Mr. Locke’s style has always been impressively classic with cool, modern touches. So, we hit the Big Apple to get a bird’s eye view of the city with his new Jord Hyde wood watch. Here’s why he’s loving it, wears it everyday, why you’re probably pronouncing the name incorrectly – and a giveaway!
Disclosure: Jord graciously provided Mr. Locke with a Hyde Ebony & Iron watch in exchange for this post and a giveaway. All opinions are our own! #jordwatch #jordwatches
I’ve known my husband since high school and, while his sense of style is now more mature, he’s still that same kind of guy. While his shoes have gone from Chucks to Frye boots and his t-shirts to vests and jackets, he’s always loved classic pieces with a touch of trendy.
So, heading up to Top of the Rock in Rockefeller Center gave us the perfect view for checking out Manhattan, the city that will always remain classic melded with modern. It was Mr. Locke’s first visit to the Observation Deck and, even on a frigid, January afternoon, it’s stunning. Breathtaking, even.
Jord: Are You Pronouncing it Right?
At first glance, Jord looks like it should be pronounced exactly as it’s spelled. Nope! How to pronounce Jord watches is “yode”. I was told it’s just like Yoda from Star Wars without the “a”. Yes, it took me a minute to keep reminding myself of the correct pronunciation.
Jord Hyde Ebony & Iron Men’s Watch
So let’s chat for a second about how Jord wood watches have the same melding of classic styling with modern touches by using his Hyde Ebony & Iron watch as an example. First, it’s the style that caught his eye. The watch offers a large face with traditional two hands. But the modern kick is the fact it has a second’s dial.
And, instead of a metal or leather band, it’s ebony wood with iron touches. Add in the date feature and it’s classic with that modern twist that he’s all about in probably the best wood watch brand around.
Mr. Locke’s first noticed the watch’s craftsmanship. It’s a conversation piece, if I can be so bold. I own a Jord Cora with Zebrawood and Turquoise and, everytime I wear it, someone always compliments me on its beauty. Next, it was how light it is. Jord offers custom sizing so his fits beautifully and is very light on the wrist – a feature you won’t have with all-metal watches. If you want to take a step up with customization, it can be engraved, too.
Then, we started digging into what goes into the creation on a Jord Hyde watch. If we weren’t already impressed with its look, the CITIZEN MIYOTA GP11 battery-powered movement, sapphire crystal glass face, and water resistance only add to its beauty.

Another reason to love Jord wood watches is its dedication to sustainability. For example, all the info you need on the ebony wood used to create Mr. Locke’s Hyde watch is readily found on the Jord website.
