Not that the following has much to do with Telecom, but I seem to remember some years ago seeing a wrist-watch television by, I think, Seiko. It had an LCD screen on a wristband, and a separate small box for the actual TV tuner electronics. I think it had an earphone jack, too. It didn't seem all that practical, and had a hefty (~ $400) price tag, but it certainly was an existence proof for TV-on-the-wrist.
