Watch Pad & Quill transform a hunk of wood into an elegant Apple Watch stand

To design a charging stand for the timepiece of the future, Brian Holmes looked to the past.</p><p>
A few years ago, his grandmother gave him an old pocket watch that had once belonged to his long-deceased grandfather. He needed a way to show off the timepiece, and vaguely remembered seeing elegant, collapsible wooden stands made for this purpose.</p><p>
Scouring the Internet, he found and snapped up a couple of these stands, both about a century old yet in decent condition. One of them turned out to be a reasonably good fit for his grandfather’s pocket watch.</p><p>
Holmes runs Pad &amp; Quill (http://www.padandquill.com), a Minneapolis-based Apple accessory maker that is best known for iPhone (http://www.padandquill.com/cases-for-iphone.html) and iPad (http://www.padandquill.com/cases-for-ipad.html) cases consisting of wooden frames wrapped in fine book-like bindings. But the Apple Watch required a very different kind of accessory—and those pocket-watch stands became Holmes’s inspiration.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2927595/watch-pad-and-quill-transform-a-hunk-of-wood-into-an-elegant-apple-watch-stand.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
