Caviar Unveils ‘Masters of Time’ iPhone 17 Pro Max Collection Featuring Integrated Luxury Swiss Watch Vaults
Caviar has introduced the "Masters of Time" collection for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, featuring a built-in mechanical vault to house luxury Swiss watches. With models including the 18-karat gold Celestial, prices range from USD 49,640 to over USD 215,360 . The custom devices allow for the seamless integration and removal of mechanical timepieces.
Luxury customisation firm Caviar has unveiled its latest project, the "Masters of Time" collection, which features heavily modified iPhone 17 Pro Max handsets designed to physically integrate high-end Swiss timepieces into their rear chassis. This unique design incorporates a mechanical quick-release mounting system, dubbed the "Watch Vault," allowing users to dock and undock compatible watches without the need for additional tools.
The collection targets an ultra-luxury demographic, blending traditional mechanical horology with modern smartphone technology. By utilising a specialised short-thread ring and a soft-lined internal cavity, Caviar ensures the watches are secured firmly while remaining protected from scratches during daily use. When the timepiece is removed to be worn on the wrist, the empty mounting slot can be covered by a decorative metal plate to maintain the handset's aesthetic integrity.

iPhone 17 Pro Max Luxury Design and Celestial Craftsmanship
The collection currently features two primary single-edition models, with the "Celestial" serving as the flagship piece. This version is built around a Patek Philippe Celestial watch and features a chassis constructed from 18-karat white gold, blue enamel, diamonds, and a segment of Muonionalusta meteorite.
A second model, the "Portugieser," is designed to house an IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Mystère Squelette. This handset incorporates white gold, intricate hand-engravings, and a selection of white diamonds and orange sapphires, curated to complement the watch's exposed tourbillon mechanism. Caviar has also indicated it can develop custom chassis options for existing Swiss watch owners with case diameters between 42mm and 44mm. iPhone 18 Pro Max Leaked Camera Upgrades, Expected Price and Specifications.

Given the use of precious metals and rare materials, the collection is priced for a highly exclusive market. The white gold Celestial model carries a price tag of USD 215,360, while a titanium-based version tailored for an Omega timepiece starts at USD 49,640. These devices represent a niche offering for collectors who wish to carry mechanical horology alongside their smartphone, despite the significant additional weight the mounting system adds to the handset.
