Rivoli launches new model from luxury mobile phone brand Vertu

The Vertu Ascent Collection has been developed to complement the Vertu Signature Collection, which was introduced last month in the UAE and Qatar by Rivoli, and this second stylistic expression is aimed at providing the Vertu experience to a wider audience.

Vertu Ascent's design is characterised by accelerated lines and form, and is inspired by high performance luxury vehicles. The sleek, streamlined and robust design of the Vertu Ascent Collection is a unique synthesis of hardwearing materials - stainless steel, ceramic, sapphire crystal and Liquidmetal® alloy - and seductively soft hand-stitched brown and black leather. Precision-engineered stainless steel keys are set on jewelled bearings to give a unique tactile experience and add to Vertu Ascent's dynamic design.

The custom-developed Liquidmetal alloy featured in the design of Vertu Ascent provides exceptional durability and scratch-resistance. This is the first time this unique material has been used in a personal communication product. Other Liquidmetal alloys are used in high performance industries such as sporting goods and aerospace.

Frank Nuovo, creative director and designer for Vertu says, "Inspired by the design aesthetic and materials of luxury sports cars, the Vertu Ascent Collection strikes a unique balance between hard metal and soft leather. I am delighted to bring this second stylistic expression to individuals who demand the best in everything they do."

The Ascent Collection by Vertu is designed and built to the same exacting standards of craftsmanship as Vertu's hallmark Signature Collection, and clients will also receive the exceptional personalised service for which Vertu is renowned: Vertu Concierge. Vertu Ascent has a discreetly positioned, dedicated side key allowing clients to connect to the Vertu Concierge service.
