Merry Christmas Eve! This month has absolutely flown by!
I am thrilled to be sharing about this gorgeous watch from JORD. I have always wanted to gift my husband a watch, but I wasn't sure what direction to go. Luckily, JORD Watches reached out to us to select from one of their beautiful designs.
JORD Wooden Watches
My husband and I had never heard of JORD Watches prior to browsing their selection. JORD watches are handcrafted, wooden timepieces that demand to be seen with their modern and stylish cuts.
The watch my husband chose is the Ebony and Copper design from the Dover Series.
When the package came, I was completely blown away by how gorgeous this piece is. My husband, Clay, is here today to share with me below! Ladies, if you are wondering what the man in your life may think about a JORD watch, look no more!
I've never been much of a jewelry person (I think my own wedding ring makes my hand look a
little too busy…) but watches are more like a gray area in my opinion. They at least serve a purpose outside of
aesthetics and generally don’t look too gaudy or flashy. I’ve never owned a quality watch in my life,
either, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to at least test the
waters and find out if I’m a watch kind of guy.
Initially, I
put the watch on my left wrist. Big
mistake. Two pieces of jewelry
(including the wedding ring) on the same hand gave me anxiety and I felt like
it was all I, or anyone else for that matter, would be able to focus on. I immediately moved the watch to my right
wrist and that remedied the situation. Thankfully
it only took about 30 seconds to work out all the kinks.
I
really like the lower profile of the dark wood compared to other shinier or
louder materials. The clear distinction
between the dark wood and the actual timekeeping piece of the watch, consisting
of several different metals, deserves appreciation, too; particularly, the
copper inlay containing the numbers which accents the rest of the hardwood
beautifully. I also really like the
exposed “innards” of the watch setting directly beneath hands. Incredibly intricate and complex, the cogs
and gears making up the actual timekeeping piece of the watch are in full view
presenting a neat technological disparity between them and the wooden
band. The minute and hour hands are also
painted blue which adds a nice splash of color to make the whole thing stand
out a little and make it more interesting.
Overall, the watch
is really solid. Looks alone would be enough, but it’s also comfortable and
light. It hasn’t been ripping out arm
hairs (a very legitimate concern of mine) and doesn’t make any jangling noises
when I walk around (another very legitimate concern of mine.) The JORD wooden watch
is definitely highly recommended. Two thumbs up!
My husband LOVES this watch! It is manly, yet modern... and one of the most unique designs I have ever come across. Not to mention.... their packaging is absolutely beautiful!
From my perspective, I LOVE the designer look of the watch with the unique wooden parts. I think it looks amazing on my husband and I cannot recommend this piece to enough people!
