New way to display a Premier piece or grail watch

Recommended Posts

as many of you know i have always looked for better and better ways to display my watch collection. Also, as many of you know i have a new Growing pen collection. There are a few premiere pens that i'm going to be building, so i wanted to look for something cool other than the just the standard acrylic stand.

I found a really cool and financially reasonable solution. a cool glass dome with base, - originally ment for pocket watch displays. but you can clearly get a watch stand and put it under glass :)

looks like they go for 20-25 buckish on ebay

- lighting is a different issue, i might be looking at a flexible lighting tape make like a cool blue glow - but that is way off.

Here is the dome. - Unfortunately, i will need to wait till i have a job to really put this concept into full scale.

Oh very nice...would look awesome on a desk...better yet- a rotating base :)

Rotating base would beok,but it would make the light component killed.

Would anyone actually be interested in paying me to make one of these?

Basically you would have a neonish blue, red, green or other color lighting the wach from underneath but you wouldn' t seethe light source. of course in the dome and such it would reflect around some of the blue ( or other color) and it would be cool.

I think i can do it not very expensive maybe around 50 bucks for a battery operated light dome- ect ec. The plug in power source itself is like 35$ practically duoble the costs of the project.

interest?

Would be easier to drill small holes in the base for led's. Then you can hollow out part of the bottom with a router and install a battery holder for power. Whole thing would cost under $5 from Radio Shack. LED' are bright, small and easy to power. 2 to 4 AA batteries wired in series should do it.
