The 'STATIO' is a premium watch stand from 'Marked By Time.' This watch stand is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter with prices beginning at $25 USD for one stand. At launch, the watch stand is available in two colors: maple or walnut. However, while the watches resemble a wood finish, they are constructed out of a silicone-based material.
The STATIO receives its name from the Latin words for "watch" and "stand." This shows the company's long-standing commitment to quality and luxury. The STATIO itself allows for timepieces to be displayed in two main ways: wrapped around the base with the wrist strap closed, or sat balanced on the surface of the stand. The latter option is designed to allow smartwatch charging cables to route into the charging port without being obstructed.
This watch stand is 90mm x 90mm, with the base condensing into a 40mm surface.
