作為當下最有名氣的 rapper Jay-Z,向來在不同公眾場合展示各式各樣的腕錶,當中有 Patek Philippe、Audemars Piguet、Richard Mille 與 Hublot 等等,每一枚腕錶的設計更是內外兼修。最經典的例子,必然要數  Beyoncé 在他 43歲 時送給他一模 價值 5 百萬美金的滿鑽 Hublot Big Bang。

《VOGUE MAN》在此分享 Jay-Z 歷年的經典腕錶收藏:

Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931

獲得 23 次格林美獎的 Jay-Z ,成為第一位入選搖滾名人堂的獨唱饒舌藝人;在這紀念性時刻,他戴上 Jaeger-LeCoultre 玫瑰金的 Reverso ,配上經典西裝,輕易散發不一樣的紳士氣質。

作為積家標誌性的腕錶系列 Reverso ,源自於一項嶄新的挑戰,為了解決當時風靡的馬球比賽,腕錶常因激烈碰撞而毀損的問題,因此品牌產生了可翻轉錶殼的想法,也就是設計出一款能夠日常配戴,同時在運動時能夠翻轉以保護錶面的全新錶款,從此成為經典之作,Jay-Z 亦在多個場合展示這枚腕錶系列設計。

這是 Jay-Z 定製的 Richard Mille 腕錶,名為“The Blueprint” -是以他2001年第六張專輯命名的,當時成為有史以來最昂貴的 Richard Mille 定製腕錶,價格大約是 2, 500, 000美元。 Jay-Z  此後在不同場合如 NAACP Image Awards 展示過枚破格腕錶,它耗時 3,000 小時制作,由實心藍寶石切割和銑削而成,確保手表耐用且舒適。

Jay-Z 亦是 Audemars Piguet 的愛好者,當中收集  Royal Oak 系列為主。 Royal Oak 革命性地開創了嶄新的鐘錶類別,堪稱「柏拉圖式」的理想運動腕錶。「Royal Oak」意為「皇家橡樹」,得名自英王查理二世在流亡期間藏身其中以躲避政敵的一棵橡樹,以及英國皇家海軍的鋼鐵戰艦,意圖把精鋼重新塑造成值得尊崇的高貴形象。

但是比起貴金屬,採用高級精鋼製造錶殼其實更加困難重重,工匠需要新工具和新技術進行最後潤飾,而最後的人手拋光及霧面打磨正是賦予愛彼腕錶一貫美學特質的重要工序。

Jay-Z 太太 Beyoncé 在 Jay-Z 43 歲時曾經送予一枚價值5百萬美金的滿鑽 Hublot Big Bang作為禮物,成為一時佳話。事實上,Jay-Z 與 Hublot 關係微妙,曾經在單曲〈Otis〉已經提到品牌的名字。雙方更在 2013 年推出一款名為 Shawn Carter by Hublot Classic Fusion 聯乘,外觀設計源自與Barney的公益計畫,面盤中央則是可透視Shawn Carter (Jay-Z 原名)的個人l ogo,腕錶內部搭載2.9mm的HUB1300機芯。
