Keeping an Eye on the Moment

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.
