The Russian company Caviar, specializing in creating luxurious customized smartphones and other electronics, has announced the update of the iPhone 15 Pro Pair of Kings collection. Three unique versions of the smartphone have been introduced, inspired by the aesthetics of the famous Swiss watch brand Richard Mille.

"I am impressed by the boldness of the Richard Mille team in embodying revolutionary ideas. They achieved what no one else could - in 20 years, they conquered the luxury watch market and opened new horizons with their exceptional craftsmanship. Caviar also creates intricate designs that are unavailable to other brands. Therefore, I decided that owners of Richard Mille watches should have worthy smartphones to accompany them," said Caviar's founder Sergey Kitov.

In developing the new models, the Caviar team drew inspiration from iconic Richard Mille watch models such as RM 66 Flying Tourbillon, RM 35-01 Rafael Nadal, and RM 30-01, with prices ranging from $27,000 to $110,000. These watches gained fame for their unconventional design without a traditional dial and complex mechanisms, and Caviar's designers sought to translate these elements into the smartphone's body.

The flagship model is the iPhone 15 Pro Max Rebel, featuring a relief of a skeletonized hand made from a solid ingot of 18-carat gold on its body. This smartphone version was modeled after the RM 66 Flying Tourbillon watch. The golden hand envelops the watch mechanism, forming the symbol of Devil’s Horns. Caviar plans to create only 20 of these smartphones, precisely matching the number of owners of the RM 66 Flying Tourbillon watches. One of the 20 released RM 66 Flying Tourbillon watches costs $1 million, and Caviar intends to produce one iPhone of this model for each watch owner.

Another novelty is the Champion model, designed to complement the RM 35-01 watches created in collaboration with Rafael Nadal. The third model is called Mastermind, with its design inspired by the RM 30-01 watches with a case made of rose gold. Caviar used almost the same materials, adorning the iPhone 15 with rose gold, lightweight titanium, and forged carbon.

This Caviar-made iPhone 15 Pro can be purchased for around $6,200, and the most expensive model will cost $22,000.
