CelebWatch: The Best Watches We Spotted At The Grammys This Year

 

UPDATED FEBRUARY 2024

Considered the glitziest night in the music calendar, The 65th Grammy Awards stole the show for other reasons…luxury watches. We are talking about arm candy but of a different nature! And Jay-Z’s Patek Phillipe Grandmaster Chime was just the tip of the horological iceberg last year.

But time moves on. What luxury timepieces have stolen the show this year? Read on to discover what sparkled on and off the red carpet at The Grammys 2024.

Best Luxury Watches We Spotted At The 2023 Grammys

 

Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5723/1R-001 - Trevor Noah

3 time Grammy host Trevor Noah strutted down the red carpet in style for February’s big bash wearing a very rare Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5723/1R-001.

If you want to buy a Patek Phillipe Nautilus, secondary market prices have gone through the roof over the last few years, with some fetching in excess of £700,000.

Made from stainless steel, remember this doesn’t have any complications rather just three hands with a simple date function. In fact, there’s still a near 10 year waitlist for a Nautilus…that’s if you even got approved. Yikes that calls for a timeout.,

Mind you, this hasn’t stopped the South African comedian and former host of The Daily Show. This hot “grail” watch features 18k rose gold with baguette diamonds surrounding the bezel. But why should he be shown up by the likes of Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez?

In fact he had as nearly wardrobe changes as both divas but it wasn’t clothes that he changed…it was his watch. Paparazzi and watch fiends everywhere worked up a sweat when he swapped his timepiece for an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Chronograph halfway through.

Noah has an impressive watch collection. But there was one special piece he pulled out for the 62nd Grammys, The special edition Rolex Everose Gold GMT-Master II. Paired with a glitzy tuxedo, this beauty has a unique ‘Pepsi’ bezel adorned with gems, crown guards and diamond-set lugs. 

Unveiled on the quiet (apparently) by the Swiss brand in 2020, they are very few and far between.

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date - Ryan Hurd

Sporting the white gold version, the singer songwriter was clearly wanting to make an impact with timeless and minimalist looks. The dual retrograde shows why Vacheron is at top of their watchmaking game outlining their intricate mechanical complexity.

With a nod to the 1950’s as seen in the super refined case, this can also be worn by the modern gent. 

Beating at 4Hz, it is home to a retrograde hand-type day and date setting, openworked caseback and the sublime hand-finished self winding movement, the calibre 2460 R31R/3. 

With 276 components, 27 jewels and a 40 hour power reserve, buy a Vacheron Constantin like this and it will set you back a retail price of £43,200.

Richard Mille RM 88 Automatic Winding Tourbillon Smiley - Pharrell Williams

Now it’s time for the smiliest of watches that trod the red carpet…Pharrell Williams sporting the Richard Mille RM88. Yes, not too shabby for the happy chappy who wrote a song all about it.

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Created some half century ago by Franklin Loufrani, the yellow Smiley has symbolised pop culture for decades. Oozing positivity and boundless optimism, The Richard Mille RM 88 Automatic Winding Tourbillon Smiley does exactly what it says on the horological tin.

Taking three years to develop, the in-house automatic tourbillon calibre is the definition of high class technique and unconventional creation. No wonder the brains behind Milkshake and Frontin wanted to drop this bad boy like it's hot.

The former NERD producer’s eclectic wardrobe most certainly matches the visuals on this watch. Surrounding the Smiley’s beaming face, there’s a selection of bizarre objects from a pineapple and pink flamingo to a dark green cactus and cocktail complete with pink umbrella.

Heck, there’s even a vibrant rainbow and a small second hand with a lightning bolt thrown in. 

But it’s the unique craftsmanship that makes people want to buy a Richard Mille watch. Designed by engraver Olivier Kuhn, each of the gold micro sculptures weigh less than a gram. The tourbillon had to be created to ensure the design elements didn’t distract from the main element.

Consequently, the CRMT7 openworked calibre emerged. Beating at 4Hz, it has a 50 hour power reserve, hour, minute and function display as well as a red gold ring case. 

Offering high scratch resistance, the bezel and caseback are made from ATZ ceramic in case he has any unnecessary scrapes with those Cristal bottles. Limited to just 50 pieces, this originally retailed at nearly £1 million.

If you intend to buy a Richard Mille RM88 now, I doubt you would have such a happy face as they are as hard to spot as Lord Lucan.

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Eye of the Tiger” - DJ Khaled

Renowned DJ, rapper and record producer DJ Khaled is apparently quite taken with Rolex so is the word on the horological street.

And he definitely has an eye for timepieces when he showed up with the oh so smart Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Eye of the Tiger”. Now, rainbow watches are doing the rounds like wildfire with the Rolex Daytona Rainbow more than doubling its value since 2018.

This latest iteration is no different. Rolex consistently produces some of the best watches in the world but they are also responsible for manufacturing some of the most outlandish timepieces, keeping rivals on their toes. 

Buy a Rolex like this and you are entering a realm of exquisite craftsmanship with a little bit of marketing mystery. This is thanks to the trapeze-cut diamond bezels which you don’t get ten to the dozen.

Featuring 36 cut diamonds, the execution of this watch is there for all to be seen. Is it the most daring Rolex watch on the market? No, but it’s enough to grab people’s attention.

In its extensive manual Rolex goes on about the watches  “champagne-colour chronograph counters intertwined with black lacquer and diamonds.”

Yet, there are numerous features that will make you want to buy a Rolex like this. Measuring 40mm, it has a solid 18ct gold Oyster case which houses an impressive Rolex calibre 4130, identical to every single Rolex Cosmograph Daytona.

Meanwhile, it is fitted with an Oysterflex elastomer strap with an integrated blade that is both metal and flexible that connects to the structure.

Gone is the Cerachrom ceramic bezel, replaced by 30 plus invisibly set trapeze-cut diamonds, side by side. Invisible setting has been deemed as the trickiest of techniques in the watchmaking world.

With an original retail price of around £88,000, the Rolex Daytona 116588TBR is a beautifully executed watch. This is because you just don’t really see invisibly set baguette bezels being produced on a regular basis.

Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 6300G - Jay-Z

The talk of the town and the whole watch community has to go to Jay-Z, rocking Patek’s most complicated wristwatch - the Grandmaster Chime.

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

His wife Beyoncé was breaking different records for capturing the most number of single Grammy awards during the show. Released in 2017 at an eye popping £1.8 million, even billionaires have to fork out when they buy a Patek Phillipe for swanky soirees like The Grammys.

Yet the Rocawear icon has worn it on a number of different occasions. Let’s rewind time to 2019 when Jay-Z was spotted celebrating P Diddy’s 50th birthday with the outlandish Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime reference 6300G.

Adorned in 18k white gold, it is considered one of the most talked about watches in the world.

Boasting 20 different complications with some elements being able to alert the wearer which stage the moon phase is in, the Grandmaster Chime can tell you the date right up to the year 2100.

The hip hop mogul may have 99 problems…but a watch ain't one!

Best Watches Seen At The Grammys 2024

Time waits for no man and The Grammys 2024 was a very fruitful endeavour for all concerned.

We saw the likes of Taylor Swift winning her fourth album of the year award, Luke Combs strumming along with Tracy Chapman to her legendary track Fast Car and SZA emerging with nine nominations and three Grammy wins.

Another busy event for the folks within the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

First off the horological bat, we saw a host of spooky horological goings on, including a custom made, black diamond watch choker by Lorraine Schwartz on Taylor Swift which was carefully turned to read midnight.

Forget John Mayer’s watches, this was the talk of the carpet. Was it possibly an ode to her winning “Midnight's” album? Maybe.

Without revealing too much too soon, let’s see what wonderful pieces we spotted this year at the 

2024 Grammys. 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 77350CE.OO.1266CE.03.A - John Legend

John Legend may not have been on the billing for any major awards, but he certainly turned the event into a funky date night for him and his partner, Chrissy Telgen. 

While they were romancing it up, us connoisseurs fell in love with something completely different… Enter, The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding.

Sized at 34mm, the watches are crafted out of black ceramic and secured with 18K pink gold screws, secured with sapphire crystal and locked in with an exhibition sapphire caseback.

Crafted with the iconic Royal Oak inspired octagonal bezel, it frames the fantastic black dial with a sublime Grande Tapisserie finish.

We don’t need Mick Jagger here to paint it black. 

This allows the Royal Oak, pink gold hands and hour markers to clearly stand out, especially since they are filled with Super-Luminova. Equipped with a black ceramic bracelet, these timepieces were the perfect match to John Legend's slinky fitted black suit. 

You can buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding at retail for £47,500 as of February 2024. 

Jacob & Co Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette Rose Gold Ruby AT800.40.BD.BR.A - Maluma

Mr Mauma, you need to calm down with that horological finesse going on!

While he was nominated for the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album (narrowly missing out to folky winner, Gaby Moreno), he wouldn’t have been too depressed given his diamond encrusted Bose earphones, Dolce and Gabbana suit not to mention his ostentatious Jacob & Co Astronomia Tourbillon.

Talk about pimping out your wrist. Crafted out of 18K rose gold, one of the best Grammy watches we have seen over the years features four sapphire crystal to allow an unhindered view into the majestic openworked dial. Fitted with 80 invisibly set baguette cut diamonds on the lugs and 342 on the dial, it measures 50mm and features 257 rubies on the dial. 

Most interesting of all is the gravitational triple axis tourbillon. Accompanied by a magnesium globe that rotates around the dial, the Astronomia Tourbillon is powered by the JCAM10 calibre which offers a 21,600VpH and an impressive 60 hour power reserve.

That’s enough time to take his Grammy and parade it on the ski slopes of Aspen.

To break it down, the Triple-Axis Tourbillon really does relate to a gorgeous three axis tourbillon. The first axis runs at around 60 seconds, the second takes 5 minutes to complete its rotation and the third runs every 20 minutes. 

Capped at just 9 pieces, you can buy a Jacob & Co Astronomia Tourbillon at retail upon request for a price. 

Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang Essential Grey - Asake 

Asake was nominated for Best African Music Performance at The Grammys 2024 but just missed out to Tyla who’s sterling “Water” track captivated the nation.

Asake kept his smile and his watch game firmly fixed, opting to adorn a black suit with a large silver chain, alongside a very tasty Hublot Big Bang Essential Grey.

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Given the classic barrel, tonneau case shape that has characterised the Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang watches, it is crafted out of titanium throughout, including the case, bezel and crown. Capped at 100 pieces, the watches have an openworked dial which boasts the complex intricacies of the HUB4700. 

This calibre is the offspring of the iconic El Primero from back in 1969, the same year as the gorgeous Omega Speedmaster landing on the moon strapped to Buzz Aldrin’s wrist.

Running at an astonishing 5Hz, which is around 36,000VpH, they allow an accuracy of around 1/10th of a second and a total power reserve of 50 hours. 

Versatile yet impactful, it is water resistant to 100 metres and locked onto a grey fabric strap for that everyday style that can be easily pulled off adorning swimming trunks or a burgundy suit.

You can buy a Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang Essential Grey at retail for £20,800 as of February 2024. 

Cartier Tank Louis WGTA0011 - Jack Antonoff

We appreciate the works of the artists at the Grammys 2024. However none of it is possible if you don’t have a solid producer behind you.

Winning Producer of the Year for his role in developing Taylor Swift’s fantastic Midnight album, Jack couldn’t contain his grin!

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

We don’t want to degrade his work, but us timelords certainly appreciated another piece of work that caught our eye more than his lengthy acceptance speech…the Cartier Tank Louis.

Measuring 33.7mm by 25.5mm, the timepiece is a fantastic addition to any gentlemens formal ensemble. 

This Cartier watch is made from 18K rose gold and fitted with its signature blue, sapphire cabochon crown

Built into the legendary rectangular case inspired by the WW2 F-17 Renault tanks, the watches mimic the brancards of the Renault Tanks that founder Louis Cartier saw during his stint in the Western Front. 

Most definitely ahead of its time and has remained an enduring figurehead in their lineup for over a century. Given a silver dial with black Roman numerals, it is powered by the 1917 MC calibre which offers an uninspiring 38 hour power reserve. 

Strapped onto a brown leather strap, Antonoff rocks this timepiece alongside a white shirt with a black jacket to illuminate the rose gold beauty.

You can buy a Cartier Tank Louis at retail for £12,500 as of February 2024.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26470OR.OO.A002CR.01 - Busta Rhymes

You might be shouting “Gimme Some More” when we inform you of our next best watch spotted at the Grammys 2024. 

Busta Rhymes, one of the godfathers of rap, famed for his fast firing rap speed and a total of 11 Grammy Award nominations. 

came to the prestigious awards ceremony dressed in a silky white suit with a black bow tie. But we ain't here to give you the lowdown in the fashion stakes are we. You are here for the best luxury watches.  

Whether he was there for the free bar or just to scout out potential competition to his illustrious career (or timepiece), Busta Rhymes rolled in flexing a sumptuous Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore in rose gold.

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Now discontinued, the 42mm timepiece is a brilliant representation of the Royal Oak Offshore line that was originally released in 1993. And who do we have to give props to for the design of this line…our man Gerald Genta.

Perhaps the Busta Rhymes of luxury watches, he is responsible for all manner of aesthetically pleasing, desirable and influential novelties such as the IWC Ingenieur and Patek Phillipe Nautilus with integral porthole inspired case design.

Produced In a robust 42mm rose gold case, the watches boast a chequered, golden dial face that allows the black Arabic numerals and subdials to be further enhanced. 

Featuring the memorable visible screw bezel style, they are powered by the 3840 movement which offers a 21,600VpH and a 50 hour power reserve. Affixed to a black leather strap, Busta Rhymes takes no prisoners by letting this gem shine against his silky white tux. 

You can no longer buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore at retail as it has been discontinued.

However, if you want to “Touch It,” it does sell on the secondary market for upwards of £29,300 as of February 2024. 

Cartier Santos WSSA0063 - Fireboy DML

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.

This next best watch spotted at The Grammys certainly set the stage alight.

Nominated for Album Of The Year, Fireboy DML is a young upstart that is still waiting to get his hands on a Grammy!

Winner of City People Music Awards for Most Promising Act of the Year in 2019 and more recently the winner of Headies award, Best Afrobeat Single (Nigeria) for “Peru”, Fireboy DML is slowly becoming a huge player in the R&B and Afropop circles. 

Wearing jewelled up rings and sparkly bracelets, he sported black shades (probably because his future's so bright) and a rather attractive Cartier Santos WSSA0063.

Sized at 41.9mm of steel, the watches are given a squared case with a perfectly formed seven sided crown. There is a jolt of colour in the form of a navy blue spinel.

Given silvery Roman numerals and hands, they clearly stand out against the navy blue dial. 

Capable of reaching 100 metres of water resistance, the watches are electrified by the 1847 MC calibre which offers a 40 hour power reserve. Although not weekend proof, this is one we think you can showcase to colleagues in and out of the office or on that well deserved vacation.

Connected to an integrated steel strap, Fireboy DML pulls this off with an all black suit and patterned black shirt.

You can buy a Cartier Santos at retail for £6,750 as of February 2024. 

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon 6007V/210G-B955 - Jon Batiste

Jon Batiste may have been the most upset gent at the Grammys.

Why? Well, this poor soul was nominated for a range of awards including Best Record, Best Song, Best Improvised Jazz Solo, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best American Roots Performance, but was beaten in every single one!

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Yet Batiste stole the show at the Grammys 2024 for altogether different reasons thanks to his imposing Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon. Crafted out of 18K white gold, the watches are fitted with a bezel made up of 60 individually cut baguette diamonds

The navy blue dial face offers its classic Maltese Cross styling in the form of the open-worked tourbillon residing at 6 o’clock.

Fitted with diamond hour markers and lume filled silver hands, the watches are powered by the Calibre 2160 which offers an 80 hour power reserve and skips away at 18,000VpH or 2.5Hz.

One of the best watches at the Grammys, they are fitted with a white gold bracelet which Jon Batiste pulls off with a multi-pocket grey suit jacket and trousers. 

You can buy a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon at retail when you request a price. 

Panerai Luminor Quaranta BiTempo - Noah Kahn 

Please don’t sing Season Of The Sticks. TikTok has already infused it into my brain! Noah Kahn stepped up at this year's Grammys nominated for Best New Artist.

Unfortunately, he was narrowly beaten by R&B star, Victoria Monét.

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Noah Kahn still posed for the camera’s though with a great grin (we wonder why!) and looked quite the discernet gent with a beautiful Panerai Luminor Quaranta BiTempo on his wrist.

Sized at 40mm of brushed steel, these Panerai watches are given a polished steel bezel and an iconic, large crown guard. And there’s nothing more we like at Chrono Hunter HQ than an oversized crown guard.

Given a black dial with luminous Arabic numerals, batons and hands, there is a small date aperture at 3 o’clock alongside a very handy small seconds counter at 9 o’clock. Water resistant to 100 metres, the second hand is fitted with a blue arrow tipped hand which enhances their legibility.

The P.900 GMT calibre beats at a steady 28,800VpH and has a fantastic power reserve of 3 days. Connected onto a black leather strap, Noah Kahn opts to go all black with a tidy bow-tie to compliment the timepiece. 

You can buy a Panerai Luminor Quaranta BiTempo at retail upon request for a price. 

Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph Tiffany 5961R - Jay-Z

You just knew the Jigger Man was going to make an appearance at some point during the Grammys 2024.

Following his previous presentation of the epic Patek Phillipe Grandmaster Chime with more complications than you can shake a stick at (think perpetual calendar, moonphase, petite sonnerie and minute repeater among others!), Hov is back with a bang.

This time round it’s nothing to do with his passionate speech about Beyonce’s snub for Album of the Year. Oh no. Transfix your peepers for a second on the all encompassing Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph Tiffany dial reference 5961R. Stamp included.

Source - BuzzFeed via Getty

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Crafted out of rose gold and measuring 40.5mm, The 5961R is water resistant to a mere 30 metres. Therefore, we wouldn’t advise you going near a sink or a shower for that matter if you want to get your soak on.

After all, these watches are not dive watches. Far from it. 

They are suitable for flaunting on and off the red carpet, private yacht and strolling through that uber luxurious 5 star lobby. The bezel is set with 36 baguette diamonds and secured with a fold over clasp that contains 22 baguette diamonds.

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Given a matte black dial face, the diamond hour markers and sword shaped rose gold hands are accentuated beautifully on this chronograph.

It is given a date aperture at 12 o’clock, a day and a month aperture at 10 and 2 o’clock while there is a handy flyback chronograph at 6 o’clock offering maximum legibility. 

Powered by the Calibre CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H, the movement offers a steady 55 hour power reserve with a 28,800VpH beat. Connected to a black leather strap, Jay-Z wore this with a black suit and looked like a billion, let alone a million dollars when he accepted his Dr.Dre Global Impact Award. 

This special Tiffany dial edition bolsters its rarity as the watch was made in collaboration with the iconic jewellery brand. Featuring Tiffany text on the dial, this vintage piece is a stunner and might be Jay-Z’s best watch yet. 

That’s right, hotter than the 1 of 4 rarer than rare Patek Philippe reference 2499 in gold that he owns. I’m sure he can ask his long time chum Pharrell Williams to “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and enjoy some wrist time or swapsies with his Richard Mille RM 88 Automatic Winding Tourbillon Smiley.

You can no longer buy a Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph Tiffany at retail. It sells on the secondary market for a cool £240,000+, as of February 2024. 

A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 - Luke Combs

Country musician Luke Combs strums a few chords on stage with Tracy Chapman, gets nominated for Best Country Solo Performance (but was beaten by Chris Stapelton’s White Horse track), and still finds a moment to get his horological game up to speed.

Take it easy, Luke!

He had his wrist grabbed by Ed Sheeran who’s a bit of a watch aficionado himself and found it necessary to show the world the scintillating A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1. Crafted out of 950 platinum, the 41.9mm watches are perfectly polished to a tee.

Combs opts to go one step further with a customised diamond bezel, because… Why not?

Given a jet black dial face which showcases a jumping calendar aperture at 10 o’clock, an off centre dial and a moonphase complication at 7 o’clock, the watches are powered by the L021.3 movement which has a 50 hour power reserve and a staggering total of 621 components. 

Connected with a black alligator leather strap, Combs wears a velvety suit in order to boost his flex appeal.

You can buy an A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 at retail when you request a price as of February 2024. 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked “Cactus Jack”

Travis Scott gave a very heartfelt performance following his alleged snub for Best Rap Album. Performing tunes like My Eyes and Fe!n, he and Playboi Carti proceeded to start smashing chairs about.

You’re going to be okay, Travis!

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

However, he smashed it in an altogether different sense through his collaboration timepiece with Audemars Piguet. Entitled The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked “Cactus Jack” this drop with Travis Scott’s official brand, Cactus Jack with AP measure 41mm of chocolate brown ceramic.

This is Audemars Piguet’s first venture into this distinctive material. 

The dial itself features Cactus Jack’s iconic typography as hand drawn by Travis Scott himself, including the subdial at 9 o’clock featuring his logo, words and number being written in his handwriting. 

The skeletonised dial allows the completely illuminated sub dials, hour markers and hands to clearly stand out. The watches are powered by the Calibre 5135, offering a 40 hour power reserve and a 19,800VpH or 2.75Hz

Fixed into an equally brown leather strap, Travis Scott’s edition has a ravishing rainbow gem bezel, making this piece unique even rarer. He wears an all black ensemble during his performance, allowing us to see those gems truly sparkle with complete majesty

You can buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Cactus Jack at retail upon request for a price as of February 2024. 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 26240OR - Tay Keith

Tay Keith eagerly sat with the rest of the rich and fabulous at the Grammys, awaiting his call out for Best Rap Song “Rich Flex” featuring Drake & 21 Savage.

Missing out to later handcuffed Killer Mike for his track Scientists & Engineers, Tay Keith seemed pretty upbeat in his camo coloured shades and ensemble. But more importantly, what timepiece was he rocking?

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Receiving a nomination in the 2019 Grammys for Best Rap Song, he built up his success after his track “Look Alive” blew up and pushed him to the forefront of rap.

Yes, horophiles. We’re getting to his watch in a tick! For the Grammys 2024, he opted to wear a gorgeous and elegant Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Chronograph in rose gold. 

Sized at 41mm, the 18K pink gold watches feature all the brilliance of the Royal Oak line, including the octagonal bezel with visible screws and integrated rose gold bracelet, pertaining to the sports-luxury background of the watches. 

They feature a khaki green dial with a Grande Tapisserie finish which allows the khaki green subcounters to clearly stand out. Furthermore, the rose gold hour markers and hands, all fitted with a strip of Super-Luminova are clearly promoted across the case.

They are powered by the Calibre 4401, offering a 70 hour power reserve and 28,800VpH frequency. It provides great features like a flyback chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds and a date aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock. 

Tay Keith wore perhaps the strangest outfit at The Grammys this year, featuring what appeared to be a Minecraft inspired jacket and trousers…and matching sunglasses. However, it’s from Louis Vuitton so we won’t mock too much!

You can buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 26240OR at retail for £67,900 as of February 2024. 

Conclusion

With the amount of Grammy viewers increasing from 12.5 million viewers from 2023 to around 16.9 million in 2024, we can only expect people were tuning in for Travis Scott’s upset… It’s no surprise then that the big events draw the biggest luxury watches and top luxury brands

And we didn’t even have time to mention a few other major spots… Coi LeRay adorning a jewelled up Jacob & Co for example was another horological winner on the night.

Waltzing around, picking up awards like Best Pop Dance Recording and Best Rap Performance requires a watch with as much sass and refinement as you. Coi LeRay goes one step further by not just owning a Jacob & Co, but ensuring it’s completely coated with diamonds.

Pairing it with a green feather boa and YSL outfit, fashion has never looked so expensive.

And besides, diamonds aren’t just a girl’s best friend…are they?
