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.
Adding to its collector rarity, the Galaxy is the only watch in the world signed outwardly by both LeCoultre and Vacheron & Constantin (Vacheron & Constantin and Jeager-LeCoultre shared the same distributorship in the U.S.).
Today's offering showcases this very honest and fine Mysterieuse in pleasing all-original condition. All parts are original down to the untouched dial and signed crown.
The case presents in excellent condition. The back has light wear. The facets on the lugs and bezel are crisp and have never been polished. On the wrist the case presents beautifully.
The original dial is untouched. Please inquire if you would like it restored. And its very fine handwound JLC movement is near pristine..
Our watchmaker has fully disassembled it down to the last screw and cleaned and oiled the movement and installed a correct new-old-stock crystal the same style as the original. It is keeping very accurate time.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile skin 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.
