Taking A Look At Jord Watches

I was recently approached by Jord Watches to see if I'd be interested in reviewing one of their wooden watches & as soon as I read their email I was intrigued to click onto their website to see what the watches looked like.  

As I've mentioned in the past I just love unique & individual pieces of jewellery as it has the ability to really transform even the simplest of outfits, so the thought of a watch made from wood really appealed to me.  Plus as with all accessories, I don't think a girl can ever have too many in her wardrobe ;-)

Now if like me you've not heard of Jord Watches, they're an American company who design & produce hand crafted wooden timepieces that tell a story.  Beautifully crafted & presented each watch has a individual uniqueness & beauty that comes from being primarily made from wood with the grain of wood adding to their attraction & of course no watch is exactly the same.

On top of this they offer a wide range of watches made from a variety of different woods ranging from Bamboo, Ebony & Sandalwood to name just a few.  Each has either a self winding mechanism or battery mechanism with sapphire glass faces.

With designs for both men & women & unisex ones too I was spoilt for choice but in the end went with the first one that caught my eye.  But before I share with you the design I picked I thought I'd show you the beautiful wooden presentation box that each watch arrives in.

I just love the colour of the Zebrawood strap & casing teamed with the maple wood face, it really does make a stunning combination & its just perfect for teaming with my wooden tassel bracelet that I bought on holiday.  

Size wise the case is 39mm & on my wrist means the watch isn't too bulky but is the right size for a chunky style, which is what I was hoping for & why I chose one of the unisex designs.  I think it's going to look perfect layered with some multi coloured bracelets or gold accessories.

Naturally it will come as no surprise to see that I'm wearing my new wrist candy today.

The watches really are beautifully made & would make the most stunning of present either for yourself or a loved one.

One of the things that really stood out for me when dealing with Jord Watches was the personal service they offered, which included the option of having the watch sized for your wrist so you can wear it immediately when it arrives.  

I have to say I'm absolutely delighted with my new timepiece & it will make a lovely alternative to my metal watch that I wear on an everyday basis.  The only thing I've got to watch (pardon the pun!) is that because I chose one of the unisex designs my son, who has recently started collecting watches already has his eye on mine & is threatening that if it goes missing it will be on his wrist!  Which has got me thinking you know all those males in our lives that are extremely awkward to buy for?!!  Well I reckon these watches would make the perfect present & with Christmas approaching at an alarming pace I shall be bookmarking these to re-visit at a later date!

So what do you think?  Would a wooden watch appeal to you?  If it does then click here to have a look at all their other stunning designs.  It's also worth noting that despite being based in America, Jord Watches offer free shipping worldwide so there's no expensive shipping costs & I was really impressed with the speed in which I received the watch, which was just under a week.  

Right I've got a busy day ahead so time to get focused & get my head down.

Hope everyone has a fab day & I'll see you in the morning.

  1. Hi Jane they are certainly very different, I think they would be perfect for the teen boy market maybe?....Hence why your son has his eye on your watch! Love your feather gilet, so unusual and so glamorous as always!!

    1. Yes I'm sure my watch will be nabbed by my son if I don't keep an eye out Helen! They'd make the most lovely gift wouldn't they?!
      The gilet is something a little different isn't it but I'm hoping it will add a bit of interest to some simple outfits.

    1. Yes there's something very unusual about the watches isn't there Lynne. I just love the fact they're made from wood instead of metal.
