A few weeks ago, I was contacted by an innovative brand called JORD to review their wood watches.
Wood watches…are you serious?
As silly as this sounds, I didn’t really think the watches were made of real wood. Is that even possible? I had never heard of such a thing until now and it’s the coolest discovery I have made all month.
JORD (which means earth, soil, land in Swedish) is a company composed of artists, designers and seasoned watch smiths. With their appreciation for natural elements and modern design, JORD strives to create timepieces to suit the modern lifestyle. By using a mix of naturally and sustainably sourced wood from around the world, JORD creates watches that are unique as the individual wearing the piece.
JORD Wood Watch Review
I selected the Fieldcrest watch in maple because I thought the light colored wood would be versatile and compliment a lot of my clothing, especially for summer. I also liked that it’s midsize watch, since I have small wrists. To make sure the watch would fit, I used the measuring guide that JORD Wood Watches sent me to size the watch.
A few days later my new JORD Wood Watch arrived in a beautiful carved wooden box that completed the presentation of the timepiece. The watch came neatly tucked on a dark brown pillow, which contrasted nicely with this creamy colored JORD Wood Watch inside. I picked up the watch and I was expecting it to be heavy like a normal watch, but it was actually ultra-light. I really like that it’s lightweight because I hate to lug around heavy things on my wrist.
This watch is truly a raw beauty. The grain and pattern is very intricate and there is no other watch like it, since no two wood watches will look exactly the same. The face of the watch is made using a scratch resistant mineral, so I don’t have to worry about damaging it from everyday wear.
I love my new wood watch and how well it fit into my summer wardrobe. From dressy looks, to casual looks like this one, the watch will be with me all season. One thing I should mention is that I although I wore this watch to the beach, I didn’t go in the water with the watch on. These watches are designed to be splash proof, but are not intended to be submerged in water.
