While the rest of the sensible world goes about their daily business, sporting touchscreen handsets that are getting thinner and sleeker by the day, Tag Heuer will have the more well-heeled among us rocking their Tag Heuer Meridiist in uber luxury. Made from high-grade materials like Aluminum, Sapphire crystal, and crocodile or leather skins, the Tag Heuer Meridiist brings Swiss watch-precision to the mobile world.
Tag Heuer has pushed the Meridiist through the FCC’s halls, and that means the uber-lux handset is ready to play in the US.
Stuff.tv has had a chance to handle the newest mobile phone from the Swiss watchmaker, and they’ve expectedly come away with an appreciation for the incredible materials and build-quality of the Vertu-fighting Meridiist.
But, don’t let the ridiculous bulk fool you. The Tag Heuer Meridiist packs no more than the paltriest of spec-sheets in an age where mobile phones are rocking features like GPS, WiFi, touchscreens, and the like. Beneath an exterior that would have a 1990’s-era Zak Morris jealous lies a 2 megapixel camera, 1.9-inch QVGA display, OLED 96×76 pixel secondary display, MP3 player, Bluetooth, leather trim, and a metal 
casing.
The blockish Tag Heuer Meridiist apparently sports a ridiculous 7-hours of talk time, ensuring that jet-setters with a priority list that squeezes out up-to-date features and focuses on battery-life will have plenty of juice to chat up potential playmates or business partners.
The cost of admission in to the most exclusive of mobile phone clubs? £2650 ($5000+).
