The charger that comes with the Apple watch is not that fancy. It just (barely) sticks to the watch and charges it. If you want something as fancy as the Apple Watch itself to charge it, you want the LIFT charger. The inductive charger comes with a floating battery which charges the watch while it levitates above its base.
Since it has an internal battery, you can take that section with you on the go to charge your watch when away from home. When you aren’t charging your watch, you can put an optional Orb on the charge base and get a lamp that floats in the air too.
The LIFT will also charge the last two generations of Pebble watches. LIFT is currently raising production funds on Kickstarter and has already blown through its funding goal with more than 3 weeks remaining.
You can get the LIFT base and charger for the watch for $159(USD) or more. If you want the watch charger and the orb lamp, you will need to cough up $219 or more with shipping in October 2016.
