I sometimes wear a pocket watch and watch chain. The chain has a 1.2" bar attached to it. (The watch is attached to the other end of the chain.) I put the bar through my jacket lapel's boutonniere buttonhole, thereby anchoring the bar to the outside surface of the lapel. The chain hangs down behind the lapel, and goes into the breast pocket (where the watch rests).
Few people I've run into can figure out what the bar is and what purpose it serves.
Here's FDR wearing one (with a student society key attached):
