JORD Watches

Okay friends, I have a confession to make - I have a watch addiction. Well, it's more accurate to say I used to have a watch addiction. It's funny how children change things like that for a person. I'd buy at least one new watch every year and I'm talking about a Fossil, Micheal Kors, or Coach watch to be more specific. They were my babies, my collectibles, a token of a job well done with amazing bonuses; they look bomb and I always know the time. When Vela was about six-month-old I stopped wearing my watches because I was afraid she'd slobber all over them and ruin them. Last fall when we bought our house, I very carefully packed them away and never unpacked them. When JORD reached out to me about a potential collaboration, a spark went off in my mind. WATCHES! My first love, how have I forgotten about you? I combed through their website mesmerized by all the unique wooden watches they offer. I knew right then that this collaboration would be perfect for me. The hardest part was only picking one.

JORD is based in St. Louis, MO (hello midwest!). They use a mix of natural and largely reclaimed materials to develop their watches, giving them high quality, craftsmanship charm. I chose the Frankie 38mm in Dark Sandalwood & Espresso (swoon!). This watch costs $179 which is comparable to brands like Fossil. I was curious how the quality of the Frankie would compare to other watches in this price range. I was amazed by the amount of detail they put into this watch, including packaging. They include a microfiber cloth along with preserve oil so you can keep your watch looking as good as the first day you got it. Some wooden watches I've tried on have seemed flimsy and easily breakable, hence why I never bought them. This watch is very strong and durable like it could withstand the power of a toddler if they got their hands on it. It's safe to say that I'm impressed. The hardware is solid yet delicate and pretty looking. Dare I say the quality is better than any other watch I've owned?! I'd say their pricing is spot on for the high quality and attention to detail.

JORD made it easy to determine the sizing I needed. They have a ruler by cm you can print out and use to measure your wrist. All you do is wrap the ruler comfortably around your wrist and round up to the nearest 1/4 cm. They'll customize the watch to fit you perfectly, no need to do it yourself. With the holidays coming up, you can upgrade to a personalized wooden box or engrave the back of the watch itself making it a lovely personalized gift option. They also offer a one year warranty giving you peace of mind in case anything were to happen to your watch.

Now, what we've all been waiting for; it's giveaway time! JORD is offering $100 off any watch to one of my followers. All you have to do is click here and enter in your general information. This giveaway will run for about a month, pending at least 35 entries, so make sure to tell your friends and family.

Thank you to JORD for thinking of me for this wonderful collaboration. You've brought back to life my love and appreciation for watches at an even higher standard. I dug out my old watches which all need new batteries at this point. I'm soo happy to add Frankie to my collection. I know what I'll be adding to my Christmas wish list this year!
