JORD Wood Watch

I've got this son.

Well actually I have four of those I guess.  But one of those, well he likes the finer things in life.

Wait.... they all like the finer things in life, maybe he's just better at saving his money when he needs to, so as to acquire those finer things.

His name happens to start with a J, the same as the maker of one of those F.T.'s in life.

And J likes watches.  His new favorites are JORD Wood Watches.

A few summers ago J saved money to buy himself a cool watch he had seen that had a self winding mechanism.

There was no turning back after he owned that particular type. 

I'd never heard of such a thing before, but basically when you have a self winding watch on, it's winding.

That's one of the things J thinks is cool about this JORD watch.  Oh, and you don't have to sleep with it on, it stays accurate for a day or two on your dresser.

Gravity makes it wind and the swinging of your arms in your daily life is the motion it needs to keep accurate.

This style watch has a clear front that lets you see all the tiny little gears at work, which I agree makes for a pretty slick looking time piece.

As a DIY guy, the man of the house could certainly appreciate a fine watch when it's made out of interesting woods, but the man of the house doesn't wear watches.

So when JORD Wood Watches asked if I would like to review something from their lineup, I knew just who would be a willing hand model.

What I didn't expect was the reaction from all the guys around here - both looking at the watches on line and when it arrived.

First, all the menfolk had to huddle around the ipad to help in the selection.

Statements were uttered such as, "those are cool, I'd even wear a one of those".

The DIY guy thought a wood watch was about the sweetest kind he'd ever seen.

But ultimately it was J who got to pick from the selection and he settled on a flashy one.... the Ebony and Rosewood.

These are luxury handcrafted watches, but they are intended to be worn as you go about living your life.

Doing things like playing video games.......

Holding hands with girls........

Cooking brats on the grill......

And the everyday occurrence of wrestling.

At least it's everyday at my house.

J is the type of kid that takes good care of his things, so he doesn't wear his new watch to work or any place that would put it at risk.

But basically a JORD Wood Watch can go anywhere and do anything that any other kind of watch can do.

Except this.......

It's splash proof, but not water proof.

Congratulations to J on his graduation, 

and thank you to JORD Wood Watches for sending the complimentary watch to commemorate it.  Check out the full JORD line, they have ladies styles too.
