Custom Casio Watch Inspired by Leica

Interview by MATT GROWCOOT Petapixel

PPP Cameras in the U.K. has come up with a stunning timepiece that is perfect for the Leica enthusiast who wants to make it to photo shoots on time.

The Casio M-Edition is inspired by Leica’s iconic line of M cameras, featuring a red dot that is a nod to the long-running rangefinder cameras.

PPP Cameras, based in Birmingham, England, says the watch “blends precision design with classic photographic style.”

As well as the striking custom red dial that echoes Leica’s signature red dot, it also features custom red LEDs for the watch light, which, PPP says, is “reminiscent of a camera’s internal light meter.”

“Completing the look with a leather watch strap, mirroring the leatherette of the cameras,” adds PPP.

The Casio M-Edition comes in two colors: Black and Chrome. The piece itself is based off the Casio AE1200.
