Style wise I don't mind it but would still prefer a Nomos or even better a GO for that kind of look, the thing that's annoying / weird is the hacking indicator. If the watch isn't running you can see that it isn't ticking, and while I know there are heaps of similarly useless complications on watches this one would annoy me every time I looked at the dial.

I feel they should have collaborated. GO doing an occasional “Leica” edition of their watches would hit two enthusiast crowds pretty hard. Could you imagine the modern 70s GO with that period “Leica” font (for example). I think it would be pretty cool.

Reading the article I thought the same thing.

Oh they're going to be UNDER 10000€?
A ruby which isn't actually the same red as the "famous" Leica red dot and a red dot which is, but only shows red when the 14mm thick slab-sider isn't running?
I'm so pleased that I can't get on with sterile Bauhaus styled watches...
Besides, for all us Canon users there's this
