<\/a>The phone features a fully functional SIG-RM1208 Geiger-M\u00fcller counter built into the back to monitor real-time radiation levels.<\/p>\n

Caviar has launched the “Geiger,” a customized iPhone 17 Pro featuring a fully functional, built-in SIG-RM1208 Geiger-M\u00fcller radiation counter. Priced from $13,130, the device replaces Apple\u2019s standard glass back with a rugged titanium shell that houses both a digital radiation monitor and an analog watch face driven by a Swiss Ronda 763 movement.<\/p>\n

Caviar<\/a> has launched<\/a> the “Geiger,” a custom iPhone 17 Pro<\/a> featuring a fully functional built-in Geiger counter. The luxury modification company embedded a physical SIG-RM1208 dosimeter watch into the back of the device, allowing users to monitor gamma radiation levels in their immediate environment. <\/p>\n

Priced starting at $13,130 for the base 256GB iPhone 17 Pro, the Geiger replaces Apple’s standard glass back with a heavy-duty titanium shell. The design draws heavy inspiration from high-precision industrial equipment, using exposed screws, thick metal panels, and a red indicator line running down the center axis. A sculpted radiation hazard symbol sits near the bottom of the case, directly indicating the purpose of the built-in module.<\/p>\n

\tApple’s standard glass back is replaced with a rugged titanium shell that also houses an analog watch with a Swiss Ronda 763 movement.Production is highly exclusive and strictly limited to just seven units worldwide.<\/p>\n

The central watch module is a legitimate Geiger-M\u00fcller counter rather than a software trick or companion app. It features a small digital screen that displays real-time radiation readings and can be configured to sound a warning beep if radiation exceeds a preset threshold. Surrounding the digital readout is a traditional analog watch face, driven by a Swiss Ronda 763 quartz movement to track the time. <\/p>\n

The integration of a physical watch mechanism and heavy titanium casing adds significant bulk, making the customized smartphone noticeably thicker and heavier than a standard iPhone. The Geiger is highly exclusive, with production strictly limited to seven total units. <\/p>\n

Each device will include its specific production number engraved on the chassis and ship with a personalized certificate of authenticity. Buyers can also opt for higher storage configurations or the larger iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/a> model at an increased cost.<\/p>\n
