The Grammy Awards have always been a stage for more than just music. Style, glamour, and attention to detail share the spotlight. This year, while gowns, tuxedos, and statement jewelry captured headlines, the real stars of subtle sophistication were the watches. From bold chronographs to sleek minimalists, the 2026 Grammys red carpet proved that a wristwatch can speak volumes, signaling both taste and status. Here’s a closer look at the timepieces that kept us watching the watches almost as closely as the performances themselves.
J. Balvin
ICON MENA cover star alumni J. Balvin rocked an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Quartz “JUMBO”. The 39mm yellow-gold watch, iced out with 1,528 yellow sapphires, was a sight to behold.
Jonathan McReynolds
Jonathan McReynolds won Best Gospel song and performed at the 2026 Grammys, wearing a Tudor Black Bay S&G watch in steel and yellow gold with a silver dial.
Miles Caton
Miles Caton may be young, but he isn’t new to the wrist game. Celebrated for his outstanding performance in Sinners (2025), the young talent accessorized his look with a Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph in 18k King Gold. The watch featured a skeleton dial and a simple black rubber strap. The piece of art mirrored the talent and modernity of the actor-musician.
Lefty Gunplay
American rapper Lefty Gunplay ended his night with an award for best rap song by a Latino artist for his contribution to Kendrick Lamar’s “tv off”. The rapper paired his signature diamond grills with a iced-out custom Rolex Datejust. If that wasn’t enough, the two-tone watch’s yellow gold bezel featured a set of beautifully cut diamonds.
Robert Gueringer
Robert Gueringer, more famously known as Freaky Rob, also wore a Rolex Datejust Oyster. This time, entirely frosted in diamonds.
