The WatchWrist Watch Stand Review
Us Enthusiasts love our watch accessories. It seems that almost on a weekly basis some new supplement to our watch collecting adventure gets released. There’s even a thriving, and I mean THRIVING strap and modding community that loves to showcase their new creations. But one thing that can be a dime a dozen, and also that isn’t always the most talked about, is Watch Stands.
Yes, those clever showcases for your timepieces. Whether it’s a display winder or a single watch stand, we all love a good display for our fun little devices. And because watch stands are popular, it’s hard to get noticed because so much monotony endures with creating watch stands. In fact, so many stands are just a new material for the exact same design - a Pillow-esque roll fitted on a wood or marble (Insert Material Here) baseplate. So we often find ourselves less than enthusiastic about covering yet another watch stand.
However, one that we’ve become an incredibly big fan of recently is the WatchWrist Watch Stand. In fact, both Craig and I find ourselves keeping a healthy rotation of watches affixed to the stand. I’ve even displayed mine on my desk in various ways. So what is the WatchWrist Watch Stand? And why did it stand out to us?
Let’s start with Mikael Andersson, the creator of the WatchWrist Stand. The Swedish Designer and Engineer came up with the idea to create a 3D-printed watch stand to display his favorite watch. Since he has always had a love for Geometric aesthetics and a penchant for 3D Printing, he combined both of them to create a really unique way to display watches. He brought this to Watch Fever - A Swedish watch forum and it was immediately met with high praise. I mean, it’s simply a really cool product.
The stand itself feels really nice. The wood base is solid and it holds the single rod holding up the stand really firmly. There is no sway, twist, or wobble - Which can often be the case for elongated watch stands on a single rod.
The 3D-Printed composite material is thick enough to not worry about snapping or cracking when adding your watch, though I will say, especially for my smaller wrists, I had to pay attention to how tight I had my bracelets with fold-over clasps, because the extra fold requires more space, and it made it difficult to snap down without putting serious pressure on the bottom of the stand. It wasn’t the Stand’s fault, but especially on some of those more micro-brand default style fold-over clasps, I was worried about scratching up the bottom of the wrist.
The stand comes in two colors - “Dusk” and “Dawn” - Or black and white. It’s a simple geometric design, so at least initially, the black and white work really well for the stand. They do offer a “Bespoke” package for those looking to do their own colors or designs. Because of the 3D-printed nature of the stand, this is a simple no-brainer option for the brand.
The last unique feature I found that really shows attention to detail is the shape of the wooden base. Because it has a flat base and it lines up with the flat edge of the hand, you can utilize it one of two ways - Either laying down horizontally or if you choose, placing the stand vertically. I find myself using both options depending on where I plate the stand. If it’s on my nightstand, then I’m pressed for space and place the stand upright. If it’s on my desk, I can lay it down. It doesn’t seem such a big deal, but I found it a smart design feature that I don’t see too often in this space.
Overall, Mikael has come up with a really fun, and really unique Watch Stand that quickly became my favorite piece of accessory to display my watches. It’s a quirky little piece of art that’s also functionally sound. If the WatchWrist Watch Stand is something you’re interested in looking at, you can check them out here.
