When I first heard about Jord Wood Watches, I didn’t really know what to expect. I figured a watch made out of wood would be heavy and bulky. Boy, was I wrong!

I jumped at the chance to give one of Jord’s wood watches a try (because I am kind of obsessed with watches and all), and I chose the Sidney watch in maple and rose gold. The watch is a beautiful maple color, and the rose gold watch face is so classy and a nice touch to the wooden band.

The watch was VERY lightweight despite being made out of wood. I found it to be much lighter than the watches I own that have silicone bands!

There are a variety of wood bands to choose from, each of which has an elegant-looking finish:

• Koa
• Zebrawood
• Maple
• Cherry

I want one of these watches in each finish! I had never heard of Zebrawood before, and it makes for a VERY nice watch band!

You can get Jord watches with a wooden face or with a metal face like the one on the Sidney watch. And, there are watches with more rectangular faces – the 746, the Delmar and the 94A – which make them more unique than your typical watch.

Jord also has come out with its new Dover line of men’s watches that feature 3D numbers and gears on the watch face. It’s so neat and trendy – something I really want to get for my husband. He would love it! And, Jord has a Pujols Family Foundation watch that features a maple band with the Pujols Family Foundation logo etched on the watch face. When you buy this watch, 20% of all proceeds from the sale will be donated directly to the Pujols Family Foundation.

Our style is guided by a deep appreciation for natural elements and modern design. Wood is not just a component of our watches, it is the main feature. The intricacy and multiplicity of the woods we utilize in our designs insure that each watch is as distinctive as the owner.

Jord watches come in a gorgeous wooden box, which makes them ready to give as a gift with no other work necessary!
