If you are someone who likes to pimp their iPhone 5 to the max and enjoy adding sophisticated and stylish items to their smartphone, Bissol may have created you the ultimate accessory. Their designers and engineers have created a precision quartz driven timepiece that attaches seamlessly to your iPhone.

The Calibre 788 is constructed from anodised aluminium and being of the same materials as the iPhone 5, you know it has been built robustly and not only looks sleek but has been designed to last. Internally the timepiece features 5 jewels and uses a quartz moon phase movement to remain accurate and keep perfect time.

The design of the Calibre 788 has been done in such a way that when connected to the iPhone, the impression is given that the two separate pieces are of one solid construction. This is particularly emphasised by the same rounded corners seen on the smartphone and the black or white colored finish matching Apple’s design exactly.

Although no prices are available at the moment for this precision timepiece, we have to question why Bissol feel there is a need to add this quartz movement to an already time accurate smartphone? It simply seems that in a world obsessed with bling and accessories, manufacturers will conjure up new ideas and try to convince the general public it is something we all need. There is no denying the watch movement looks great and will certainly “out bling” any of your friends, but is it really something that will catch on?

Will you be rushing to attach the Bissol Calibre 788 to your iPhone and do you think the world is ready for this latest iPhone 5 accessory? We would love to hear your thoughts below.

The recent launch of the iPad 2 saw Apple bringing out a clever new design for the device with the Smart Cover. With this in mind will we see Apple do something similar with the iPhone 5? The new cover for the iPad 2 will probably sell by the bucket load, so Apple might want to cash in on the idea with the smartphone.

A good case or cover for a handset not only needs to protect it from life’s bumps and scrapes, but also to be practical. It’s no good having your handset protected by a case, but you can’t easily get to all the devices features.

Luckily many case manufacturers come up with clever designs which not only protect but can enhance the device. Bulk can also be an issue, if a cover is too big it can make a nice sleek handset look like a brick.

We will have to wait until June to see if Apple has anything special lined up for the new iPhone. Would you like to see something similar to the Smart Cover for the iPhone 5?
