This is what I use. Took 3 months to get but I love it. Plenty of room for 5. I tried 6 but that was pushing it it.

I've seen ads for the same one or something very similar in my Instagram feed. I remember thinking it was very attractive, then clicking through and discovering it was more expensive than I was willing to pay. That's not to say it isn't a well-made product (I have no idea), but I'm not willing to spend real money just to have a classier place to stick the watch I'm wearing this week.

I can see someone knocking the watch off the stand and hits the marble base. Cracking the watch crystal.

Is anyone using a cloth-trimmed tray by your bedside?

Love the elevated stands but I'd also be super worried of knocking the watch off one day while trying to snooze my alarm.

The stand you show is nice but seems quite large/bulky. If you hit it the watch will fly away. If you are in a hurry and put on the watch carelessly it could hit the marble base and gold parts can get damaged. Therefore: beautiful but not very practical. I've used my Rolex boxes and cushions for a long time.

Someone here (thanks for inspiration whoever you are) occasionally posts this panda one which I’ve just ordered from Aliexpress.

I like Boater’s as well...

These are the stands I use; good enough for Boaters (two posts up) and for AD’s, they are good enough for me.

I use the clips that hold the watch horizontally rather than vertically when I put my watch away for the evening; the watch speeds up overnight horizontally and thus has a +/- of 1 second/day(s).

Most watch stands offer a level of impracticality and or downright precarious balancing act.

I just came across this option that imho resolves both of those concerns while also adding some storage.

Forgive me father for I have sinned, it’s been 33 years that I have been using winders and not stands. I’ve never had one break and no it’s not like leaving a car running.

I have travel watch rolls every various sizes: 1 watch, 2 watch, 3, watch, 4 watch. I always just take it off and put it in one of the watch rolls.
