Because a really expensive thing needs to become even more expensive and you’ve got a spare $40,000 torching a hole in your pocket.
That being said, a customizer has drawn up specifications to outfit Apple’s upcoming Apple Vision Pro headset, which will retail for $3,500 upon its release, with gold trim and a leather head mount that will sell for $40,000.
The Caviar company is hoping that 24 people will purchase the 24 custom headsets it plans to create for its limited edition.
“Drawing inspiration from the finest fashion accessories, such as Tom Ford’s flip-up glasses and Gucci ski masks, [Caviar] has transformed the Apple Vision Pro into a pinnacle of both technology and style,” says the firm in a press release. “This visionary device not only offers advanced features but also stands as a work of art, seamlessly blending into your personal space.”
The press release also cites that it will use “Connolly leather, renowned for its delicate yet durable nature. This legendary leather, supplied to the British Royal Court and Rolls-Royce, guarantees an indulgent experience for the device’s owner.”
Caviar has also stated that its customozation will feature a flip-up cover that will allow them to control what is shown to the user’s eyes via the external display.
“With the Caviar version, users can now have complete control over their privacy, allowing them to decide when to reveal themselves,” the company said.
The customization will most likely be available in the fall of 2024, months after Apple’s release of the Vision Pro.
Finally, Caviar has stated that it will include “more than 1.5 kilograms of 18K gold is needed to decorate the accessory.”
