Made with the finest materials
Designed by father & son, The Foxton Watch Stand is designed with using only the finest and most durable materials available. The top and bottom cushion pads are hand-crafted using Chamel® Selection, a high-quality suede effect fabrication. Specifically designed to protect your watches and jewellery against blemishes and scratches, these colourways are available in four colour variants; Charbon Black, Forest Green, Stone Grey and Marine Blue. All Foxton Watch Stands are manufactured from sustainably sourced Solid American Walnut & European Oak.
Timeless Elegance
Designer & creators, Jason & Daniel Stebbens explains:“Having previously owned a watch stand, the issue we found is that most available watch stands on the market cannot hold more than two watches. Having the ability to rotate various watches became difficult and therefore we designed a watch stand that could hold up four watches at Ø42mm. Our partners also needed to store a watch somewhere and the four watch stand became the perfect piece. We were conscious about creating a sustainably sourced product and therefore have the whole product including packaging produced within a 20-mile radius of our office in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom”. After one year of designing and prototyping, The Foxton Watch Stand was born.
Rugged & Sustainable Packaging
With sustainability in mind, The Foxton Watch Stand is packaged in FSC grade card and paper and biodegradable foam inserts. The packaging has been carefully developed to ensure that each product is safely delivered to each customer.
