Jord Watches: Animal Friendly and Incomparably Elegant

Press-SampleVeganlicious Mondays: Father’s Day Idea – gift alert! Jord Wooden Watches!
Most vegans (and even a lot of cruelty free shoppers) choose not to wear leather. Leather is far from a necessity and honestly, there are SO many amazing alternatives in the shoes, bags, and watches departments. It makes me wonder…why would anyone ever want to sport animal skin?!

One of the most beautiful non-leather watch makers I’ve ever come across is JORD. Their premium quality watches are constructed from all natural wood. Yes, wood. The watches are like little works of art, with the material on each piece showcasing the natural grain of the wood and making it unique.

Their designs come in men’s, women’s, and unisex. While I was eyeing the Sidney (for women, complete with Swarovski crystals), I chose the Dover as a gift for my husband – he deserves it. This would also make a great gift! I selected the Dover design because it is elegant, intricate, and timeless (pun shamelessly intended.)

My husband was in love with the watch at first sight (and trust me, I know what his “love at first sight” looks like.) He mentioned that he loves how the piece can be dressed up or down, that you can see the natural grain of the wood that was used to craft it and that, as he puts it, “the high quality is obvious to anyone who catches sight of it.” It is very well-made, and you can tell.

The watch is light to wear, and almost feels like it becomes a part of you. The second hand is smooth on it’s never-ending journey and you can see the inner mechanisms bouncing around as the proverbial “wheels” turn.

Jord offers a service that will size the watch for you before it arrives. (How, you ask? They include easy printable instructions. If you can use a scissors, you can measure your wrist.) This service costs $10 and makes life a bit easier.

Like most watches, the Jord watches are automatic and will self-wind. However, it arrives unwound and you can wind it by hand if you choose. (Also, if you don’t wear it for a period of time, you’ll have to wind it by hand to get a head start. This is easy and there are instructions included.)

I’m pretty sure any man would be thrilled and honored to receive a Jord watch. But it would make an especially meaningful gift to any man who is concerned for the well-being of animals – and those are the best type of men anyway.
