Leica Watch

Made in Germany. Measured Like a Leica.

Leica builds its watches the way it builds its cameras: mechanical, precise, and just like their optics and cameras, made to be used and enjoyed every day. Time keeping tools for telling time along side our favorite time telling tools that elevate the experience as much as they serve their purpose.

Automatic

Automatic: Put It On and Go

The ZM 11 and ZM 12.

The ZM 11 and ZM 12 are the Leica watches we'd hand to anyone who wants one watch for everything. A self-winding movement keeps them running while you wear them, and the red-dot strap release works just like taking a lens off a Leica: press, swap, done. It's the detail people smile at when they try one on in the store.

Automatic · ZM 11

Leica ZM 11

Steel or titanium, and the easiest Leica watch to live with.

Automatic

ZM 11

The one we'd wear every day.

A 41 mm case in brushed steel or sandblasted titanium, under sapphire and water resistant to 100 m, so it goes from desk to dinner to the ocean without a second thought. The stamped dial pattern is drawn from a camera shutter, and the red-dot button releases the strap or bracelet the way you'd release a Leica lens. Inside is the Leica caliber LA-3001, developed with the Swiss movement maker Chronode.

Best for One watch for everything: work, travel and the water, with a strap for each.

Leica ZM 12

The same Leica design in a 39 mm case.

ZM 12

The ZM 11's design, sized down.

The ZM 12 takes everything we like about the ZM 11, the automatic movement, the shutter-pattern dial and the red-dot strap change, and puts it in a 39 mm case. On a smaller wrist, or under a shirt cuff, it wears beautifully on a wide range of wrist sizes. 

Best for A smaller wrist, or a dressier fit.

Manual Winding

Hand-Wound: A Small Daily Ritual

The ZM 1 and ZM 2.

The ZM 1 and ZM 2 are where Leica's watches began, and they're the ones enthusiasts collectors tend to linger over. You wind them by hand each morning, a few turns of the crown, much like advancing a roll of film. If you enjoy the mechanics of a thing as much as what it does, start here.

Manual Winding · ZM 1

Leica ZM 1

Leica's first watch, wound by hand.

Manual winding

ZM 1

Where Leica watches began.

The ZM 1 launched Leica's watch line, and it still shows the most of what Leica was thinking: a hand-wound movement made in Germany, a clean dial with a power reserve display and small seconds, and a crown Leica patented to switch between winding and setting. The Leica ZM 1 embodies the essence of our favorite Leica cameras and lenses in a watch. 

Best for The collector, and anyone who enjoys winding a watch each morning.

ZM 2

Home time and local time, at a glance.

The ZM 2 adds a second time zone and a day and night indicator to the ZM 1, so home time stays on your wrist when you travel. Same hand-wound movement made in Germany, same patented crown, and also a Monochrom Edition in black. If you're a frequent flyer, this is the watch for you. 

Best for Travellers who want home time on the wrist.
