It’s been a long time coming.
Taylor Swift showed off another new addition to her growing designer watch collection Saturday when she attended friend Ashley Avignone’s birthday party in New York City.
Swift, 35, sparkled from head to toe, flashing a diamond-encrusted Panthère de Cartier watch worth a whopping $32,200 in photos Avignone, 40, posted on Instagram Sunday.

The new timepiece wasn’t the only piece of diamond jewelry that the “Bejeweled” singer wore; she also sparkled in the $36,000 DeBeers earrings she’s been wearing on repeat lately and a Tiffany & Co. ring ($2,675) she’s worn on stage.
The pop star arrived at exclusive members club Chez Margaux in the Meatpacking District with boyfriend Travis Kelce, who brought holiday cheer in a waxed denim red jacket ($980) and pants ($690) set by Nahmias.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 35, also wore a Saint Michael T-shirt, a Nahimas trucker hat ($250), Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses ($975) and black Louis Vuitton x Timberland boots ($2,850).

Saturday night’s party wasn’t the only NYC night out for the couple this weekend. On Friday, they went out on a double date with producer Jack Antonoff and his wife, actress Margaret Qualley, at BondST restaurant.
While she skipped a watch for her Friday night out, this marks the third new designer piece she’s worn this year.

On Nov. 10, she attended the Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos game in a Versace skirt suit, finishing the very business-like look with a $54,000 Louis Vuitton gold watch with a round face.
And just a few days later, she wore the same timepiece for a girls’ night out in NYC.
It’s quite unusual to see Swift with the accessory — however, the clock motif was at the center of her “Midnights” album era, and she caused a frenzy in February at the 2024 Grammys when she wore a Lorraine Schwartz custom-made vintage watch as a choker necklace.
That night, Swift announced her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” and later frightened fans when she brought back the diamond-covered accessory in June while out with famous pals in London.

While Swifties are still left scratching their heads about the meaning of her ticking necklace, it could be that Kelce is the one growing his girlfriend’s appreciation for watches.
The Super Bowl champ is known for his affinity for Rolexes, reportedly gifting an engraved version to BFF and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for his birthday in October. The tight end also owns multiple styles of the Swiss brand’s watches himself.
Page Six exclusively reported that Kelce “showered” Swift with gifts for her Dec. 13 birthday, including engraved gold jewelry — perhaps a red Cartier box was among her many presents?
