We are a family that collects many things. For me, I treasure my handbags and sunglasses while Coach D is all about his watches and cologne. And I have to admit, I love Coach D’s watch collection – he has everything from the Guess watch he wore as a teen to his Joe Rodeo which we got him for his 30th birthday. Each one has sentimental meaning, and I love the idea that he treasures his memories in the form of timepieces – there’s something just so sweet about that. But one watch that he does not have, and which his collection sorely needed, was one from JORD Wooden Watches.
JORD Wooden Watches are the hot new timepiece trends for both women and men. They are unique timepieces carved almost entirely out of a variety of luxurious woods and all of their designs are “sustainable, efficient, simple, and influenced by experiential living.” I had not heard of JORD until they contacted me about reviewing their products, but after one look at their website I. WAS. HOOKED.
Go look at the Cora Series in Turquise for Women – is that not an insanely gorgeous watch?! And the Sidney in Maple & Rose Gold – LOVE IT! I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to check out one of these beauties in person. Ultimately I decided that rather than choose a watch for myself, I’d choose one for my watch collector, Coach D. This was one watch I knew we’d never encounter in any old store, so now was the time to score him something beautiful and unique for his collection. The watch I chose for him was the Men’s Sully Black & Maple.
Now first off I have to say that I was very impressed with how this watch arrived – it came all beautifully packages in this wooden box, tucked nicely onto this little pillow. The presentation was so great I didn’t bother to wrap it for Coach D, I simply popped a bow on it and it was good to go. JORD gets bonus points for that because I can’t stand spending money on wrapping paper (yes, I’m the girl who uses Christmas wrapping paper for birthdays because I refuse to pay full price for something that is just going to be ripped to shreds 😉 ).
As for the watch – I was equally as impressed. The first thing I noticed was how light this watch is – despite being made almost entirely of wood, it is extremely lightweight yet altogether very hardy. Each piece is smoothly polished and hand crafted with extreme precision. Each piece is extremely detailed – even the arm you use to set the time is stamped with the JORD logo.
Needless to say I was thrilled with this watch and knew Coach D was going to love it, and boy was I right. A few days after presenting it to him he showed me an Instagram photo of a NFL player wearing a JORD Wooden Watch, and since then he hasn’t take it off. It’s been to numerous practices, put up with a ton of day-to-day wear and tear and it still looks great.
If you’d like to learn more about JORD Wooden Watches, head on over to their website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. There you’ll see their full line of men’s and women’s watches, as well as the TONS of awesome ways these watches can complete just about any look. These would make an excellent Father’s Day Gift, so keep JORD in mind!
Disclosure: I received this watch from JORD in exchange for this blog review; however, all opinions are 110% my own.
