WATCH DISPLAY CASE


                                                        

This watch display case was designed for the watch that my father gifted me as a coming of age gift. As watches are commonly a man’s most special accessory, it is only fitting that a watch owner has an accompanying display case to match his timepiece.

I designed this watch case to be a display element that could be sat atop a nightstand. The case features a hinge that allows the cover of the stand to move forward or backwards 90 degrees. Both the cover and the actual stand element are 3D modeled and printed, while the wooden base is a series of lasercut plywood sheets. I finished the cover with leather and wooden verneer to match the leather strap of my watch. Lastly, I made a simple wooden box with a leather finished cover to house the display case.

Lasercutting and 3D Printing




The wooden body of the watch stand is constructed from eight lasercut wooden pieces, glued and clamped together to make a strong base with unique ridges. The sliding hatch cover is 3D printed, designed in SolidWorks and then brought into a Bambu Lab printer. 




Assembly & Panelling



After assembling my 3D printed and lasercut components, I brought in full grain leather and wooden verneer to lay over the hatch cover. I finished the wooden verneer with a wood stain and painted over the chipped parts of the lasercut wood.
