Hi,

Just had a little play about and made this.. Keeps the watch out of the way at night.

What do you guys think?

Neat.
I can see someone marketing something like that, maybe with wood or aluminum trim along the edges and suede lining where the watch lays. How is it connected to the wall?

I used a piece of metal I found in the garage, bent it into a bracket and screwed it to the wall. This was just a proof of concept to see if it works well and so far seems ok. I'll let you know if it's still attached in the morning lol. Didn't cost me anything - made from bits and pieces lying around the garage collecting dust...

I like the design, very simple concept. If there was a better way to attach it to a flat wall or desk other than screwing it in I think it would definitely be produced by a third party manufacturer, although there are quite a lot of third party stands already available.

Thanks

It could be attached to a piece of wood and used as a conventional stand lol. It's only one tiny screw at the back of the wardrobe so not so bad..

This was only meant to be a beta version but since it's working and looks ok I think I'll leave it lol

Nice, I'd like to see that "in-situ"

Can you take a photograph showing some of the room, and where it is too?
