I love supporting local St. Louis owned businesses. When the opportunity to review a Wood Watch by Jord, a St. Louis based company, came along I was eager to check them out. Jord is a Swedish word that means earth, soil, and land. Just by definition alone you understand why the watch is made of wood, as Jord style reflects their appreciation for natural elements. Unlike other watches that incorporate wood into the design, with a Jord watch, the wood is not just a component – it is the main feature of the design.
Each Jord watch is individually crafted and designed to not only be worn but to be used. You can have Jord custom size the watch for you when you order it or if you are a St. Louis local you can go into the store and have them size it for you.
Father’s Day is just around the corner if you’ve been searching for that unique gift this is the gift for you. Each watch come with it’s own custom box that has your beautiful Jord watch inside. The craftsmanship of this time peace is astonishing. Inside the box you will get your own limited warranty protection card that allows you replacement for up to one year. It also comes with its own polishing cloth. I received the Delmar Series Blue, which retails for $149.00, for this review. It is amazing.
Delmar’s versatility is inherent in the design, making it a true chameleon. The industrial dial complements the angled case and transitional band. We choose saturated carbon fiber colors and muted wood tones to add contrast. The Delmar is fitting for casual attire but can transition seamlessly to suit and tie.
