Unlike conventional manufacturing methods where one device is passed down an assembly line, every Vertu phone is put together by one person alone at his or her workstation. Each craftsman is surrounded by a monitor plus trays of components (mainly screws, gems, bezels and fixtures), some of which are placed on a stack of motorized rotating trays. At the press of a foot pedal, not only does the computer show the next work instruction, but the rotating trays also offer the necessary parts for that step. Depending on the model, a Vertu phone can take two to three hours or up to a day to be fully assembled and polished.
