(54) Displaying watchstraps


(57) A watchstrap display stand assembly comprises a display stand, a plurality of first watchstrap halves mounted in a holder (3A) of the stand and a plurality of second watchstrap halves mounted in a holder (3B) of the stand. The watchstrap halves are arranged such that each of the first watchstrap halves is positioned in spaced relationship to a respective one of the second watchstrap halves in a manner similar to or substantially the same as when the watchstrap halves are fastened to a watch (W). Each first watchstrap half together with its respective second watchstrap half defines a pair of watchstrap halves for forming respective parts of the same watchstrap. A user can place a watch (W) in the gap between a pair of watchstrap halves and thereby see how the watch (W) looks with that pair of watchstrap halves.
