Leica ZM 2 Monochrom
The Story Behind the Leica Watch
In May 2012, the world's only camera with a dedicated black-and-white sensor was introduced – the Leica M Monochrom. That camera became the embodiment of our minimalistic brand culture: an excellent, needs-oriented tool completely dedicated to black-and-white photography. It’s a camera unlike any other that focuses on the most fundamental photographic principle: the composition of images based solely on light and shadow.
The new Leica Watch Monochrom Edition continues the Leica Monochrom story, honoring the most fundamental principles of black and white photography: contrast and light. The distinctive design of the Leica ZM Monochrom Edition removes all color and silver tones, with the exception of the red dot, achieving a truly minimalist aesthetic, revealing depth within simplicity and creating a harmony between two of Leica's outstanding products.
The Leica ZM 1 Monochrom & Leica ZM 2 Monochrom will be exclusively sold starting May 15th at Leica Store LA and Leica Store D.C.
