Bit of a different post today! I've got a beautiful watch to share with you from JORD Watches. You may have seen a few other bloggers featuring a Jord watch recently, and I'm excited to be able to feature one myself! It's nice to write about something different now and again
The stand out thing about Jord watches is of course that they're made from wood, which isn't something I've seen before and is certainly eye catching. All the wood that Jord uses is untreated, sustainably sourced and they use a variety of different woods including bamboo, maple, koa, ebony and cherry to name a few. The untreated wood plus the stainless steel buckle means each watch is hypoallergenic.
Wood is an underused material in fashion, if you ask me. Before a few years ago, wood didn’t have much more than a cameo as a purse handle or, bless, toggles on a terrible winter coat. Recently, though, a shift in perspective has been hitting the consumer market. Sustainability is becoming cool, and along with the eco-movement comes a new appreciation for wood as a fashionable material, creating everything from wooden sunglasses to watches from various sustainably-harvested trees.

Most watches come in a series of wood colors and styles, and there are several models to choose from – all at their own price level. These nature-celebrating watches could easily be considered a luxury item, ranging from $120 (the model I have on, above) to $250. It’s difficult to criticize a watch within the first year of owning it, honestly, because as of now… it still works as well as the day I received it! The clasp is clever and sturdy, and the link pieces are surprisingly durable.
The watch isn’t completely water safe, though you don’t need to worry about getting a splash on it. It isn’t your grandmother’s wooden buffet, and you don’t need to baby it, but do keep it out of the sun when you’re not wearing it, do not submerge it (it’s untreated wood, so it expands when it gets really wet) and make sure to keep it clean. You can keep your watch clean by combining a little olive oil and lemon juice and applying it with a soft cloth.
Would I recommend JORD wood watches? Yeah, I think that I would! I have been giving mine the business for two months, and it’s held up nicely. Each watch comes with an authenticity card, and a 12 month JORD warranty, which was another unexpected-but-cool surprise during this experience!
I’m happy with my selection of black stained wood, as opposed to the beautiful green or natural light color that many styles are offered in. It’s very richly colored, but still looks like expensive wood! For $159, I’d definitely say this was a good investment if you’re in the market for a unique, sustainable watch!
