Twelve South is making a new 2-in-1 wireless charger for Apple Watches and MagSafe iPhones, and it might just be one of the best designs I’ve seen in a magnetic charger.
The $129.95 Twelve South Butterfly consists of two aluminum-clad discs — one with a MagSafe charger, the other with an Apple Watch charger — tethered by a vegan leather strap. It uses magnets on all sides to allow the pucks to close up for travel or open back to back and form a kickstand or mini pedestal. If you stare at it long enough, you realize that it kind of looks like Apple’s discontinued MagSafe Duo charger if you cut away all the ugly floppy bits.

The Butterfly’s Apple Watch charger can lay flat or stick up.
