The ultra-futuristic Dream Watch IV is a new mobile case by De Bethune that pays homage to late [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-14-ultra-concept) CEO Steve Jobs.

The Dream Watch IV is one of the most refined, exquisite mobile covers that’s been created for [iPhone 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-4-concept) users. The cover is inspired by spaceships, which certainly shows in its refined futuristic look. The exterior is constructed from [beaded blasted titanium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mp17-meca10) which gives it that ultra slick design. De Bethune has integrated a pocket watch on the back that has a beautiful blue titanium finish with diamonds and 18k white gold that adds a posh element.

De Bethune’s Dream Watch IV is an extremely limited piece. Only 12 have been made, so I’d start searching now if you want one for yourself.
