In the earliest days of the pocketwatch, it was considered good taste to wear two watches on ones person, in part to show ones personal wealth, but mostly so that the time could be averaged out from the accumulated differences in their display. Remember, timepieces in the 18th century were all mechanical, and were not even as accurate as todays mechanicals, and no where near the accuracy of quartz. so there is really nothing wring with wearing two timepieces. It's just harking back to the fashions of the day. I personally see nothing wring with wearing two timepieces.
