VINTAGE WRISTWATCH SPOTLIGHT
Men's Vacheron / LeCoultre 37-Diamond Mystery Dial
I photographed this gorgeous, very rare late 1950's Vacheron & Constantin / Jaeger LeCoultre "Galaxy" model Mystery Dial.
As some of you may know, Vacheron & Constantin and Jaeger LeCoultre are separate companies, but during the fifties, they were under the same corporate umbrella. The 37 diamond Galaxy Mystery Dials from this period are the only LeCoultre wristwatches signed by both factories: "Vacheron & Constantin - LeCoultre Watches, Inc.".
I love shooting products that are in mint condition, but shooting these vintage watches is not like shooting a modern watch. The factory has just put out thousands of modern watches, but some of these watches cannot be replaced. This one, in particular has the original dial, crown, strap, buckle, box and papers are included, so I had to be very, very, very careful.
