Swifties take note: Taylor Swift wore a vintage Concord watch, not on her wrist, but as a necklace at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Crafted in an Art Deco style and decorated with Arabic numerals and a diamond bezel, the watch was transformed into an eye-catching accessory by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. Interestingly, the watch’s hands were set to midnight, most probably a reference to her album Midnights, which was nominated for the Grammy Awards 2024 and won Album of the Year.
“Taylor Swift’s innovative use of the Concord watch as a necklace at this year’s Grammys has introduced a new chapter in the narrative of luxury timepieces as essential elements of high fashion,” said Flavio Pellegrini, president of Concord. “Her choice reflects a bold and imaginative approach to style that resonates with the essence of our brand—timeless elegance, precision, and innovation.”
