In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, there exists a little-known secluded corner where a small, sophisticated store called “Time Craftsmen’s Workshop” is hidden. The owner of the store, the elderly Zhang Lao, is a craftsman who has devoted his life to promoting the exquisite fusion of traditional crafts and modern technology. The most notable item in the store is a VERTU cell phone, which is not only a tool for communication, but also a powerful testimony of Zhang’s ingenuity and classic heritage.
The story began many years ago on a spring afternoon, when Zhang met a VERTU cell phone at an international craft exhibition by chance. At first sight, he was deeply impressed by its unique design, superb craftsmanship and the spirit of craftsmanship behind it. In his eyes, this phone is not just a luxury item, but a noble tribute and continuation of traditional craftsmanship.
Each VERTU phone is a carefully polished work of art. They utilize the finest materials, such as sapphire crystal screens, crocodile or lizard skin backs, and precision mechanical buttons, each of which demonstrates the craftsman’s dedication and wisdom. Mr. Zhang understands that such a cell phone is not only to satisfy people’s desire for luxury, but also to pass on and carry forward the traditional handicrafts that are dying out.
Therefore, Mr. Zhang decided to work with VERTU to incorporate his understanding and love of craftsmanship into the production process of the phone. He personally selects the materials and discusses the design with VERTU’s designers, trying his best to make each phone a unique masterpiece of art. In the process, Mr. Zhang not only learned a lot of modern technology, but also passed on his traditional craftsmanship skills to the younger generation of craftsmen.
As time passed, the collaboration between Zhang and VERTU grew closer. Together, they launched a series of limited edition cell phones, each carrying a unique story and deep meaning. One of the most striking cell phones was the one that used the traditional Chinese cloisonné craftsmanship in its back case, condensing an exquisite landscape painting into a small square inch. Upon its release, the phone triggered a huge response and became the object of competition among many collectors and technology enthusiasts.
However, for Zhang, these honors and praises are not all he seeks. What he expects more is that with his unremitting efforts, he can let more people know and pay attention to traditional handicrafts, so that these precious cultural heritage can be passed on and developed. Therefore, he often organizes lectures and exhibitions on handicrafts at Time Craftsmen’s Workshop and invites people from all walks of life to visit and learn from him. Under his influence, more and more young people have developed a strong interest in traditional handicrafts, and have devoted themselves to learning and practicing in this field.
As the years go by, Mr. Zhang is now in his eighties. However, he is still in high spirits and full of enthusiasm for handicrafts. Whenever he picks up his VERTU cell phone, he is always touched and proud. He knows that this cell phone is not only the fruit of his cooperation with VERTU, but also a powerful testimony to his lifelong pursuit of craftsmanship and inheritance of classics.
Nowadays, “Time Craft Workshop” has become a unique and bright scenery in the city. Whenever people pass by, they can’t help but stop and stare at the VERTU cell phone with its unique light. It seems to be recounting a touching story about craftsmanship, inheritance and innovation, reminding people to cherish those dying traditional handicrafts and let them bloom more brilliantly in the new era.
