What’s the Story Behind Taylor Swift’s Watch Necklace at the Grammys?

The timepiece, attached to a choker strap worn snug around her neck, certainly wasn’t there for her to tell the time.

Last night at the Grammys, billionaire artist Taylor Swift wore a choker necklace made by jeweler Lorraine Scwartz that was adorned with a small watch with diamonds around the bezel. Throughout the evening as she accepted two awards, including Album of the Year for her album “Midnights,” (making her the first-ever artist to win the honor four times) viewers could see the time on the watch was set to… you guessed it, midnight.

The horological sleuths over at GQ and Hodinkee have reported that the watch itself is a Concord, a defunct brand that once supplied pieces to Cartier and Tiffany, that was put on a band of mixed-cut black stones by Schwartz. Swift paired it with a white custom Schiaparelli gown.
