At the recently concluded Tony Awards in New York City, Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet dressed the proceedings at Radio City Music Hall in its own regalia.

Gregory Jbara (pictured here with his Millenary Pianoforte watch) took home the Tony for his role in Billy Elliot, The Musical. Constantine Maroulis, nominated for a Tony for his performance in Rock of Ages, also wore the very same watch.

Also on display were eight solid aluminum clocks (pictured here), which lined the red carpet. These were decorated by the nominees for Best Musical and Best Musical Revival to represent each of the current season’s musicals.

These clocks were auctioned off for the benefit of performing artists shortly after the curtains came down on the Tony Awards.
