For longtime Apple fans—or anyone with fond memories of translucent plastic tech—Spigen’s latest accessory is a delightful blast from the past. The company has expanded its C1 lineup with a new Apple Watch charger stand that pays tribute to the unmistakable iMac G3, one of the most iconic designs in Apple history.
This isn’t just a colorful case or themed charging pad. Spigen’s new stand is a miniaturized, cheekily faithful rendition of the original iMac G3, complete with semi-transparent plastic shell, rounded contours, and four nostalgia-drenched color options: Bondi Blue, Graphite, Ruby, and Tangerine. It looks like something straight out of a 1999 Apple Store window—except now it holds your Apple Watch instead of a CRT display.
Functionally, it’s fairly simple: the stand lets you thread your existing Apple Watch charging puck through the back and cradle the watch face-forward at an angle, making it easy to glance at the time or notifications while it juices up. It’s part charger, part desk ornament, and part conversation starter for anyone who remembers the era of “Think Different.”
The stand uses a mix of durable PC and silicone, offering a premium feel despite its playful aesthetic. And while Spigen touts ergonomic viewing angles and material quality, let’s be honest—the real appeal here is tapping into that deep well of tech nostalgia. It’s a tiny homage to Jony Ive’s candy-colored computer, and it might just be the most endearing way to charge your Apple Watch in 2025.
Spigen’s C1 Apple Watch Charger Stand is available now for $19.99 with Prime shipping via Amazon. For anyone who grew up on dial-up, played Marathon on an old Mac, or just misses the era when computers looked like toys, it’s a charming little slice of retro-futurism that fits perfectly on your nightstand.
