The Vertu Signature S Design is the updated version of the Signature. Hand-built in England, the Signature Design S is the first phone to be assembled by a single craftsman - taking years to learn the necessary skills. Each handset is signed by the craftsman who created it. It has an OLED sapphire screen that takes more than two weeks to create in a 2000 degree Celsius furnace. Almost impossible to scratch, it must be cut, ground and polished with diamond tipped tools. The solid gold or platinum phones are stamped with the Vertu and Swiss Assay Office hallmark. The patented keypad contains 4.75 carats of solid ruby bearings - each cut and set in its exact place like a jewel. The ruby bearings slide on sapphire crystal surfaces that are aligned so that no part of the metal key touches the sapphire face of the phone. The result is no friction and no wear. The engineered battery cover release, inspired by vintage design is operated by a D-ring - extremely secure, yet easily released with the fingertips. Each surface of Signature S Design is polished in a process that takes two days just complete the ceramic pillow alone. All the sounds are taken from a piece of music composed for Vertu by Academy Award winning composer Dario Marianelli. The music was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra with all solo flute pieces played by Andrea Griminelli, one of the world's leading flautists.
