Nardin watch, by movement.

I hate to say that this is cool because unlike a Ulysse Nardin watch, this will quickly become obsolete with advancing cell phone technology- but for right now, it is pretty darn cool. Here is why it will soon become a relic:

• 2.8″ multi-touch screen
• Fingerprint reader for owner identification and phone lock
• Numeric keys with high quality tactile response
• E-mail and Internet application
• 5 megapixel camera
• Wi-Fi for network connection
• Sapphire Glass
• Kinetic rotor system
