23 November, 2006
Gresso phone is made of excellent and rare material – African Blackwood. It’s hard to imagine, that the history of phone began 200 years ago. So old is the wood the phone is made of. Two identical phones do not exist, as well as in the nature there are no two identical trees.
Gresso presents its first collection of luxury mobile phones The Black Aura. The collection takes name of two materials used in phone design: African Blackwood and Aurum that means “Gold†in Latin. The Black Aura will come in three models – Blackwood, Blackwood Gold Edition, Gold.The first, Gresso Blackwood, is entirely made of African Blackwood.
Endowed with African Blackwood case, Gresso Blackwood Gold Edition is decorated with 18 Carat Pink Gold inserts.
Gresso Gold. Its distinctive signs: the front panel made of 18 Carat Pink Gold, as well as the back panel executed from Blackwood and decorated with Gold inserts.
The phone is only 10 mm thick. And at the same time it is very durable. This fact is explained by the exceptional stability of African Blackwood which is comparable to metals. Moreover, the Blackwood feels as cold as metal.
Sapphire anti-glare crystal glass frames the screen. The innovative flat keyboard has special scratch-resistant covering, that is conceded to diamond in durability, and patented by Gresso company. Figures and letters of the keyboard are cut out by the ultraprecise laser.
