Round-UpCelebrity Watch 2024: Jacob & Co Shines Bright At The Grammy Awards 2024
Our ‘celebrity watch’ shifts focus back to the Hollywood awards season, with the Grammy Awards 2024. The greatest honour in the world of popular music, the Grammys this year were buzzing with the likes of Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. Here are a few of the watches seen on music’s biggest night

Jacob & Co Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette Rose Gold Ruby
Maluma At The Grammys 2024
Colombian popstar Juan Luis Londoño Arias—better known as Maluma—made a splashing appearance at the Grammys 2024 wearing a classic black-and-white tuxedo, with an oversized bowtie. To offset his ensemble’s neutral colour palette, he picked a watch from one of the flashiest watch collections that you could possibly come across today. This was a rose gold Astronomia watch from Jacob & Co. The American brand of Swiss-made watches have associated with various popular musicians, including Rihanna. Like others, who have been seen wearing Jacob’s watches over recent years, even Maluma was wearing a gem-set novelty—one priced at approximately USD 1 million, according to the brand. With a 50mm-wide ‘showcase’ of a structure—including a sapphire crystal domed glass and case bands—the watch houses a base paved with baguette-cut rubies, on which a carousel with four arms is mounted. Aside from the timekeeping and a tourbillon cage, diametrically opposite each other, the carousel also includes a globe and a 288-facet Jacob-cut diamond on the other axis. All four ‘satellites’ complete one round of the dial in 20 minutes. This all runs on a 60-hour manual-winding in-house calibre.
Jacob & Co jewelled timepiece
Coi Leray At The Grammys 2024
Another musician, American rapper Coi Leray was wearing a far more traditional jewelled timepiece than Maluma’s, and it was reportedly also a Jacob & Co watch. This diamond-paved timepiece was in sharp contrast against Leray’s very edgy attire on the Grammys 2024 red carpet.
Panerai Luminor Quaranta BiTempo
Noah Kahan At The Grammys 2024
Nominee for ‘best new artist’, Noah Kahan turned up at the Grammys 2024 wearing a Panerai watch. A newer edition from the brand’s signature Luminor collection, this is the Quaranta BiTempo. What the watch is about is literally in its name, as ‘Quaranta BiTempo’ is simply Italian for ‘40 two-time’—a reference to the case size and the dual-time feature of this watch.
