Is two-timing in vogue?
Okay, not the one you might think. The other kind, where one dons two watches on both their wrists, also popularly known as double wristing. My earliest memory of this phenomenon was noticing Yasho Saboo, founder of India's biggest luxury watch retail store, Ethos Watch Boutiques, sporting two interesting timepieces on both his wrists some seven years ago. Since then, I have regularly spotted many stalwarts of the watch industry double wrist locally and internationally, especially at watch fairs.
This phenomenon of double wristing is not new. Historically, we have seen many celebrities and personalities double-downing horological masterpieces in their stylistic preference. From Fidel Castro wearing two Rolex watches in the Kremlin back in 1963 to Princess Diana double wristing (albeit on one wrist) to Prince Charles's polo match in the 1980s, these are historical examples of the long-standing yet gradually rising trend of double writing. Recently, we have noticed celebrities like Chris Patt, Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber, and Drake flaunt their double wristing game. One of the most extreme instances of double wristing in the public eye was when Nicolas G. Hayek, also called Mr Swatch, would wear close to eight watches on both his wrists.
