Wood Watches: A Timeless Tradition

People all around the globe have been knocking on wood for good luck for generations, but my family has a pretty great tradition for good luck that I'd like to share with you. My family has a time-honored tradition of gifting watches for good luck. Whether it is graduation, a new job, a new home, (or even a 1 year blogging anniversary!) we love the tradition of gifting eternal elegance to reflect upon our good fortune, to wish for more good luck, and to reinforce virtues like patience and diligence. So does this mean we have lots of watches in the family? Totally! But I've never been able to "double up" on the good luck by owning a wooden watch...

So when I was approached by JORD wooden watches for a collaboration I immediately said YES! What could be better than saluting my family's tradition than with a wooden watch? JORD wooden watches are hand-crafted timeless pieces for men and women that can be customized. For my watch I picked Zebrawood & Champagne for minimalist luxury. The champagne color of the dial beautifully complements all the staples of summer-style. The slim profile of the watch allows for an elegant look without being overbearing, and works well with a myriad of patterns and colors.
