It’s funny how having a son has made me think more about things a touch retro that I’ve always loved that I want him to know about too. Like how important I’ve decided the art of cursive is. I absolutely love it, and it makes me sad he may never be taught how to do it in school. Or how it pains me that he will never know the era of handwritten letters, an art that seems to have all but disappeared. With all of us so inseparable from our phones, I’ll admit I sometimes have thought this about watches – until now!
It’s been a while since I’ve worn a watch, but when Jord reached out to send me this amazing emerald wood watch, it couldn’t have been more perfectly timed. The last thing I have time to do these days is to pick out additional rings or bracelets. The watch has enough to it to cover off on needing any sort of hand/wrist accessory, which has been a style lifesaver when my son thinks all my accessories are toys! I love the larger face and the way the darker wood on the band ties it together with almost any colors I wear.
Additionally if there’s one thing these days I’m paying attention to, it’s time. I’m always keeping an eye on when I last fed Q, how close we are to bedtime and professionally, how soon I have to dash out the door to catch that ideal train to and from work. Getting my hand easily on my phone these days can be a challenge (as is remembering to recharge it) – so having the time so easily accessible has been super helpful. I thought a wooden watch might make a heavy accessory, but I was wrong. This one feels far lighter than the silver one I have.

Aren’t Jord watches the best? I worked with them a few times and really love the quality and style of their time pieces. And the giveaway makes it even better!
Hi Karen – Yes, totally agree! Didn’t realize when they reached out that this would become such a wardrobe staple for me. I’ve become obsessed!
They have so many lovely designs. I might have to snag one for my husband for his birthday this year, i know he would love it
I haven’t tried wearing Jordan watches but as I can see, it’s simple yet beautiful. It looks great on you.!
Jord wood watch is unique, and the emerald color makes it even beautifully! I rarely use watch, but seeing this Jord watch makes me think to have another one.
I really like the skirt you are wearing with the outfit. The watch looks great with everything, too.
Father’s Day will be here soon and this would be a great gift idea. I love this for my Husband!
These wooden watches are so popular. My daughter got a wooden watch two years ago for Christmas, at the time where we live, they were all the rage.
Absolutely love the colour you’ve picked! I’ve been wanting a watch from them for what feels like years and I just can’t decide on the colour. One day I’m all for the fair tones and another I just want a real deep mahogany one x
I love the green face of this JORD watch. It truly makes a statement, especially when paired with the dark wood.
This looks like a fab watch! With such a busy life I’m quite obsessed with time and would be lost without my watch. I hadn’t heard of jord until recently, but people seem to love the brand.
JORD watches are seriously incredible. I’ve had mine over a year now and only wear on special occasions and get so many comments on mine. They truly are lovely.
I love the color you chose. I also have a JORD watch and it’s a favorite! The wood is incredibly light and matches everything.
JORD has some really great products. They have been doing so much with them for the last year.
I never tire of the hundreds of posts on Jord watches. They are truly a pretty and unique accessory.
I bought my husband a JORD watch years ago and he still loves it to this day. He often wears it when we go out together.
