When I was granted the opportunity to work with JORD wood watches, I debated how I felt about a wooden watch, much less authentically reviewing it and presenting it to my followers. However, when I received the package and opened it up, there was this masterfully crafted wooden case, holding my minimalist wooden watch. I was pleasantly surprised not only by the watch’s box, but also my watch.
The Colors
My watch is made out of “zebrawood,” as they call it. It makes sense once you see the rich rainbow of wood colors blended into the outline of the face and throughout the band. It looks so expensively made. Then, you reach the watch’s face. Mine is the navy colored option. Sometimes we think of navy as being more dull or less vibrant. No, this is more saturated, more rich. I love the combination of these colors together; it’s so unique. I flipped through the site and was amazed at how much I appreciated the craftsmanship and the movement towards these more minimalist wooden watches.
5 Tips on How to Style Your Wood Watch
Focal point: Make your watch the focal point of your arm candy. Maybe surround it by a couple plain gold or silver bracelets. Or, allow it to be your only arm candy.
Pop of color: I like to wear this watch against monochromatic outfits (say, all black) or neutrals. The varying woods and watch face really stand out amongst the simplicity.
It’s versatile: Add wood as a new dimension to your outfit, Maybe you’re in silk; add the wooden texture to enhance the look to something more chic. Maybe you’re in stripes. Add another pattern, if you will, to create a trendy look.
Minimize: With no embellishments, the watch is, well, a minimal style. Not only is the watch movement heading that way, but accessories are too-think dainty necklaces, for example. Pair this with more plain, less embellished pieces. Keep everything minimal for a more hipster-chic vibe. Or, pair with a flashy ensemble to tone down the dramatics of your attire.
Match, matchy: Especially during summer, and even fall, things like shoes or jewelry are containing wood or wood-looking elements. Think platforms, clogs, necklaces, etc. Match your watch with those pieces. That way, you’re creating consistency throughout the look.
Bottom Line
I’m obsessed with the watch game switching gears and shifting to simplistic, unique designs, especially when a lot of other accessories are encouraging the minimalist style. Wooden accents are such unexpected chic pieces. So, if you’re going to try this style, I would highly recommend you to try a JORD wooden watch, and enjoy the custom fitting, up-and-coming trend in the watch world.
