Watch Stand Prototype - What do you think?

[donerix]

Had to work with my carpenters today and when we got done early I played around with two pieces of teak wood and a drawer pull.
Here is the result.

I will make myself a dozen, but if people are interested I can make more.
It is quite practical, stable and affords easy handling of the mounted watch (unlike his flimsy plexi syblings):
This prototype is 1.5" wide, after the first feedback over at RG I have decided to make the final version 2" wide so there are no concerns about stability and add wooden plugs for the screw holes.
Tell me what you think

Shipping will be easy since the whole unit can fold down flat:

Looks very cool and functional at the same time, Donerix. How's the balance on the stand for heavier watches? Let me know what is the per unit cost. Thanks.

Looks great...what a good idea!

Figure out a way to link 3-6 together and put me down for 2 of them... I like it alot and it matches the finish on the headboard of my bed where I would put it.
VERY NICE.

I think a few of those would look pretty rad in my showroom

That's just awesome!!!

As for balance for bigger watches, it should not be a problem for any watch. The center of the watch's mass is directly centered over the base. The upright support being off to the side makes no difference from an Engineering perspective, as long as it's strong enough that it doesn't bend. And a drawer pull is definitely up to the load of any watch you could find.

Great job!!

Hmm. You work with wood?

Well the PAM 225 is pretty much as heavy as they come I would say.
But the next version will have a width of 2" to eliminate all concerns.
I hope to have one ready tomorrow and also some other wood types I could make them out.
Right now my price will be probably $35 for a set of three plus shipping.

morning bump to get some more feedback ....

Sign me up I'd be interested, and as said befor if there was a way to link 3 - 4 together that'd be even better.

Lets see how this develops

great idea ...

I'd be interested in a few of these. Would you post to the UK?

That's a very cool stand

 

[Breitlinglover]

Instead of linking the bases just make a 12 inch base and put 4-5 holders on it evenly spaced. It would have to be displayed lengthwise from front to back but with the angled display option it would look cool.

Nice Idea!

Should be no problem. From experience it will take about 2 weeks and cost around $10

Ok Pm me some details and I will buy a few
