Running after time with JORD Wood Watches & $100 GIVEAWAY

Unique Watch

Remember this: Time is always running away. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't count the seconds something new becomes a memory of its own...
As a writer, nothing is more important than inspiration and time.

For me, it all started when I unintentionally learnt to love stories and adventure. Ever since the first trip to the bookstore with my dad, I seemed to always run out of hours in a day, looking for another book to devour. 

And nothing felt more natural than being able to always tell time. 

As I grew up though, I took even more pride in knowing how much one minute, even a few seconds, can mean to someone. 




And I wanted to make a memory with my very own JORD Wood Watch. Gifting this stunning masterpiece as a little thank you this Father's Day, was one of the easiest choices I made.

My dad taught me to value every second, and learn that "when you grow up, you will know what that means". 

I do. I think I do. So. Why not have every passing second running away from us, admired through a JORD timepiece Dark Sandalwood & Emerald. Something that can be both simple and intricate is bound to make you at the very least smile.     







I am so proud to announce I have partnered up with JORD to bring this watch as my very small token for Father's Day. 

It is an iconic timeless piece, one I think fits in perfectly for travelling, discovering and all round fun adventures.  

And speaking of adventure, the Auckland Museum felt like the perfect place for this shoot. It was also fun seeing the former photographer - my dad - standing in front of the camera, rather than behind it for a change. It's one of those moments you smile, laugh and know you'll collect as another.. guess what? Memory...

Memories are made in seconds, not just in a lifetime.  

Every little corner of this watch has a new element that makes it more unique from every angle. It's so minimalistic yet it captures everything that radiates inspiration. 



From the dark, almost powerful sandalwood, a shade that immediately caught my eye, to the contrasting emerald. 

Seeing the watch in the photo is one thing. Beautiful. 

But examining it up close? Stunning. 

The clean cut face allows for a simple view of the ticking hands, while the emerald backdrop accompanies it for a soothing effect. 

I might have taken a few extra minutes to soak in all the different shades of dark sandalwood especially how even the side of the face had the monogram JORD engraved. I am all for the small details.


In truth, I never heard too much about wood watches. Once my eyes landed on the JORD site however, I might have fallen in love with at least a few of them. 

They have this almost calm look to them.. 

Something about the idea of time encased in wood - and all kinds of wood. 

From Sandalwood, to Rosewood, Ebony, Kosso, Zebrawood and so many more.

All the watches are made of natural wood. Not very heard of right?




No matter what the kind of wood, there is something for everyone. There are endless bold choices to fit every personality.

You can even custom engrave it for an extra personalized touch.   

The Dark Sandalwood I choose has caught my attention specifically for the dark grain of the wood and how it emphasizes the gold detailing all around. It makes the emerald stand out, while it still composes it self into a streamlined structure. 



It's light but still heavy enough to fit just right on the wrist. It has a smooth texture to the strap, bringing comfort at the forefront. 

I think it could be one of the simplest ways to say a small thank you.
