Just over a year or so ago, a mate of mine – AG – told me about an invention he was making for the iWatch.
When he told me what it was – an iWatch holder/magnifying glass that doubled as a bedside clock – I admit I laughed. Not that it was a bad idea [though I wasn’t sure if it was a good one either] but that he had grandiosely called it an ‘invention’.
What a dick I was.
Apart from the fact he was making something that didn’t exist before, he was really passionate about it and deserved more of my support than any of my laughter.
Well he got his own back …
Zoom forward to now and the Nightwatch sits on my bedside table.
Sure it doesn’t have wifi or make you a cup of coffee in the morning, but it does charge your iWatch while turning it into a beside clock thanks to the brilliant way he’s manufactured the product to act as a screen magnifying glass.
Hell, it even turns the phone on automatically if you tap the top of the ‘clock’.
While I still find the word ‘invention’ rather amusing, the reality is there wasn’t another product like it till he made his, which mean it’s not only an invention – but more than anything I can ever lay claim to creating, bar ads and some terrible guitar solos on terrible 80/90 popstar songs.
So this post is a public apology and product recommendation all in one.
AG, it’s great and I hope you sell a bucketload of them.
You deserve to.
If you want one – you can get it here.
