For folks with an iPhone, iOS Live Photos does this by recording 1.5 seconds before and after the picture as a short video, and allowing you to choose the key frame that shows as the still image.

I think watch winders are a novelty - they are desirable but are noisy and not necessary for most watches collectors.

If you have a watch that’s really annoying to set, like a perpetual date or moon phase, a winder can save you a lot of time - it’ll keep the Watch running, so you aren’t needing to jump through hoops if it stops. It makes it more likely that you’ll keep that watch in the rotation.

I only have one watch where winding is a PITA: a GMT where the date is changed by winding the hour hand through each date. I picked up a watch winder for it. The winder is too noisy to keep in my bedroom on the dresser where my watch box lives, so I don’t end up using it. If I leave the GMT on it, in another room, the result is the GMT gets worn even less - out of sight, out of mind.

Furthermore, regular automatic watches, with typical day/date complication at most, I find that I like the ritual of winding and setting the day. It feels intentional to me.

Ha, this was going to be my answer as well

Nice! I’d like to hear about the box as well!

I just bookmarked this other post that seems like it would answer your question.

Objectively, Less plastic waste. Subjectively, if you think this sort of set up is no better than a kcup, you are in the wrong place!

How much like the corne do you want it to be?

Like, one piece but with a small separation in the left/right sides?

Like a normal keyboard but split?

Some other thing entirely?

Also, how DIY do you want to get?
