As someone who is constantly on the go, frequently traveling abroad and working in New York City, I am very selective about my accessories. I tend to gravitate towards items that are elegant and stylish yet functional and durable, especially when it comes to my watches. I have acquired a few over the years, but I rarely travel with them for fear they will get lost or scratched and I don’t like adding the extra bulk to my carry-on bag.

 

 

Recently, I’ve been on the lookout for a unique watch that is a little more versatile and could withstand my whirlwind lifestyle of travel and living and working in the city. I found just what I was looking for in the JORD Wood Watch.

 

 

JORD – pronounced /’yūde/ – is Swedish for earth, soil or land. Each watch is handcrafted using a variety of woods including Sandalwood, Zebrawood, Maple and others sourced from across the globe and assembled to create one of a kind timepieces. They are not only elegant, but durable thanks to their stainless steel clasp and scratch resistant Sapphire crystal face. JORD Wood Watches are also water resistant and splash proof making them practical for travelers and suitable for everyday wear.

 

 

JORD offers a variety of colors and styles of both men’s and women’s watches. I went with the Frankie 35 Series in Zebrawood & Champagne and I absolutely love it! I was surprised by how lightweight it was given its solid wood band. It’s the perfect size and weight for easily packing in my carry-on.

I’ve been enjoying my new wood watch throughout the fall and holiday season and I can’t wait to take it with me on my next adventure to Montreal at the end of December. One thing to note, because these are all natural wood watches, it’s best to avoid exposing them to extreme climates. I’ll have to leave it behind when I venture to tropical locales, but aside from that, I plan to take it with me around the world!
