On Sunday, February 5, the 65th Grammy’s Awards, the biggest night for world music, was held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. It was an incredible showcase of artists and stars of the notes (and more) and, of course, an opportunity to show off your favorite timepieces. Amidst excess, one-of-a-kind pieces and marvels of craftsmanship, we bring you a selection of the timepieces that impressed us the most.
At least in this way we try to forget the bitterness of Måneskin’s
Jay Z’s Patek Philippe ref. 6300G
In this edition of the Grammys, Jay Z not only closed the evening by joining Dj Khaled in a performance of the single “GOD DID,” but more importantly he accompanied the divine Beyoncé, who won yet another Grammy, becoming the most awarded artist in the history of the ceremony.
For the occasion, Jay Z – well-known a collector – did not disappoint watch enthusiasts, showing off the stunning Patek Philippe Ref. 6300G, Grandmaster Chime.
This is the most complicated Patek Philippe ever, a true gem of manufacture. The reversible case with hand-guilloché Clous de Paris motif is distinguished by its patented rotation mechanism. This extraordinary timepiece features no fewer than 20 complications, including five sound functions, two of which are patented world exclusives: the preset hour chime and the date repeater that chimes the calendar day at will.
Kendrick Lamar’s Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 mm
To collect his 15th Grammy, this time in the “best rap album” category (“Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers”), Kendrick Lamar wore a Rolex Perpetual Oystersteel 41 with a light turquoise dial.
This is a discontinued watch (only the 36 mm and 31 mm versions remain in the catalog) and highly sought-after, which made the “Tiffany” color “go viral.”
DJ Khaled’s Rolex ‘Eye of the Tiger’
DJ Khaled closed the Grammys evening with a spectacular performance of the single “GOD DID” joined by Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay Z and John Legend, all seated around a lavish table, recreating a sort of “Last Supper.”
For this evening, DJ Khaled chose to wear a typically “rapper’s” watch that is scenic, opulent, and striking: the Rolex Daytona 116588TBR “Eye of the Tiger.”
Featuring a dial with a black and gold wave pattern, reminiscent of a tiger’s coat, it is framed by a diamond bezel. The Oysterflex bracelet creates a dynamic contrast to the brash richness of the case. A certainly unassuming model for those who are not afraid of being noticed….
Trevor Noah‘s Patek Philippe Nautilus in rose gold and diamond bezel
TV host and actor Trevor Noah captured the photographers’ flashes with an elegant Gucci look, sublimated by the beautiful Patek Philippe worn on his wrist. In particular, Trevor chose to wear a gold Nautilus with a diamond-enriched bezel, representing the quintessential sports-elegant watch.
Jack Harlow’s Rolex GMT Master II
The 24-year-old rapper Jack Harlow stunned with a distinctive look in a caramel-colored suit and black leather gloves. One could not fail to notice in this outfit the detail of the Rolex GMT Master II “Batman.”
A cosmopolitan watch designed to tell the time in two time zones simultaneously, the GMT-Master, launched in 1955, began as a navigational tool for professionals traveling the world.
Jack Harlow chose the model with a two-tone Cerachrom bezel in blue and black ceramic and caliber 3285.
Pharrell Williams’ Richard Mille RM 88 Smiley
Always iconic in his extravagant looks, producer, singer and designer Pharrell Williams stunned once again with a red matelassé leather outfit, jeweled teardrop glasses and a striking timepiece.
It is the brand new Richard Mille RM 88 Automatic Winding Tourbillon Smiley model with a white case and yellow strap (we talked about it in the article: Richard Mille RM 88 Smiley: The Best Way to Start the Day).
In a limited edition of 50, it is definitely the perfect watch for the artist, who became famous precisely with the hit “Happy”…
Williams is a testimonial and big fan of the watch company, with which he has collaborated for years. He has often been seen wearing the RM 031 High Performance, RM 70-01 Alain Prost, and the RM 52-05 Pharrell Williams.
