Vertu Ascent Ti mobile phone

Since its arrival into the constantly evolving world of mobile telecommunications 10 years ago, Vertu has been a brand to watch - the Signature was a mobile phone of distinction for those demanding style and substance.

Now, Vertu has launched the Ascent Ti, a phone whose precision engineering takes its cue from high performance cars. Built around a titanium chassis, the phone has been developed to withstand the demands of the modern day user, and with its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal face and ruby bearings under the keypad to ensure precise key press, the phone demonstrates just the sort meticulous attention to detail that we at Wallpaper* appreciate.

Conveniently, each Vertu owner also has access to a 24-hour concierge service, accessible from virtually anywhere in the world, making this phone the perfect travelling companion. Just don’t forget to take your charger.
