As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Leica Camera has teamed up with HODINKEE, the foremost destination for all things in the world of horology, to debut a stunning new special edition set inspired by the faded bezel of a vintage timepiece owned by HODINKEE founder and CEO Ben Clymer. Limited to just 250 sets worldwide, the Leica M10-P “Ghost” Edition for HODINKEE, which includes a Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. lens, is a nod to the desirable “ghosted” aesthetic emerged through the natural aging and wear of a wristwatch bezel, creating an equally beautiful new look and feel with a storied past. “The Leica M10-P “Ghost” Edition for HODINKEE is the realization of not only my fascination of how timeless object age and evolve, but a partnership with a brand that has been a part of my life for a long time and one that I greatly admire," says Ben Clymer, CEO of HODINKEE. "This limited edition was inspired by the first dive watch that I purchased. In its original condition, the stainless-steel watch would have had a rich black dial and bezel, and markers that were bright white and luminous. With time and exposure, the dial and bezel faded to gray, and the markers turned cream. This “ghosted” watch is among the most beautiful and charming examples of an interesting life lived." The “Ghost” Edition remains true to Leica’s minimalistic design with the purposeful omission of the Leica red dot logo and is finished entirely in matte gray with white and silver accents. The top and bottom plates of the camera body and the lens are coated with a matte gray paint with white enamel-filled engravings, whereas the body is covered in a gray cowhide leather for a soft, stylistic feature point. The muted color tones evoke the “ghosted” look that inspired the limited-edition camera yet offer a stylish design that stands on its own. The “Ghost Edition” set maintains all the technical features of the original M10-P, naturally drawing parallels between the mechanical complexities of the camera with the intricacies of fine watchmaking. From the incredibly quiet mechanical shutter that barely utters a whisper to the touch and feel of the shutter speed dial and aperture ring that harken to the turning of the rotating bezel of a dive watch. Even the mechanical movement of the watch – its beating heart house within its case, not visible to the user – plays counterpart to the coupled rangefinder of the camera, it too hidden from sight under the camera’s top plate. Both perfect examples of precision engineering and mechanical excellence, relying on the motion and actions of their users to operate in harmony. Meanwhile, the lens included in the set – the Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. – is one of the most versatile M lenses. Whether it is a shallow depth-of-field look when shot wide-open, high-contrast available-light applications or landscapes with immense depth of field, the lens performs wonderfully in any situation. The Leica M10-P “Ghost” Edition for HODINKEE will be available beginning December 12, 2019. The edition is limited to only 250 camera sets worldwide, each of which bears a distinctive serial number. The set also includes a stylish and rugged gray rope strap with genuine Italian vegetable-tanned black leather accents, and a certificate of authenticity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

ellegant Posted December 12, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 12, 2019 And of course it is waterproof to a depth of 100 feet.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted December 13, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 13, 2019 If Leica had teamed up with Rolex, it could have been the Submariner edition M10-P, waterproof to a depth of 1000 feet. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramesh Posted December 17, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Now apparently, according to Leica Rumors, there will also be a 'white' limited edition. Whiter than a ghost, and begs the question 'Will dirt show?" Edited December 17, 2019 by rramesh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macfrik Posted December 17, 2019 Share #6 Posted December 17, 2019 I think it will come in a nice wooden box just like a luxury watch, hence the $1700 premium. I really like the subtle grey finish, and the one of a kind 35Lux color matching the camera. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almizilero Posted May 31, 2024 Share #9 Posted May 31, 2024 Has there ever been an M10-R Ghost edition? As far as I could google it, there shouldn't be. But I'm looking at an offer for a used M10-R with grey leather that looks very much like the M10-P Ghost in colour. Or was it possible to get custom leather on the M10-R? I really don't know what to make of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
