I hired an old gentleman.
Every morning it is nice to see him handing me the watch :)

Very cool! Thanks for introducing us to your new employee. I've never seen a person like that for hire before. Is watch servant his real job position? Or, was he originally "trained" for some other purpose? What do I search for on Amazon or other sites? I think I might like to hire such a fellow too!

That is super cool! Not sure if it's made for that purpose, but it seems perfect for the job. Can you include a link so we can find it?

Just search ‘old man watch stand’ I found mine that way in Amazon.

This oldman is called "Motif" by Seto Craft, a Japanese company. There are lots of fake ones out there for cheaper prices. The real ones cost around 25-35 dollars.

On Amazon or eBay, search for Motif by Seto Craft. Please look carefully since there are lots of fake ones out there. Fakes ones are smaller, less durable and paint finish is glossy unlike the real ones and horribly done.

You can place not only watches, but other jewelries such as rings and earrings.

Thanks mate. Found it. I'm loving your Explorer in your Avatar. All these fancy new watches and I am lately feeling the pull towards the humble Explorer.

Thanks guys! Thanks for the specific info too bakaneul. I had no idea that there would be fakes. My watches are nice, so I want a nice "servant" too. $25-35 is a small price to pay for a loyal "employee", so I might as well go with a genuine one.

Well......I'm off to review some job applicants!
