\u201cIt\u2019s been amazing,\u201d Paul Anthony Kelly\u2014the man of the hour\u2014told Vogue. The Canadian actor is still riding high after this breakthrough role as JFK Jr. in Ryan Murphy\u2019s Love Story<\/a>. \u201cThis is what you work hard for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On a balmy Tuesday evening in the Miami Design District, Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin unveiled its new flagship boutique: a sprawling two-story outpost that\u2019s now the brand\u2019s largest store in the Americas. Kelly was in town to fete the opening\u2014after all, he\u2019s been rocking Vacheron Constantin on his wrist as of late, including for his recent Oscars debut.<\/p>\n

Guests entered through a soaring atrium flooded in natural light, where terrazzo floors are etched with a compass rose motif\u2014an homage to the brand\u2019s Overseas collection. \u201cThere is no doubt that you can feel the spirit of being in Miami,\u201d Alexander Schmiedt, the brand\u2019s U.S. president, said as he gestured towards the palm-framed verdant patio and lush garden.<\/p>\n

Attendees sipped classic martinis and inventive cocktails as they tucked into trays of wagyu Cuban sandwiches\u2014a nod to a local favorite. A live set of Latin indie-pop came courtesy of La Espe before a dramatic dance performance, choreographed to Rosalia\u2019s Berghain that unfolded mid-room.<\/p>\n

Kelly moved through the crowd with ease, his presence drawing a steady stream of attention. Wearing a beige Giuliva suit with brown Di Bianco loafers and a Historiques American 1921 wristwatch, the new dad looked effortless and perfectly dialed into Miami cocktail attire. \u201cI\u2019m a big watch guy,\u201d he said as he lingered at the curated vitrines of Les Collectionneurs vintage and Cabinotiers masterpieces; a private collection that\u2019s rarely seen in public. \u201cAnd I\u2019m a nerd\u2014I want to know about the complications.\u201d<\/p>\n

That curiosity started early. \u201cMy parents bought me a really nice Seiko before I went to college, when I was just 18,\u201d he recalled. \u201cI don\u2019t even remember what model it was, but it was nice.\u201d The real gateway for his watch enthusiasm was an eBay purchase a few years later when he turned 22-years-old: a 1987 Omega Speedmaster from Japan with its original box and papers. \u201cI got it for $800,\u201d he disclosed with excitement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paul Anthony KellyPhoto by: Karine Basilio \u201cIt\u2019s been amazing,\u201d Paul Anthony Kelly\u2014the man of the hour\u2014told Vogue.
