LEICA ZM MONOCHROM EDITION
The new Leica ZM 1 and ZM 2 Monochrom Editions are an iconic reflection of Leica's M Monochrom camera, celebrating the fundamental principles of black and white photography: contrast and light.
The minimalist design of the Leica ZM Monochrom Edition allows the exquisite craftsmanship to speak for itself. Both the ZM 1 Monochrom and ZM 2 Monochrom are distinguished by a jet-black PVD-coated, satin-finished stainless steel case and bezel that absorb light, yet reveal the depth of black and grey tones. The blackened watch hands, indices, and sub-dial bezel are rhodium-plated for a matching discreet appearance.
To complement the robust aesthetic of the ZM Monochrom, the timepieces’ black wristband is made of strong, full-grain veal leather, with a complimentary PVD coated buckle, echoing the leather covering of the Leica M11 Monochrom.
The new Leica ZM 1 Gold Limited Edition stands as a tribute to the storied heritage pioneering and craftsmanship of Leica.
Limited to 50 pieces, this timepiece is a modern homage to the first Leica camera made of gold – the Leica I Model A Luxus, introduced in 1929. With its construction reflecting the precision and passion for design inherent to the Leica brand, it is a testament to the art of essential design.
The distinctive dual-metal case of the ZM 1 Gold Limited Edition has been expertly forged by esteemed artisans. The case is made from 18k 4N gold (33.43 grams of fine gold) and features a horizontally brushed finish that sweeps elegantly across its surface and onto the lugs. The polished bevels cut a distinguished figure, offering a lustrous counterpoint to the matte sheen. The remaining structural elements are fashioned from robust Grade 5 Titanium, a material esteemed for its use in the aerospace and automotive sectors.
The watch's face is the canvas, in which the dial showcases hues born from skilled brushing techniques that create a deep, iridescent play of light. Complementing the dial, the indexes and hands are delicately galvanized, casting a resplendent golden glow that mirrors the warmth and luxury of the golden case.
At its heart, the unique hand-assembled Leica Calibre LH-1001 movement features our innovative patented push-crown – a significant milestone in watchmaking, echoing the function of a camera's shutter release as time is stopped. This feature brings a novel twist to the routine of setting time, marrying the worlds of precision timekeeping and Leica photography.
The Leica ZM 1 Gold Limited Edition is finished with a strap that sets the standard for quality. Responsibly sourced from a certified U.S. farm, the alligator leather undergoes a natural tanning process at a premier Italian tannery, achieving a refined grey-brown shade. Each strap is hand-stitched with the utmost care in Geneva, ensuring a seamless blend of durability and elegance.
