Mystery watches. This is the Zodiac Astrographic. A fun piece with "mystery" hands (seconds, minutes and hours).
Got me thinking about other watches with "mystery" hands.
I know about the JLC Mysteure and the Vianney halter "mystery" rotor.
The ultimate mystery might be the Haldiman H8 which is the central tourbillion with hands (not to mention the H9 which has a blackened crystal so that the wearer cannot see the dial at all).
Curious to know if there are other watches out there that utilize the "mystery" (i.e. the sapphire discs that are not visible to the casual viewer).
(Spelling Edit)
