Leica Watch

Turn seconds into moments with the Leica ZM Watch Collections: a representation of 150 years of technical excellence and visionary design. Named after the German term “Zeitmesser” (timepiece), observe time in a way that is unmistakably connected to Leica, inspired by Leica's photographic history and outstanding quality.

Embodying the iconic Leica design philosophy, the Leica ZM 1 and ZM 2 watches offer unique interpretations of traditional watchmaking functions. Our commitment to precision and craftsmanship can be experienced in a new interpretation, appealing to connoisseurs of both photography and horology.

The ZM 11 combines classic design principles with fine engineering. This innovative timepiece features a unique dial that creates a subtle gradient effect, achieved through precise mechanical craftsmanship. It is a refined choice for those who appreciate subtle innovation in watchmaking.

Time has always played a central role in photography. The ZM Collection traces the history of Leica all the way back to the early 20th century, honoring the significant influence of watchmaking in the evolution of the company. In 1863, at just 20 years old, our founder, Ernst Leitz I, sharpened his fine mechanical skills with a watchmaker in Switzerland. His invaluable experience, together with his extensive education in microscopy, telegraphy, and optics, formed the foundation for starting his own company. Recognizing the potential of mass production, he founded Ernst Leitz Wetzlar in 1869.

One-and-a-half centuries later, the Leica ZM watches stand as exceptional timepieces, renowned for their precision, reliability, and impeccable craftsmanship. Manufactured with the same passion and meticulous attention to detail as the famous Leica cameras, each Leica watch embodies the pursuit of excellence that has always distinguished the brand.
