A Sporting Chance for Peace

The Largest, Simultaneous Arts Unveiling Ceremonies in History
to Promote Personal & Social Peace. 




Mission

1. To elevate this Global Peace Initiative into a universal movement.
2. To encourage artists worldwide to hold themselves accountable for the messages they promote through their works to present and future generations.
3. To create economic empowerment through art that will support humanitarian efforts throughout the world.
4. To position wholesome artistic creativity as a vehicle to promote inner peace in order to achieve world peace.



Three Years In The Making
I have spent the last three and a half years creating the flagship sculpture for this Global Peace Initiative, titled 'A Sporting Chance for Peace' (ASCFP).  It addresses real life issues relevant to all people and promotes principles that are taught through sports such as respect, discipline, patience, forgiveness and healing.

NEW PROJECT JOINS THE CROWD!

 
Apple Watch will be available in early 2015 and we've designed a charging solution that compliments your watch and provides flexibility in how you display it.  


 
WatchDock can be placed on a desk, nightstand, or any counter surface.  The WatchDock rotates to allow viewing of Apple Watch at any angle.  Remove the pedestal base and plug the WatchDock directly into a wall outlet.
 

WatchDock uses the existing Apple USB plug to provide power to the inductive  recharging disc that magnetically connects to the Apple Watch. 
 
In desktop usage, the cord exits the base and
allows you to run the USB plug to the desired outlet. 


For wall mount charging, remove the pedestal
base from the WatchDock


Any excess USB cord is stored in the housing.
The USB plug securely snaps into the pivot arm.

WatchDock can now be plugged into any wall outlet.

WatchDock is now charging your Apple Watch!

Who We Are

We are the WatchDock team. David Hernandez, Jim Ferguson and David Jackson are Industrial Designers with a combined 45 years of experience designing, developing and productizing ideas.  Each of us work with companies that take product concepts from a loose sketch all the way through manufacturing.  We each have different areas where we excel and when we work together, there really couldn't be a better team of creative and experienced product design professions to make WatchDock a reality.  Read below to learn a little more about us. Check out www.WatchDock.Rocks to get the latest!

Project Schedule

We have provide a realistic timeline to ensure WatchDock is available shorty after the release of Apple Watch in early 2015.

Risks and Challenges

With every product development effort there are unforeseen issues to circumnavigate along the way.  We are speculating that Apple Watch will need accessories like WatchDock and we want it to arrive when Apple Watch does.

The WatchDock Team has over 45 combined years in product design, development and manufacturing.  We have tried and true relationships with manufactures around the globe.  For this project, we will be working with a manufacturer that has been a partner on many projects over the last 5 years. Together we have produced hundreds of thousands of parts and assembled these into actual consumer products that are sold in some of the nations largest retailers.  Our manufacturer will be injection molding all of the plastic parts, providing final assembly and packaging of the finished product.  Our manufacturing partner has a great track record of managing the QA/QC process to ensure you receive high quality finished goods.  We also have a great partner in Atlanta, GA who manages all of the warehousing, distribution and logistics for the products that we currently manufacture.  We plan to use our local partner to help with the fulfillment of the WatchDock once production is complete.
In order to do this, we need your help.  We would like to raise enough funds to help us procure production tooling.  While Apple has yet to confirm their ship dates, the Apple Watch will no doubt debut in a BIG way.  When Apple gambles on a new product they produce an immense volume of inventory. We can't be certain of the accessories Apple is planning, nor can we accurately determine their dimensional specifications, but we have made adaptations and allowances to make quick changes as we learn more.

How You Can Help

Simply chose a WatchDock Perk...  We don't want to offer stickers or shout-outs, we want to send you a useful product at a reasonable price point.  When we hit our funding goal, we can start production and verify a window for delivery. Apple expects Apple Watch to sell an initial 25 Million or more units in 2015, we just need a little more than a 1,000 Backers to get us going. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
