Men’s Series: Got Wood?

IMG_7765

I try to keep an open mind with everything I try now-a-days. Seasonal craft brews, strange donuts , different music, off-the-cuff business ideas…I mean I’m writing a freakin blog post right now.  C’mon.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is keeping yourself open to ideas that are different than the convention is good for the soul.  Now, throw out your idea of a standard wrist watch and replace it with a tree-huggin, granola eatin, earth-lovin wooden watch.  Sup Jord.

Jord is a StL-based watch company that creates some pretty cool hardware.  All of their watches are wood and they carry nice designs.  What I’m wearing here is the chocolate 94A Series.

What I like about this guy is it always gets attention being its made from a different material.  Its lightweight and hangs comfortably.  Expect people to ask all the typical questions:

 “You know you can’t get it wet right?”

            – Yup. I live life on the edge. Plus it’s splashproof.

“Doesn’t it warp over time?”

            – I will let you know, BUT it is very easy to adjust.

“Does it damage / scuff easily?”

            – A little more so than a typical METAL watch but I will say the wood is great quality.

Going outside my comfort zone always feels…well, uncomfortable.  But at a minimum, trying new things just ends up being a cool story you can tell other people.  Being a rough and tumble dude, I’m cautious when wearing this piece, but I continue reaching for it throughout the weeks’ wears.  Check out a Jord watch here.  Stand out a little.
