Sporting not just one but two luxury watches—one on each wrist—Abhishek left fans and fashion enthusiasts buzzing with curiosity behind this style choice.

Take a look:

Interestingly, Abhishek is not the only one in the Bachchan family to embrace this dual-watch look. Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan has also been spotted wearing two watches on multiple occasions, fueling speculation about whether this is a unique Bachchan style signature. Well, to feed your curiosity, here's the reason behind Abhishek's unconventional choice of wearing two watches.

Why does Bachchan wear two watches?

According to a 2011 report by India TV News attributed to PTI, this habit has a heartfelt origin in the Bachchan family. The actor once revealed that the tradition started with his mother, Jaya Bachchan.

"The trend of wearing two watches was started by my mom (Jaya Bachchan)," Abhishek explained. "Since I used to stay in boarding in Europe, she used to wear two watches to know the time of both places. Later on, even dad followed her style to be aware of both the time zones. They used to talk to me according to the time in Europe. And this is the main reason for wearing two watches, but dad also made it a fashion now with the upcoming movie (Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap)."

Amitabh Bachchan’s take dual watch trend

Amitabh Bachchan, too, has spoken about his love for wearing multiple watches. Reflecting on this habit, he shared, "Yes, I used to wear two and sometimes even three watches in my normal life. I used to do it for fun or when I wanted some change, so I would do something amusing like this."
