JORD Cassia Walnut and Vintage Rose Watch Review and Giveaway! #JORDWATCH

Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

My Favorite Accessory: A Watch by JORD

Jord (pronounced Yode) is a watch company based in St. Louis, Missouri. The name Jord is Danish for Earth. The watches are made of natural wood and other materials that make these timepieces unique and sophisticated looking.

Features I love about Jord watches:
  • The watch band may be sized for the recipient.
  • Most watch backplates can be engraved.
  • All Cedar humidor presentation boxes are engravable, as well!
  • Most watches have additional options for customization -- mixing and matching faces and woods!
  • They have a domed sapphire crystal that sits atop the clocks face for a transparent view. This is second only to diamond in hardness and scratch resistance. It also resists impact and abrasion really well.
  • They come in a variety of sustainable woods to choose from, like: acacia, bamboo, olive, purpleheart, zebrawood, ebony, and more.
  • Every watch comes with free worldwide shipping, a 1-year warranty, and hassle-free returns & exchanges.

I love the way this watch looks great with everything!

The Cassia is one of Jord's newest collections of women's watches. It is their first watch collection with a full Roman numeral dial. It is a 40mm, 2-hand classic quartz minimalist watch. It displays hours and minutes with the hands. This lovely timepiece comes in four different colorways that feature beautiful grained woods, muted dials, and luxury watch components.

JORD Cassia Walnut and Vintage Rose Watch and what it comes with.

About the Cassia:
  • With the Roman numerals it is easy to tell time with and so much classier than digital.
  • This lovely timepiece is great to wear dressed up or dressed down. Looks great paired with any outfit.
  • The metal and wood link interlaced band is seamless and has an ingenious anodized buckle that easily deploys open with a pinch of two metal clasps. It is effortless to get on one handed.
  • Easy to set the time with the crown, the little knob on the side of the watch. Just pull it out and twist until the hands come into position to set the time, then push it back in when done.
  • The full uninterrupted spherical case is made of wood and has an engravable metal core backplate.
  • The domed sapphire crystal sits in a bezel-less design and protects the watch's inner workings.
  • Features the Citizen Miyota GL20, Battery [silver oxide SR621SW (equiv)] Powered Movement (tuning fork type Quartz Crystal with a frequency of 32,768 Hz OR 1.35 V).
  • The Cassia is splash-proof but should not be submerged in water (3 ATM).
  • The wood is hand finished and pretreated with tung oils.
  • Lemon or orange oil extract is best for cleaning the natural wood.
  • When storing this timepiece, avoid extremely hot, cold, and excessively dry/humid environments.
  • Specifications...case width: 40mm, case thickness: 10mm, band thickness: 13.8mm, band length: 203mm
  • Comes with a storage box, display pillow, extra links and pins for band, 100% natural finishing oil, cleaning cloth, and care booklet.

The JORD Cassia Walnut and Vintage Rose Watch.

I received the Cassia Walnut and Vintage Rose watch. I have not worn a timepiece since I was a teen, so this is such a great treat. I have been eyeing Jord watches for many years because of their gorgeous designs and natural look.  I got this one sized to my wrist (15 1/4 cm). I love this wristwatch's color. It reminds me of rose gold which I love to wear as jewelry and the large walnut trees on my farm. This watch is of wonderful quality and craftsmanship and I believe it will last a long time. The band and clasp is so much better than others I have seen. This is a lovely and unique piece that I am glad to have in my collection and since I have been wearing it I have received many compliments.

Wordless Wednesday Jaedan's Wire Thestral Art

Jaedan made this Thestral (A bat-like winged horse creature from Harry Potter) out of wire for art.


Look carefully to see the dragon skull (carved into the wooden base) it is standing on.

Pony Feathers - My Shameless Plug For My Husband


My husband owns a business called Pony Feathers. He has a CNC (computer controlled) router (ShopBot) with which he can make you beautiful custom woodworking: signs, doors, boats, cabinetry, furniture, etc. His specialty are signs and plaques, but in the past he has made other things like: doors, a medallion for a wood floor, a partitioned bowl all cut in one piece, fireplace mantel, a rocking chair, burl mirrors and tables, trivets, custom fencing, etc. He loves thinking outside the box and working with his clients to make something truly special and unique for them.


Here are some pictures of some signs he has done. Most of these signs are located in and around Reedsport, Oregon because we lived there for a while. If you have visited Reedsport you probably would have seen at least one of these signs. From left to right and top to bottom: Thai sign in Winchester Bay (we made both top and bottom portions), Rainier Days in the Park sign for our local Chevron gas station, Portland General Electric Beaver Generating Station plaque made for a retiring friend at his work (the top lettering is raised, the metal is inset and the bottom lettering is carved out), Rowan's Apothecary & Cafe sign (again the leaf pattern and larger words are raised and the smaller words at the bottom are inset), Kidz Place sign (a transitional sign for a children's consignment and resale shop in Rainier Oregon. The bear and the block letters are raised and the letters at the bottom are inset. Then it was painted by hand), Beartown Carvings sign (made for a good friend of ours, Brad Sharp, that is a chainsaw carver for his shop), Pepa and Preston's House sign (a simple sign in different fonts), Mr. Beans sign (except for the letters this sign is cut out of a single piece of plywood. This was a fun one for him to design and watch his machine cut!), lighthouse sign made by my husband and I for the L.U.H. Home Health Hospice in Reedsport Oregon, large Hahn Memorial Park sign in Reedsport Oregon (did in conjunction with our friend Brad Sharp: Brian did the lettering and Brad did the faces on it), Jim Barrone Memorial Fields sign in Reedsport Oregon (also did in partnership with our friend Brad Sharp: Brian did the lettering and Brad did the faces on it), Flag and Blanket  People sign (we made in trade for some dolphin/whale blankets).


Here are some pictures of other woodworking projects he has done. From left to right and top to bottom: trivet with the tiles set into a piece of wood and the design of the tiles continuing into the wood as a carved design, a Myrtle wood saddle for the a Radio Flyer rocking horse (this is unfinished), the saddle again now on the horse and finished, a burl mirror, a dolphin carved out of a gorgeous piece of Myrtle wood, an eagle engraved into a beautiful piece of Burly Maple, our son's derby cars for Boy Scouts: a serpent and an alligator, a rocking chair, a burl, a church door in Reedsport Oregon for the local Episcopal Church, and part of a dolphin fence gate. Unfortunately we do not have pictures of some of the things he has made, among them are: the fireplace mantel, partitioned bowl and the medallion for a wood floor.

Right now we only have a Facebook page for our business and would love some more likes. Please if you like what you see here give us some Facebook love. Thank you!
