Apple is starting to toss Apple Watches at celebrities like the wearables are Viagra at the Playboy Mansion. Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld just flashed his custom gold link bracelet on Instagram, and now Sam Smith is showing off his new timepiece — which was hand-delivered by Jony Ive himself.

The Grammy-winning singer met up with Apple’s design chief yesterday and posted a picture on Instagram of what looks to be a stainless steel or gold Apple Watch with a green Sport band. Smith was stoked to meet Ive, even though he still doesn’t know the proper name for Apple Watch.

“I’m actually the happiest boy in the world right now,” said Smith on Instagram. “Just met Sir Jonathan Ive and he is the sweetest man in the world. He’s given me the new Iwatch!! It’s SO SICK!! Feels like Christmas.”

Smith joins the likes of Pharrell, Katy Perry and Drake as some of the first pop stars seen wearing the Apple Watch Edition ahead of its April 24 release.
