The Star of the Show: Chanel’s Première Sound Watch
Beyond his gorgeous $40,000 chocolate Patek Philippe Aquanaut, Wizkid sported Chanel's Première Sound watch. This limited-edition timepiece, released last month, isn't just a watch; it's a versatile accessory that doubles as a sautoir necklace and wired headphones. Priced at approximately $16,400 (€14,800), it's a prime example of how watch jewelry can be seamlessly integrated into a stylish look.

Watch jewelry has been gaining traction recently, and I've been championing this style for some time. Interestingly, singer Lana Del Rey was also spotted wearing this particular Chanel piece last month. However, this is the first time I’m seeing it on a celebrity out and about. Wizkid's bold styling of the watch as part of a menswear ensemble is a significant moment. For me, tt suggests that watch jewelry isn't just for women; it's a unisex trend with the potential to dominate the Autumn/Winter season, which is very very exciting.
