The seven-time Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer has been collecting high-complication watches from makers like Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Rolex since the very early days of his career. For much of that time, he’s been a fan of a very particular Grande Complication, the Perpetual Calendar, a bit of horological wizardry that only the highest-level watchmakers can master. Kept powered up, a Perpetual Calendar will mechanically track the correct time, day, date, week, month, and even phase of the moon until March 1, 2100. Mayer’s deep understanding of such things—and his connections with serious collectors—makes him a valuable bellwether for the watch world, and it led Audemars Piguet earlier this year to name him Creative Conduit for the brand, just as it launched a new limited-edition white-gold Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “John Mayer” wristwatch designed over two years in collaboration with Mayer himself. |
