The New York Times just reported the passing of Norman F. Ramsey, the physicist whose work led to the atomic clock. In the late forties, Dr Ramsey pioneered a method, now known as the Ramsey method, of measuring the osillations of atoms. And in 1967 Dr Ramsey invented the hydrogen maser atomic clock. For his work Dr Ramsey won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1989.

This is silly on so many levels but it is certainly spectacular; the coolest way to carry an iPhone no doubt. The De Bethune Dream Watch IV iPhone case is made of mirror polished titanium with a wandering hours pocket watch. 

Clearly inspired by the unique piece made for Only Watch 2011, the pocket watch face is made from blued titanium with gold and diamond stars. Earlier this year De Bethune unveiled something similar, but in alligator skin, this is worlds apart.  A perfect companion for the De Bethune Dream Watch 3 tourbillon or the new DB28T tourbillon. De Bethune made this as a tribute to Steve Jobs, and it is a 12 piece limited edition.

Update: The retail price will be about USD165,000.
