Nordgreen Watches – Superior Quality Timepieces For All!

May 27, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

The Nordgreen mission is to create classic Scandinavian designs for watches that truly meet the bar set by other famous Scandinavian designers (but without the price-tag).

Jakob Wagner, the well known watch designer who has worked with Bang & Olufsen, Hay, Muuto, and many more is also behind the Nordgreen watches.

The Philosopher is the watch that I was able to review for myself. This Nordgreen watch is designed to be an instrument of time, and it celebrates the ability to think differently. The shape of the case is conical, with a base wider than its face, creating a sharp characteristic two-piece dial that brings us hurtling through time to this moment now. The watch case has an elevated, and clean brushed look because of the way that the lugs tug under it. The asymmetric second hand that appears to continuously slice through time reminds us to learn from the past, act now, and create a better future.

One of the other unique things with the Nordgreen watches is that all of our straps come with a “quick-release” function, allowing you to change the look of your watch within a matter of seconds. And best of all, no tools are needed. This means then that you can have different straps that will completely change the look and feel of the watch itself.

Another great things is that a Nordgreen owner can enter their watch’s serial number and identification number on their Giving Back Program page, learn about the three causes that they contribute to, and then choose the cause that they believe in the most. A watch can contribute to saving 200 ft² of rainforest in Latin America, provide one month of clean water to a person in the Central African Republic, or provide two months of education to a child in India. This is because they’ve partnered with these three NGOs to give back; Cool Earth, Water for Good, and Pratham UK

Below I have shared more of my thoughts on Nordgreen Watches

Spring Cleaning with JORD!

March 23, 2017 by dadofdivas 2 Comments

After a long winter spring cleaning is a great time to refresh and renew your home and I know for my family this is a time to simplify too. We will go through things to get rid of things as well as to make repairs around the house as well. Below are a few tips that may be able to help you participate in your own spring cleaning.

5 Spring Cleaning Tips

When it comes to spring cleaning, work from the top down, inside to outside, to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again.
When tidying, reduce trips around the house by temporarily depositing items in one spot en route to but not at their final destination.
Make small repairs. If you’re not handy, hire someone.
Don’t stand your brooms on their bristles. It will destroy their shape and diminish their effectiveness. Instead, get a broom holder, like the Magic Holder 5-position broom organizer.
Do one room, even one area of one room, at a time to avoid unfinished jobs.

Also, with the end of Winter, you can also wash away their blues by working on your style. One way that I know that I do this is to find accessories that will accent your personal style. JORD watches do this for me. Recently, I have tried out the brand new Conway JORD watches.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE CONWAY!

The Conway is JORD’s first chronograph watch for men.
Chronograph watches are traditional display watches with the addition of stop watch functionality.
Chronograph watches were originally invented and used for tracking astronomical objects in the sky!
Chronograph watches are now popular in aviation, racing, diving, and most athletics where precise time-tracking can be utilized.
Many fashion chronograph watches on the market, don’t actually work! They just have the chronograph look on the face, but JORD’s Conway is a true operating Chronograph watch and uses the Citizen Miyota 0S10/0S1A movement.

Quality and Artistry on your Wrist Wearing a JORD Watch!

April 26, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Quality and Artistry on your Wrist Wearing a JORD Watch!

The JORD watch is a beautifully created watch that also has a huge artistic flare too. You see, I work in a professional environment and love to look my best. Not only do I try and look good from the clothes that I wear, but also in the accessories that I place on myself too. Recently, I have just learned about a watch that is simply beautiful.

In looking at the JORD watch company, these Watches Made From 100% Natural Wood by JORD
, I was really impressed that it is run by artists, designers, marketers, and minders. If you look at their mission they state that they spend their “days creating, considering, arguing, and hopefully agreeing. Then we’ll scrap it all for the joy of starting new. We have fun. This is our journey”.

They work to create timepieces that are modeled after a modern lifestyle. They also value sustainability, efficiency, and experiential living.

So the great folks at JORD sent me a watch to try myself and everything that I was reading about the company was solidified through the experience that I had in wearing this great watch.

The watch was beautifully crafted and with every link you can see the craftsmanship that went into the creation of the watch itself. Because they have you measure your wrist before you get the watch, you receive a watch that fits you perfectly too.

I was also impressed with the color of the watch that I received as well as how light the watch was too. When you wear this watch you will find that it feels that you are wearing anything.

Overall, I have been wearing this for a little over a week and I cannot tell you how many people have complimented me on the watch itself. I am so glad that I have found this great brand and I will definitely be looking at other JORD watches for myself in the future and you should too!

Modify Watches ( @ModifyWatches ) Allow You to Take Style into Your Own Hands #Giveaway #Win

October 20, 2011 by dadofdivas

A throwback to those candy colored and neon bands of the 90s, Modify Watches are interchangeable (offering 13 fierce faces and 9 stylish straps) and affordable—at just $45/combination (and multiple ‘kits’ to get more for your dollar). For the novice Modifywearer you can choose from predestined combinations like ‘Bar Fight’ black and blue or ‘Dimples & Pimples’ pink and red. If you really feel like living on the edge, choose a color combo of your own (although we know how busy you are and don’t blame you if you don’t have time—no pun intended).

And, because Modify Watches don’t discriminate, they even have pieces for stiff-suit dad (Argyle anyone?) and your picky pre-teen who will like totally only wear yellow right now.

Modify Watches are modular – you can mix together any face and strap to make a combination, or Mod, that fits you. They’ll be coming out with new designs frequently, so follow them on Facebook and Twitter to get the lowdown on when the new styles will drop. More than that, they want you to help us determine what designs to create, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to them with your thoughts.

For me, I had the opportunity to modify a watch myself, and this time I thought of my wife instead of just me. I had her look at the site to see what she would choose, and though her first pick was out of stock, she decided to go a bit crazy and try a green faced watch with a pink band. I know… it was a bit out there, but she enjoyed it and found that the when we received the watch that she really liked it. The fact is a bit larger, but that means it stands out and lets your fashion shine. The great people at Modify Watches even sent a second band for me and I think this looks like even a watch I would wear… grey is a great color (at least for me).

I was impressed with the number of great watch options that they had and what was nice was that the price of the watch was reasonable and they are always coming out with new ideas that you can use to modify your own watch!

Now This Is An Awesome Watch

June 20, 2010 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Voctorinox Swiss Army. All opinions are 100% mine.

Growing up I always remembered my father wearing a watch. Whether it was a watch that was used outside for grubby tasks or more a more formal watch that could be worn to work, he always had one on. Today, I am similar to this and enjoy wearing watches. Granted I am not the type of person that tends to spend a lot of money on my watches (I am frugal). I have to say that I appreciate a good watch, and recently I have found one that I think would be a great one to wear and own. The watch I found was the Victorinox Swiss Army Watch. This watch would be a great watch to share with my own father or even to keep for myself!

I grew up with Swiss Army Knives, and I have to say that this watch made me smile. It seemed to have a bit of everything as the knives always did, and thus, you would never have to wear another watch at all.

One of the things that I truly appreciated about these watches was the high quality nature of the watch itself as well as the fact the watch itself is backed by a three year limited warranty and is only available through official jewlers that have been approved by the Swiss government (impressive)!

If you have an interest in possibly winning a watch for yourself, become a fan of the watch itself on facebook by visiting the Facebook IWAW sweepstakes page.

By visiting, you have the chance to win one of 30 watches over 30 days (Now that is a fathers day gift)!
