    I believe that buttonhole on jacket lapels were originally for pocket watch chains.

    My guess regarding the fashion above is that one does not want extra chain in the pocket to mar the watch, so the slack is taken in that manner.

    I have started to wear a pocket watch when using a waistcoat. I used one years ago as a musician because a wristwatch made the sets seem long.
