The Grammy Awards, like many of the highest profile ceremonies in entertainment, invariably prove rich grounds for not only celebrity watching, but catching glimpses of the world's most famous timepieces and the finest jewelry. This past Sunday, at Los Angeles's Staples Center, that tradition carried itself on in fine style, as Chris Harrison--the TV host known to countless viewers from ABC's "The Bachelor" series--walked the red carpet while wearing a sporty stainless steel Raymond WeilNabucco Chronograph watch.
While some fashionistas might argue that a large chronograph watch on bracelet is not an ideal selection for an elegant occasion, Sunday's events proved that the combination can be quite effective. Sporting a pinstriped black suit and matching shirt minus a tie, Chris Harrison appeared decidedly dapper with the imposing 46mm Raymond Weil Nabucco on his wrist. Part of the appeal can certainly be attributed to the intricate patterned black dial with its gleaming hour markers and complex subdial framework, as well as the low-key refinement of the brushed titanium-accented stainless steel case and bracelet. In all, the watch generated a powerful yet extremely stylish presence that ably complimented the relaxed elegance of Harrison's attire and personality.
Regardless of their own stylistic preferences, owners of the Raymond Weil Nabucco Chronograph watch will enjoy a recognizable luxury object that offers true versatility and impressive technical performance. The watch features a screw-down crown and chronograph pushers, both of which are instrumental in helping the model achieve a warranted water resistance rating of 200 meters. Protected inside the case is a Swiss-made self-winding mechanical movement with rapidly adjustable date display and a chronograph complication on three counters. A tachymeter scale engraved on the bezel allows the watch to record average times with ease, and the subdials at 3 and 6 o'clock permit the tallying of elapsed chronograph minutes and hours, respectively. The handsome dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, through which the distinct hour and minute hands with their luminous indications can easily be referenced. Pricing for the Raymond Weil Nabucco Chronograph is in the mid-$4,000 range.
