Portrait of a City
The Pulse Between Us: Art, Time, and the City That Never Sleeps
"There’s a certain rhythm to New York in the summer — a hum that rises from the pavement and moves through every heartbeat, every frame, every breath. The city was alive, perfectly mirroring the cadence of the project: showcasing how two artists move through time together.
Shot between moments of motion and stillness, capturing the quiet intersections where creativity, intimacy, and structure meet. The hum of the subway, the flicker of streetlights, the reflection of glass — all beat in time with the Leica ZM Watch collection. Like the timepieces themselves, the project embodied precision, awareness, and a reverence for craftsmanship. It wasn’t about performance, but about presence — the shared discipline of being fully attuned to each second as it unfolds.”
"Filmmaking is the act of sculpting time. Photography steals a fragment of it; cinema lets it breathe. Both demand surrender, to light, to movement, to impermanence. A watch doesn’t fight time; it listens to it. That’s what I chase every time I pick up a camera- the sound of a second expanding into a story."

Precision with Purpose
The Leica ZM 2 is a study in balance—where timekeeping meets quiet mastery. Each detail reflects the patience and precision that define true craftsmanship, inviting its wearer to move with intention. Its design speaks in subtleties: the soft curve of sapphire, the rhythm of movement beneath glass, the calm confidence of function refined to its essence. More than a watch, the ZM 2 is a reminder that time, when shaped by purpose, becomes an art form.
