Watches at the 2024 Grammys

As the pinnacle of recognition in the music industry, the Grammy Awards showcases the best of creativity, both in entertainment and fashion. Every year, it’s not just the performances, gowns, and tuxedos that steal the spotlight; luxury watches have become an essential accessory, too, for the stars on the red carpet. At the 2024 Grammys, these timepieces took the concept of style and elegance to an entirely new level. Check out out favorite watches from the 2024 Grammys.

Busta Rhymes – Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

Hip-hop icon Busta Rhymes popped up at the 2024 Grammys in an unassuming black and white tux – a far cry from his typical statement-making looks. He completed his attire with a sporty yet sophisticated Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore in rose gold.

A bolder spin on the classic Royal Oak, the watch is distinguished by a 42mm octagonal body and a Mega Tapisserie dial with a black border for the tachymeter scale. Aside from contrasting black chronograph counters, the face is adorned with large Arabic numerals and a date display at 3. The addition of an alligator leather strap enhances the watch’s visual appeal. Photo from Busta Rhymes on Instagram

Jack Antonoff – Cartier Tank Louis Rose Gold

Pop mega-producer Jack Antonoff looked modest but dapper on the red carpet, wearing a double-breasted suit with no tie and a Cartier Tank Louis on his wrist. First introduced in the 1920s, the Tank Louis is the purest representation of the iconic Tank, with a refined, Art-Deco charm.

The three-time Grammy winner for Producer of the Year chose the rose gold model in the large size, measuring 25mm x 33mm. Its silvered guilloche dial incorporates signature Cartier design elements like the blued steel hands, a railroad track, and black Roman numerals. The rounded brancards blend beautifully with the brown leather strap. Video from the Recording Academy / Grammy’s on Instagram 

Luke Combs – A. Lange & Sohne Little Lange 1 Moonphase 182.886

Luke Combs is more than just the down-to-earth singer-songwriter we’ve come to know; he is also a big watch aficionado. His collection is mainly composed of classic and rare timepieces — for the 2024 Grammys, Luke donned a dressy A. Lange & Söhne Little Lange 1 Moonphase.

Launched in 2021, Luke’s choice model perfectly balances femininity and masculinity. It is characterized by its white gold finish, deep blue aventurine glass dial, and matching leather strap. The star-shaped indices and gold moonphase disc give the watch a ton of visual depth, while the diamond bezel adds extra sparkle. Photo from A.

Jon Batiste – Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon High Jewellery

Jon Batiste was perhaps the first person to walk the red carpet wearing the exquisite Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon High Jewellery. Released in 2023, this watch blends technical prowess with luxurious aesthetics.

This version of the Overseas introduces two firsts to the line by combining white gold with a sunburst blue dial. Furthermore, the bezel is embellished for the first time with 60 baguette-cut diamonds, highlighting the watch’s structural form. The Maltese cross-inspired tourbillon cage reveals the ultra-thin Caliber 2160, which has an 80-hour power reserve. Photos from Vacheron Constantin and Jon Batiste on Instagram

Jay-Z – Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5961R

Jay-Z was this year’s recipient of the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award for his achievements across his multi-decade career. As he hoisted his trophy, he was seen wearing one of the brand’s complex offerings – the Patek Philippe Complications Annual Calendar 5961R.

The American rapper went for the rose gold model, complemented by a gem-set bezel. The ebony black opaline dial is accentuated by eight baguette-cut diamond indices, while the rose gold-outlined sub-dial and black leather strap round out the already stunning look. Photo from Patek Philippe and Video from CBS TV on Instagram
