Turn your Apple Watch into a tiny classic Macintosh with this charging stand

Accessory maker Elago is now producing an Apple Watch stand that melds function with adorable style by turning the wearable into a dollhouse-sized version of the classic Macintosh.

The accessory is available for both the Apple Watch Series 1 and 2 including 38mm and 42mm versions and works by holding the circular wireless charging puck just behind the watch, which slots in from the top, while the cord runs through the middle and out the back. It’s available for $15 USD, though with shipping that comes to at least $26.19 USD.

This design is not completely new, however. It first appeared on the open source 3D printing template platform Thingiverse in 2015, providing those with access to a 3D printer the opportunity to create their own mini Macintosh.

It’s unclear whether or not Elago collaborated with the maker, option8. For those who would like make sure the original maker receives their fair dues, the 3D printed version of the charging stand is also available on Shapeways and Etsy for $35.58 CAD and $81.02 CAD respectively.
