The Twelve South HiRise Duet is a premium charging stand designed to simultaneously power an iPhone and Apple Watch from a single, elegant dock. Built with a weighted metal base and soft-touch finish, it brings a tidy, nightstand-friendly presence to any bedroom or office desk. The angled iPhone cradle and adjustable Watch arm let you position both devices for easy viewing of notifications, clock displays, or Nightstand mode, all while keeping cables completely hidden inside the base. Unlike bulky multi-device chargers, the HiRise Duet uses your existing Apple charging cables (Lightning or USB-C, and the Apple Watch puck), meaning you supply the cables and the stand organizes and elevates them beautifully. The Watch arm swivels for portrait or side-facing orientation, and the iPhone cradle accommodates most cases, so you don't need to strip your phone bare every night. The internal channel routing keeps everything snag-free and visually clean, a signature Twelve South design touch. Compact enough for a bedside table yet substantial enough not to tip or wobble, the HiRise Duet is aimed at users who want a single, sophisticated charging station rather than a tangle of pads and pucks. It's especially well-suited to Apple ecosystem users who already own Apple-certified cables and want a refined way to display and charge both devices overnight.

No more tangled cables next to my bed. The Duet looks great and holds my iPhone and Watch perfectly at night.
Great design, wish cables included — Elena R. (2023-11-02)
Love the build quality, but I had to buy an extra Watch charging puck since it isn't included. Otherwise fantastic.
Sturdy and stylish — Jake W. (2024-01-09)
The metal base feels substantial and doesn't wobble when I plug or unplug my phone. Cable routing is genius.
Works with my case — Priya S. (2023-12-20)
I was worried my thick case wouldn't fit the cradle, but it slid right in. Very happy with this purchase.
