(54) Display stands for watches


(57) A stand for a wristwatch comprises a generally planar resilient strip (2); a display panel (4) generally parallel to the plane of the strip (2); and means (6) connecting the display panel (4) to the strip (2) so that a slot (8) extends between the display panel (4) and a lower end of the strip (2) from an edge of the strip (2) at least halfway across the width of the strip (2). The stand can be moulded integrally in a generally flat configuration and be removed easily from a two part mould, even if letters or symbols are formed in relief on the display panel (4). The stand may include a prop (23) extending from the rear of the display panel (4) for supporting the stand; and means at the upper end of the resilient strip (2) for engaging the buckle of a wristwatch for displaying it in an alternative configuration.
