My name's Kat and I have a confession.
I love fashion. I do. I adore it. I love dreaming up outfits. I love looking at the best dressed list of the latest event, gushing over outfits, accessories, pieces. Shopping is my happy place, and that feeling of lugging a huge haul back home after a spree, trying on all my bits and having my own little fashion parade party in my bedroom, well, I can't even put that feeling in words.
However....
As much as I love fashion, I'm a total follower. I'm far from a trendsetter. I always end up getting to the party, but I'm often late.
One such party I have been late to this time is the watch party. In fact, this party has been raging for some time. I told myself I didn't need a wrist watch, why should I? I have my phone practically glued to my hand, on call to tell me the precise time whenever I need it.
But then I noticed the wrists of so many fashionistas, draped in gorgeous watches of all shapes and sizes. And gone were the days where ladies watches were cute and dainty. I was seeing chunky watches with huge faces and I loved them. Totally gorgeous and out there for the word to see. And I got it. No one actually needs a watch to tell the time these days. A watch is a statement, and better late than never, I decided I had to have one.
So when JORD got in touch and ask me if I wanted to try one of their luxury ladies watches it was perfect timing.
Firstly, I must tell you that all JORD watches are individually handcrafted and made of wood that's sourced from all around the world. When I browsed through their selection of unique watches I knew I just had to have one. There's such a wide selection and each one is as beautiful as the next.
I'm all about the black and gold these days so when I laid my eyes on the JORD Frankie series in Ebony & Gold, that was the one for me. When it arrived it looked even better in my hot little hands. The gorgeous wooden box that it came in is fabulous and I'll keep it tucked away in there whenever I'm not wearing it.
Because the watch is wood, it's super light weight and it's so comfortable on my wrist. Even though the watch is quite chunky, which is the style I was going for, I could easily forget that I was even wearing one.
When I placed my order, I followed the easy online instructions and sent my exact wrist size so they resized it before they sent it and included the extra links in my box.
The clasp is really simple to work and I can put my watch on and off really easily myself.
Most importantly, can we just take a moment to appreciate the true beauty of this watch?
JORD is an American company so everything is shipped from the US. My watch was with me within a week. JORD wood watches start from $139 USD (Current UK exchange rate £105) and my Franke Gold & Ebony watch is worth $189USD (£143).
JORD offer free worldwide shipping. Yay! Please do be aware when ordering internationally there may be additional customs charges. I had to pay £13.75 when I picked my JORD package up from my local post office in the UK.
I'm so, so happy with my gorgeous watch. I can't stop admiring it and I've had so many lovely comments about it. I think this would make such a great unique gift idea too. I'll definitely be adding this to my gift ideas list for a couple of the impossible to buy for men in my life. Is it just me or does everyone have a few of them?
I would love to hear what you think of my watch. Are you at the watch party? What are you rocking on your wrists right now?
* The team at JORD were lovely enough to send me this watch at no charge for the purpose of this review. All opinions are honest and my own.
