A New York Minute with Jord Watches

It seems like everyone in New York is always in a hurry! Seeing a mass of people power walking to get to their destination is just an average commute. That’s because NYC runs on a slightly different schedule than the rest of the country. Everything is just so incredibly faced paced here. Timing out the traffic lights and subways is practically an art form. To juggle it all, it’s important to have a great watch that will look good and help you keep track of it all. My New York minute is powered by my JORD Watch.

Any outfit doesn’t feel complete without a watch of my wrist. It’s genuinely an accessory I can’t live without, both for style and function. JORD (pronounced Yode) was so kind as to send me this stunning watch from their new Cora Polaris collection. This brand is incredibly unique because they use high-quality wood to make classic watches, with a twist.

I was absolutely floored when I saw this automatic wood watch in person. Typically, I’m not a rose gold kind of girl. Nearly all of my jewelry is yellow gold, but the rose gold paired with rich walnut and a midnight blue face makes for a beautiful combination. So much thought and detail was put into this beautiful wooden timepiece. Hand-seated Swarovski crystals are embedded into the face to create a ‘Little Dipper’ design. Since the materials come from nature, why not add more nature-inspired influences?

To really attest to the quality of the watch, there are two more features that a true watch lover will absolutely appreciate. First, the watch is a self-winding automatic. That means no pesky batteries to worry about. You can catch a little glimpse of the watch movement from the front of the watch, but the real show is on the back. All of the mechanics can be seen there. Also, the face is covered by a scratch-proof sapphire crystal. Second, in hardness only to diamonds, it guarantees that your watch will continue to look pristine on the first wear or the thousandth. It is a true collector’s timepiece!

Even with all of the glitz and glamour, it’s still an extremely versatile piece. The wood materials keep it casual enough to wear every day and the crystal details elevate it for a day at the office or night out. It also comes in three other color combinations, each more gorgeous than the last. Besides my midnight blue watch, I’m very partial to the yellow gold and turquoise combo.

As part of my collaboration with JORD, I’m also hosting a little giveaway that you just can’t miss out on! One lucky reader will receive a $100 gift card to pick the Jord watch of their choice. Besides the Cora Polaris, they have many other watch styles for both men and women. If you swear by your Apple Watch, they have specially designed bands for that too. Their next venture includes sunglasses and baseball caps, but I’ve heard that a line of handbags is also in the works too.
