Your iPhone Duo opens like a music box.

Wind the brass key, open the phone and a porcelain ballerina rises to dance to Satie.

The phone is the box

Close it, open it or lay it flat.

Every way you hold your iPhone Duo does something a real music box would do.

The closed lid with its marquetry rosette, brass key and engraved nameplate

Closed

Wind the brass key

The outer screen is the lid. Drag on it and every turn clicks like a real spring.

The open box with the mirrored lid above and the dancer below

Open

Lift the lid

The top half becomes the lid and its mirror. The bottom half is the box, where she rises and dances.

The Cylinder Cabinet with 6 brass cylinders

Flat

Pick a cylinder

Lay the phone flat and the Cylinder Cabinet opens. Tap one to change the tune.

The ballerina reflected in the mirror inside the lid

The lid

She dances in the lid's mirror.

The mirror is a true reflection, so it shifts as you fold the phone, just like tilting a real lid.

The brass cylinder and steel comb under glass

Inside

Watch every pin pluck the comb.

  • Built in 3D, down to the last steel tooth.
  • The music slows as the spring runs down.
  • Opening the lid lets the sound out. Closing it muffles it.
  • The light moves as you tilt your phone.
  • Tap the dancer for an extra twirl.

6 cylinders

Timeless tunes, one turn away.
