When it comes to aesthetics, for some collectors topping the chart of the Jaeger-LeCoultre's special vintage wristwatches is the exquisite LeCoultre/Vacheron & Constantin Galaxy Mystery Dial. Named after the way the hour marker mysteriously floats around the dial, seemingly unattached to the rest of the watch yet keeping perfect time, these exceptional wristwatches captivate the imagination.

Today's offering showcases this fine Mysterieuse that presents in pleasing condition.

This model ref. 615-208 is usually signed both LeCoultre and Vacheron & Constantin (Vacheron & Constantin and Jeager-LeCoultre shared the same distributorship in the U.S.), although this model is one of the less common LeCoultre only versions.

The case presents in beautiful condition, and the dial is original and untouched.

Our watchmaker has freshly disassembled its very find handwound movement down to the last screw and cleaned and oiled the movement. It is quite pristine and keeping time.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new Teju lizard strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
