Caviar, the Russian company specializing in the modification of smartphones for the ultra-rich (at least those who want to show it off), has unveiled its bling-bling version of the Apple Vision Pro.
Do you remember the Russian equipment manufacturer Caviar? Well he still raged. At the origin of its own versions of the iPhone 14 Pro, but also of cases for iPhone and Apple Watch, of modified versions of the latest Samsung flagships, or even of solid gold scooters, the company has engaged in a customization exercise dedicated this time… to the Apple Vision Pro.
Under the direction of Caviar, Apple’s mixed reality headset swaps the sobriety of aluminum and glass for a 1.5 kg solid 18-carat gold shell… even if it means making the whole thing hellish to wear. Fortunately, the solid gold visor, which can be straightened, can also be removed to make this bling-bling version of the helmet a little less heavy and restrictive in use.
$40,000 and only a handful of copies
Caviar says anyway to have been inspired by Tom Ford glasses and a Gucci ski goggle to come up with the design of “her» VisionPro. The rear headband of the helmet is for its part in Connolly leather, known in the automotive world and “renowned for its refined and long-lasting properties, which add an extra touch of sophistication“Explains SparrowNews, visibly very excited. The patterns affixed to the leather vaguely evoke the style of Louis Vuitton leather goods.

Announced at 40,000 dollars, this modified Vision Pro will however not arrive on the market for more than a year. Caviar must indeed wait for Apple to launch its headphones (expected in early 2024), before being able to buy 24 copies which will then have to be modified one by one thereafter. These 24 units will be the only ones on the market, which will make this product one of the rarest tech items in the world. It remains to be seen whether he will also be one of the most sought after.
