1950s LeCoultre Diamond Mystery Dial

Why This Watch Matters This LeCoultre 14k-white-gold diamond mystery dial watch is full of whimsy with a seamless optical illusion. Another reason why timepieces are regarded works of art. The Full Story The mystery dial still remains as one of the more interesting dial designs today. The concept of a mystery dial was made famous by Cartier with its celebrated mystery table clocks. Instead of the traditional hour and minute hands, two round diamond markers are placed on two different discs layered on top of each other to act as the hour and minute hands. This LeCoultre piece was for the U.S. market; these pieces were often made with cases in 14k white gold as opposed to 18k gold, which was more common in Europe. This watch would look chic on a man or a woman’s wrist, and is a sure conversation starter.
