Good but hard question to answer

I don't thing there is an ideal number.  Greater than one is a start.

I think you really have so many reasons for collecting watches for lack of a better term.  Without getting all technical you could look at it from a category  perspective with a goal of wearing your watches.  I am not addressing the non watch wearing safe queen category here. 

You need a dress watch or two, a tool watch or two, a swim/dive watch or two, a chrono or two, a complicated watch or two, a "I don't know why I bought this watch" or two, a vintage watch or two, a pocket watch or two.  That's about eight to sixteen watches.  This a good start for a horizontal approach.  Next you go vertical in the category or two you favor most and add another eight to ten watches. 

You could take a brand specific approach and remain faithful or play the field and remain non committal and free wheeling.

I think from here the sky is the limit.

Try and change watches at least once a day i.e. when you get home swap your watch for another and keep the stable happy.

Soooo much fun.
