Celebrity Watch Spotting at the Grammy Awards 2024 in Los Angeles

The Grammy Awards 2024, one of the music industry's most anticipated nights, just wrapped up last Sunday, leaving us all in awe. This star-studded event brought together a lineup of incredible musicians like Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, and the innovative 'Cactus Jack' Travis Scott, known for his collaboration with Royal Oak. The night was packed with electrifying performances and unforgettable moments.

During the ceremony, Taylor Swift clinched the Album of the Year award with her latest hit "Midnights," Miley Cyrus took home the Record of the Year for her chart-topping "Flowers," and Billie Eilish's "What was I made for?"—a track that gained fame through Barbie—won Song of the Year. But the highlights didn't stop there.

Held at the iconic Crypto.com Arena in the heart of Los Angeles, the 66th Grammy Awards saw Trevor Noah return as host for the fourth consecutive year, bringing his unique charm and humor to the event.

But beyond the music and accolades, the Grammy Awards were also a showcase of luxury and style, particularly through the exquisite watches that graced the wrists of many guests. From dazzling timepieces to sophisticated chronographs, the watches were as much a part of the event's glamour as the performances themselves.

I want to start this wrist check at the Grammy Awards 2024 with the singer Maluma. He took the spotlight, wearing an exquisite $1 million Jacob and Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette Rubies watch.

This magnificent timepiece boasted 257 impeccably arranged baguette rubies that glittered intensely on the red carpet, embodying a unique fusion of gem-cutting, gem-setting excellence, and top-tier watchmaking that is distinctive to Jacob & Co creations.

Featuring a globe made from blue-lacquered magnesium with white gold continents, the design is precisely balanced to ensure equal weight across its four satellites. The globe completes a rotation every 60 seconds and makes a full orbit around the dial in 10 minutes, illustrating an unparalleled level of precision and beauty.

Taylor Swift made a stunning appearance on the Grammy Awards' red carpet, wearing the evening's most buzzed-about jewelry piece. At the 66th Grammy Awards, Swift turned heads with a custom Lorraine Schwartz black diamond watch choker. Initially, it seemed like a Cartier piece, but it turned out to be a dazzling diamond-accented choker featuring a vintage Concord watch encircled by white diamonds at its center, crafted by Lorraine Schwartz. Schwartz is famed for adorning celebrities from Pharrell to Beyoncé with exquisite jewels. Swift's choice, set to midnight, nodded to her latest album "Midnights."

Her necklace, a striking combination of a black diamond choker and a Concord watch, came paired with multiple layers of diamonds, totaling 300 carats, also by Schwartz. This standout piece followed the trend of celebrities accessorizing with watches as necklaces and anklets, echoing Rihanna's style of wearing a $400,000 Jacob & Co. timepiece around her ankle at the Las Vegas F1 Grand Prix and as a choker at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton show in Paris.

Rapper and music producer Jay Z attended the 66th GRAMMY Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, wearing an impressive 5961R Annual Calendar Chronograph. This timepiece boasts a 40.5mm case crafted from 18K rose gold, complemented by a bezel adorned with 36 baguette-cut diamonds. The ebony black opaline dial is highlighted by 8 baguette-cut diamonds serving as hour markers.

Retail price: $160,000.

Travis Scott performed live at the 2024 Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, wearing his unique Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Rainbow 'Travis Scott' in brown ceramic, part of the newly released collaboration with Cactus Jack. 

The case and bracelet studs are entirely crafted in brown ceramic, a first for the manufacture. The watch features numerous design elements that reference Cactus Jack's aesthetic codes, evident on the case, the sapphire dial, and the brown textured calfskin leather strap.

Representing Germany at the Grammys, country singer Luke Combs chose to wear an A. Lange & Söhne Little Lange 1 Moon phase with diamond bezel. 

This model was introduced in 2021. The bezel is set with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds (Top Wesselton VVS, approx. 1.20 ct.). The dial is crafted from solid silver and faced with dark-blue gold flux. The hands are made of rhodiumed gold.

Retail price: €58,600.

Singer Jon Batiste attended the Grammys 2024 wearing a white gold 42.5mm Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon High Jewellery 6007V/210G-B955.

A tribute to the spirit of travel, this 18K white gold watch stands out with its bezel set with 60 baguette-cut diamonds. It features an ultra-slim movement, only 5.56 millimeters thick, and a tourbillon cage inspired by the Maltese cross. Equipped with a 22K peripheral rotor, it reveals the entire movement through the openworked caseback, offering an exceptional caliber with a power reserve of more than 3 days. Thanks to its clasp and a system of three easily interchangeable straps – 18K white gold, leather, and rubber – the watch can be customized to suit the owner’s preferences.

The iconic rapper Busta Rhymes chose an Audemars Piguet Royal Offshore 26470OR in rose gold completed with the classic alligator strap. The face is fitted with three black subdials, large black numerals, and a black date display at 3 o’clock. You can expect to pay around $40,000 for the chronograph on the secondary market. 

John Legend wore a legendary Audemars Piguet Royal Oak on Sunday evening. The self-winding Royal Oak in question features a 34 mm black ceramic case, a black grande tapisserie dial, and striking pink gold accents. The watchmaker's signature is also displayed in gold beneath the sapphire crystal.

This timepiece can also be found in Cardi B watch collection.

Market price (Feb 2024): ~$70,000.

Jack Antonoff, the Producer of the Year, graced the red carpet sporting a fashionable Cartier on his wrist. The featured Tank Louis Cartier is a sizable 33.7 mm model that boasts an 18-carat rose gold case, a silvered dial with black Roman numerals, blued steel hands, a beaded crown adorned with a sapphire cabochon, and a brown alligator strap. This elegant timepiece comes with a price tag of $13,000.
