If you are not alreay aware of "Steampunk" as a genre, then you probably should be -- because in my opinion mechanical television fits right in with the general theme.
Back to the Future part 3 had a bit of steampunk style in it, I think. Remember Doc Emmet Brown's inventions back in the 1880s? The use of victorian manufacturing techniques with 'modern' technology. I recall a movie named 'Young Einstein' with a bit of steampunk-style technology, too.
A wearable mechanical television would out-do all of these
