Gettin’ Hitched? Jordan Jack is the Warby Parker of Men’s Wedding Rings

Jordan Jack | Wedding Band Home Try On

Thirteen years ago, Jordan Yoder was fresh out of school and just getting started in the jewelry business. After some time working for a large wholesale jewelry manufacturer, he was inspired to start his own custom design business. As he was creating his own engagement rings and wedding bands, he noticed how much stress and how little selection was involved in the process for customers shopping for the perfect jewelry for their big day. “I always loved the branding and marketing side of the business,” Yoder says, “But it was a real challenge to create a jewelry brand for retailers because they all wanted their own white label goods. There was a major pain point in the industry, an industry that hasn’t seen a lot of change over the years.” That’s when he decided to create Jordan Jack, a new startup that takes the Home Try On model of successful companies like Warby Parker and applies it to the oft-fraught wedding ring buying process.

“We wanted to make the process simple, fun, and stress-free. A couple’s engagement time should be about spending time with your loved one and really enjoying selecting the style of band that fits you best,” Yoder explains. Jordan Jack aims to replace stale, limited, frustrating traditional wedding band shopping with a pressure-free experience that allows men the time and space they need to select a ring they’ll be truly happy to have on their finger for the rest of their lives. “People are busy today and planning a wedding is stressful enough, so we wanted to create a solution where at least one thing was easier in the process.”

Here’s how it works: the groom-to-be logs on to Jordan Jack and selects rings they’d like to try out. There’s a printable sizing chart available on their website and the company recommends ordering a couple different sizes to try on to ensure you find the best fit for you. “Comfort is number one,” Yoder says, “A lot of people, men especially, have never worn a ring or a band, so it can feel awkward at first … I definitely recommend ordering different sizes in all the rings you select — that way you can really feel the difference between full and half sizes. This will ensure you get the perfect fit. If you’re really not sure what you want, I would suggest ordering bands with different widths as well. It’s always best to order a variety and refine from there.” Once you’ve made your picks, the company will ship up to five rings to your home for free (along with a ring sizer that will help you confirm your size), and you’ve got three full days to really live with the bands before choosing which one suits you best. Once you’ve made your decision, just return the Home Try On box, log on to the website to order your chosen style, and you’ll have your perfect ring within days.

Jordan Jack currently offers 60 ring styles and is working on additional designs every month. “We’ll continue to expand our assortment with new materials, cool designs, and additional diamond products throughout the year,” Yoder explains. The current selection has plenty of variety, with rings available in Gold, Silver, Titanium, Cobalt, Tantalum, and Sterling Silver. The designs are unique and varied, with features like diamond accents, subtle textures, dual tones, and handsome inlays. “We really do have a band for everyone,” says Yoder, “Regardless of your style, metal preference, mm thickness – there will be a solution for you.”

If you’ve been dreading that prenuptial trip to the jeweler, it’s certainly worth giving Jordan Jack a try. The Home Try On is completely free, and with such a creative selection you’re likely to find exactly what you’re looking for without ever having to step foot in a mall or big box jeweler.

Grand Seiko’s claw-inspired watch costs $16,400
Angular evolution: Grand seiko's tokyo lion tentagraph features brilliant hard titanium construction
Grand Seiko Tokyo Lion

Grand Seiko added a watch to its Tokyo Lion collection— the Sport Collection Tokyo Lion Tentagraph. This watch comes with the brand's first mechanical chronograph movement and holds to the angular design that has set the series apart since 2019. The watch costs $16,400 and will be available in August 2025. This 43mm watch shows a clear step forward for the collection.
The lion sign stays important to Grand Seiko's identity—it stands for how easy a watch is to read, how long it lasts, how comfortable it feels, and how good it looks. This symbol has been part of the brand's history since 1960. The Tokyo Lion collection turns this symbol into a bold, angular shape that copies a lion's paw through its geometric form and surface finishes.
The newest Tentagraph watch shows more of the feline idea. Its surfaces have hairline finishes that look like claws, and this design brings out cat-like shapes across the case. The watch measures 43mm across and 15.6mm thick—these large sizes catch the eye right away. The watch feels good to wear because of how it is shaped to the body.
Grand Seiko uses Brilliant Hard Titanium in the Sports Collection for the first time. This metal is twice as hard as regular stainless steel. The alloy looks brighter than common titanium and also resists rust and scratches better, which is needed for sports watches.
The chronograph buttons have a new shape—this change makes them easier to use when someone is active. The three small dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock look three-dimensional. A Lumibrite coating on them makes sure a person can read them in all light, from bright day to full dark.
A brown silicon rubber strap comes with the watch, it has a lion's paw design on the back that adds a subtle design touch. The strap bends easily, so it feels good to wear. The case back has a slight curve. These details make the watch comfortable to wear in many places, and the watch also holds out against water down to 200 meters.
The Tentagraph Caliber 9SC5 is the main technical feature. It has a chronograph part that works at 5Hz. This fast-moving part runs for 72 hours on one charge and also protects against magnetic fields up to 4,800 A/m—these are important features for a modern sports watch.
The chronograph functions add to the Tokyo Lion's sports appeal while keeping the collection's specific look. Grand Seiko's mechanical skill joins with its angular design idea, forming watches that go against how people usually think about sports watches.
People can get the watch in August 2025. It will be on Grand Seiko's website and at stores that sell its watches, this makes it easy for people around the world to buy good Japanese mechanical watches. The $16,400 price shows the better materials, the in-house movement, and the special design that set Grand Seiko's sports watches apart.
This Tentagraph shows Grand Seiko's continued step forward in expensive sports watches. It shows how old Japanese craftsmanship can take on modern design styles while keeping its technical lead and wearing comfort for demanding uses.

Gaming meets horology in Hamilton’s Death Stranding 2 timepiece
Hamilton's Kojima collaboration creates futuristic death stranding 2 timepiece
Hamilton Death Stranding 2 watch

Hamilton takes its first step into gaming by working with Kojima Productions to make a special watch for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. This work shows a change from the brand's well-known movie projects, such as Interstellar, Dune: Part Two, and Indiana Jones—it represents Hamilton's initial move into interactive entertainment.
The partnership joins Hamilton with game designer Hideo Kojima, whose studio works under the motto "From Sapiens to Ludens" while reshaping interactive entertainment. Death Stranding 2 continues the science fiction story of Sam—this story happens in a post-apocalyptic place where life and death mix through emotional plots, exploration, and strange pictures.
"Hamilton was a perfect choice as a partner to design and create a product set in the near future. Please take this watch in your hands and experience the product that connects the world of the game and the real world," explains Hideo Kojima, emphasizing the bridge between virtual and physical experiences.
The American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition displays a titanium case build with black PVD treatment that draws from Hamilton's original Boulton plan. The light, rust-proof structure shows smooth, curving lines that copy the game's distinct look while holding up well.
Seven sapphire crystals form the watch's most noticeable part. One main crystal sits in the middle, and six others pair along the case, this setup creates shifting light and a science fiction feel. The crystal layout shows the game's strange design ideas while helping people read the time.
The simple dial plan shows future plainness through grey hour markers, a bright orange seconds hand, and looped open hands that reflect the sapphire crystal pattern. A matching black PVD titanium bracelet finishes the rough, technical look suitable for post-apocalyptic journeys.
The watch includes a three-hand automatic movement with 25 jewels and an 80-hour power reserve. A Nivachron™ balance spring offers resistance to magnetism, shock, and temperature changes—these are necessary traits for surviving tough places, both virtual and real.
Art director Yoji Shinkawa worked on the design, combining Hamilton's movie history with the game's future setting. This work shows how classic Swiss watchmaking can adapt to current entertainment forms while keeping its technical quality.
The company produced 2,000 individually numbered watches. Each watch comes with special game-themed packaging that adds to its collector appeal. The work shows Hamilton's growth past traditional cinema projects into the growing gaming entertainment area.
This release puts Hamilton at the front of watch-gaming projects while honoring both brands' dedication to creative storytelling through their respective crafts.
