Nomad’s Stand for Apple Watch could easily be mistaken for a futuristic tchotchke. But, this futuristic charging stand packs high function in its curvaceous form. This sleek Apple Watch stand fits perfectly with the modern simplicity that marks Apple’s aesthetic.

Our very own Nadine Kahney gives us a hands-on look at the Nomad Stand, available for purchase in Cult of Mac’s Watch Store. Check it out below.

Nomad takes its brand name to heart — the company’s ethos is all about owning fewer things, being resourceful and working hard. Creating minimalist, practical tools to keep us powered on the go is the core of the company’s product vision. Selecting the lightest, thinnest, strongest materials to suit its designs, Nomad’s Stand for Apple Watch is no exception.

This elegant Apple Watch charging stand is crafted from a solid piece of aircraft-grade aluminum into a unique curved shape. The precision-machined stand’s anodized finish helps preserve the natural luster, texture and beauty of the aluminum itself.

The stand’s base is infused with a solid chunk of copper for added heft. A small rubber pad affixed to the bottom ensures scratch-free and stable use.

The stand is very lightweight, yet feels super-solid and unbreakable. Simply pop the charging disc of your Apple Watch charging cable into the round cutout on the stand. A machined cable-routing channel is concealed on its backside, creating a stealthy passageway for your stock cable.

Place this minimalist, gorgeous charging stand on a nightstand or end table for a stylish and functional solution to juicing up your Apple Watch.

Price: $39.95–49.95
