3 things about me:
- I love watches.
- I wear them for fashion purposes only.
- I don’t discriminate. It doesn’t matter who it’s intended for, male or female, if I like it, I’m wearing it!
So you can imagine how overjoyed I am to have the opportunity to partner with JORD Wood Watches as a part of my month long, yes I said “MONTH long,” birthday celebration. I like celebrating and I’m not ashamed of it, so that judgment, you can keep it!
I was so excited to receive my watch that I couldn’t even wait to get home and open it, I opened it in the car. I know, pressed! But let me just tell you, the unveiling of my custom handmade watch was an experience within itself.
The watch box is HUGE! It’s made of all wood and has two compartments. The first one is on top where the actual watch is stored along with a watch pillow to keep it safe during shipping. And then there’s a dope little drawer that slides out to store the additional watch links. I plan on storing all of my watches in the box, it’s just that big!
Now about the watch, I choose Koa & Ash from the Frankie series. I have been looking for an everyday watch, so when I saw this one, I thought, “well, show out Jesus!” It was just what I was looking for, simple with personality, just like me! I personally like the contracts between the Koa wood and the Ash face. I knew that I could dress it up or down to get maximum wear out of it. And the fact that it matches my Damier Ebene Neverfull, yup, sign me up!
I’m really not concerned about the Swiss Ronda Normtech Caliber 763 movement of the watch because again, it never has to tick again, and I’ll totally be fine with that. But if you are into watches for functional purpose then there you go.
Now the sapphire glass, I’m here for! And because I’m also here to keep the people informed, here’s your material science lesson for today. Sapphire glass is known in the luxury watch world as the definitive material for transparency and durability. Sapphire is a synthetic crystal (aluminum oxide Al2O3) rather than actual glass. It is colorless and optically clear. Mechanically, it is second only to diamond as the hardest and most scratch-resistant materials on earth. I plan on wearing Frankie daily, so yeah, Imma need that luxury sapphire!
And you know what, I want you to have it too! As much as I like celebrating birthdays, I also like giveaways.

Thank you, I appreciate the birthday love. I know, I’m like that with all accessories though. Please pray for me, hahaha!
Headed to enter the drawing! I just love the wooden box! Great review!

Love this watch!!!
Thanks for stopping by. Make sure you enter to win for your chance to get one just like it!
wow! that watch is amazing. Seems like a great celebration 🙂
I love it. Totally something I would have purchased for myself. I will be getting a few as Christmas gifts!
Maple and lavender is my favorite. (But in reality, I’d probably never wear it.)
Hahaha, I understand. I used to be like that with watches too and then after I started looking at them more as fashion statements than functionally, my whole outlook changed.
I need to do better about celebrating my own birthdays. I just turned 30 this year and didn’t do anything because my birthday fell on Mother’s Day. But now you’ve given me some inspiration, thanks!
Sarah! We have got to figure out what we are going to do to celebrate. There is still time. For your 30th, you are supposed to celebrate all year long. That’s a rule, Hahaha!
Awww this is so cute! I see those watches all the time, it’s goes beautifully with your purse. Happy Birthday!
Thanks so much Tata! It was a bday gift too!
First of all, you are too cute! Second, um I think I am now in love with Jord too! I love the wood so chic!
Hahaha! Thanks so much De, I appreciate it. Yes it is nice. Screams luxury!

SO pretty! I love watches but I have a terrible time finding ones that fit me and don’t look *too* big. I have super small wrists.
Oh that’s why I like this one so much, you send them your wrist size and they will size it exactly for you!
