The Jamie Hayon & iida 'Fusion' phone is the perfect smartphone for nostalgic timekeepers. Why? It is a smartphone with a design concept that implements a small analog clock so that time can always be heard, ticking away. This phone is ingenious as it provides all the functions of a regular smartphone while maintaining a sleek design that could battle the iPhone.
Furthermore, it increases its elegant appeal with the built-in clock that sits neatly at the upper left-hand corner of the phone and is big enough to display the time but not too big for the phone's overall design. With minimal buttons along the edges of the phone, the time-setting knobs needed for the clock do not make the phone look too complex either. One won't need to take their phone off standby to check the time anymore.
