Who makes stuff - watch stand

[Wattie]

NiCe isn’t it, white face and it’d be perfect

Here’s mine.
$65, Hong Kong Stanley Market.....got into a real nasty haggle situation over it. Nearly caused a riot between the locals and the Chinese bloke selling it. Think it’s calmed down now tho

I agree - I own a black face one already...

I believe Justin Trudeau has several of these.

Oops. I feel a law suit coming on. I’m so, so sorry!!

I feel discriminated that you've not apologised to me

I guess it would be nice to have a stand that you could put the watch on and the face was the right way up and facing you, so you could... well... tell the time! This would not be that hard folks, I may get bored in the garage and have a go at this, what d oyou think Alumnium or wood? Wood would be easier to hand make, while aluminium would be better if we were making a few.

Engine turned aluminium every time...

A mounted conrod with a piston at 90degrees to hold the watch - simples

Now that might have some interest....

Especially a Maserati piston, natch

A chap (ess? "he has a woman's hand") on Gumtree has a piston on his desk. Maybe a touch clumsy?
Whereas, the valves he's selling have an elegance - whether they could be incorporated???

problem is just one of these would not stay up with the weight of a watch on it, so you would need either more than one valve or a base to keep it upright.

Was thinking something along the lines of the first picture of the thread using the valve as the pillar.

I think this is exactly what the OP was looking for

Kind of like the first one posted, nice sleek design. Just don’t need any of the iPhone charging stuff that goes with it.

And yeah I know just ignore it blah blah.

I have a Alfa GT Piston & Conrod that swallowed a valve, will have to find it and see how it looks with a watch hanging from it.

Started me off now, another project I will likely lose interest in

 

[Ryandoc]

Haha you’ve started now you may as well keep going
