Despite a growing demand for wearable technology, there's still a resonating segment of consumers who find retro tech to be appealing, which is something this Apple Watch Charger Stand replicates. Taking on the likeness of an Apple Macintosh computer, the Apple Watch stand transforms a charging smartwatch into the monitor on a classic piece of computer history.
Created and designed by Erich Styger, the Apple Watch Charger Stand is a 3D-printed product that the maker created to house the smartwatch and charge it simultaneously. When placed inside, the Apple Watch becomes the screen of the computer (in landscape mode).
As the fandom surrounding Apple remains strong, consumers are looking for ways to help express their admiration for the technology giant as Styger has done here.
