This luxe charging stand powers your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time, in the same place. And boy does it look good doing it too.

It holds Apple Watch on its side, which automatically turns it into a bedside alarm clock, with the crown serving as a snooze button. To protect your watch, the base of HiRise Duet is thoughtfully lined with a soft layer of premium leather.
With 15-watts of Lightning Power, HiRise Duet charges your iPhone 40 percent faster than standard USB, and almost twice as fast as wireless. Duet also holds your iPhone upright so you can see and interact with your iPhone while charging.
Unlike plastic stands that get dragged across the nightstand from the weight of the power cord, the all metal HiRise Duet stays put. In the hand, this thing makes me think it was Colonel Mustard in the study with the HiRise Duet.
