Swiss luxury watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre is adding a fashion icon to its ranks of ambassadors. Musician, actor and designer Lenny Kravitz — who was honored by the Cfda last year with its Fashion Icon award — is joining the Richemont-owned house as its newest face.

Kravitz has loved watches since he was a kid, when he first became curious about the chronograph timepieces owned by his father, tv news producer Sy Kravitz. “I think I started with my father because he had these cool watches in the ’70s that I loved to look at and hold and play with. I wasn’t allowed to really, but I used to grab them and play with...

Image Source: Getty / Dimitrios Kambouris Zoë Kravitz is practically synonymous with the word cool. But given her parents - rock star Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet - how could she not be?

The singer-turned-actor talks about his parents' influence on his new album, his role in The Hunger Games – and his other passion: upholstery and interior design

"You obviously didn't come here from the UK with that tan, now did you?" says Lenny Kravitz, shaking hands with a friendly smile.
