To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Nordisk Photo, the brand’s importer in Denmark and Sweden, Leica will launch the model M Monochrom in a limited edition of only 25 copies. This commemorative piece offers the same features as the regular model, but its appearance and presentation will make it unique.
The Leica M Monochrom Silver Anniversary Edition Nordisk Photo M Monochrom will feature exclusive colors— the body and lens will be silver, unlike the black or white of the traditional model—and will be covered in delicate beige leather called Aztec. Its packaging, specially designed for the occasion, will include a silver lens Summilux M-1.4 / 35 ASPH, battery, charger and cables, a license to install the latest version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and a delicate leather strap in the same hue as the camera´s body. Because it is a limited edition collectible, each of the copies will be identified by its own serial number. This model will be available only in Sweden and Denmark and will be priced at $21,000.
The commemorative timepiece boasts the renowned Oculus design by Valbray, with a 16-piece circular opening diaphragm in the front dial, which varies the position according to the owner`s taste. This model comes in silver or black, both with a titanium sandblasted matte texture and brown or black matte leather bracelet. Priced at $25,000, this unique piece is ideal for watch lovers and fans of the mythical German brand, which is celebrating its 100-year history.
Both the Leica M Monochrom Silver Anniversary Edition Nordisk Foto M Monochrom and the Valbray Argentique are captivating for their beauty and uniqueness, and are worthy of the taste of the finest collector. ■
