The TAG Heuer MERIDIIST is a beautifully engineered but hugely expensive luxury handset, the result of a collaboration between the famous chronograph manufacturer and ModeLabs, a French design house who have been behind a number of interesting bespoke designs in recent years.
As with the BELLPERRE and Motorola AURA, the MERIDIIST is more about engineering and craftmanship than technical gadgetry. A standard MERIDIIST comes with high-grade stainless steel, scrachproof display, a mechanical stainless steel keypad and the handset itself is hand polished and finished. The back plates come in a variety colors of leather.
On the top of the MERIDIIST is a secondary display, used for the showing time.
We may as well mention the price: the basic MERIDIIST with a stainless steel and rubber or leather backplate comes it at a cool €3400 or so. If you want alligator skin instead, then you are looking at €3900. If the polished steel is not your thing, you can add a "light diamond" finish with alligator skin for about €7500, or if you want a full diamond finish with white alligator, then that will set you back around €18000.
The MERIDIIST is certainly extremely expensive, but in fact it offers better value for money than a Nokia expensive phones.. and it is a much more practical handset to use every day.
Remember that we said you were paying for engineering and craftmanship? Try to remember that, because underneath the impressive exterior, the MERIDIIST is rather more modest. This is a tree-band GSM phone with GPRS data only - there is no support for 3G or even EDGE. The 1.9" 240 x 320 pixel display is small by modern standards, although remember that it also comes with a small 96 x 16 pixel panel on the top. On the back is a 1,3 megapixel camera controlled by a mechanical trigger which can also be used to capture video clips. Our MERIDIIST colors also comes with an MP3/AAC player and has a very reasonable 1GB of internal memory, but local PC connectivity is via a relatively slow USB 1.0 port. The MERIDIIST does support stereo Bluetooth or alternatively you can use a wired headset.
There's a WAP 2.0 browser, email client, voice recorder and a set of personal information management tools including a currency converter, world clock and PC synchronization. The MERIDIIST's software may not exactly make you go "wow", but it certainly seems practical enough.
Due to the high-quality construction, the MERIDIIST colors is a fairly weighty device at 125 grams, although it's a pocket-friendly 113 x 47 x 16mm.
So, why should you want one? Well, it is a fabulous looking device, it will certainly be very exclusive, the solid feature set means that it is a practical phone to actually use, it's better value than some another luxury mobile and in our view it is a really classic device.
Would we want one? Actually, yes. So if you are in the market for a super-premium handset, then we think the MERIDIIST will do the job.
