A couple of mockups of Tag Heuer's expected phone

Many mobile phone manufacturers have noticed that there are some people who are looking for a more special phone, even if the phone is just a re-make of a previous model and the only difference is color, branding and price tag.

That's why there are phones like the golden D&G RAZR V3, which is just a RAZR V3 anyway, but it's overpriced simply because a smaller number of users will consider buying it, therefore it will be more exclusive.

Noticing this, others have begun doing the same, and some time ago, according to rumors, a partnership was to be forged between Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer, division of the luxury goods company LVMH, and Modelabs, manufacturers of out of the ordinary mobile phones like the Elite Model Look cell.

The mobile phone that was to emerge from the Tag Heuer and Modelabs partnership was in fact expected to be made out of stainless steel and be in some way similar to Tag Heuer's watches. So, after analyzing the information provided (which is not very helpful, is it?) the people from Dial-a-Phone came up with a couple of mockups.

Now, when people were expecting the mobile phone to be in some way similar to one of Tag Heuer's watches, they didn't mean to say that the cell would look exactly like one.

And while there's probably no chance that the Tag Heuer phone will actually be a watch with a couple of phone capabilities, but even if the watch-phone in the photo is not real, it's fun to see it nonetheless.
