The inspiration behind the Leica L1 watch comes directly from Leica’s legendary camera engineering philosophy, translating the tactile, mechanical purity of classic Leica rangefinders into a wristwatch form, with the L1 conceived as an object of deliberate interaction rather than passive convenience, emphasizing manual winding, visible mechanics, and purposeful restraint much like winding a camera film advance or setting focus by hand, and developed in collaboration with German watchmaker Lehmann Präzision to reflect Bauhaus-influenced industrial clarity, precision machining, and functional honesty, resulting in a watch that values craftsmanship, user engagement, and mechanical transparency over trends or ornamentation, positioning the Leica L1 as a timekeeping equivalent of a mechanical Leica camera—intentional, exacting, and built for those who appreciate process as much as outcome.

Leica L1 Watch Repair >
We know that your Leica watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come.
Leica L2 Watch Repair >
The inspiration behind the Leica L2 watch builds directly on the philosophy of the L1 but expands it for a more globally mobile wearer, drawing from Leica’s tradition of precision tools designed for professionals working across borders, with the addition of a GMT function reflecting the needs of photographers, journalists, and travelers who move between time zones while relying on absolute clarity and control, and like the L1, the L2 emphasizes deliberate mechanical interaction through manual winding, a visible power reserve, and a red GMT indicator that echoes Leica’s iconic red dot, all executed with Bauhaus-influenced restraint and developed alongside German engineering partner Lehmann Präzision to create a watch that mirrors a Leica camera in spirit—functional, purposeful, mechanically honest, and focused on serving real-world use rather than decorative complexity, making the Leica L2 a travel-ready extension of Leica’s tool-first design ethos.

Leica ZM 1 Watch Repair >
The inspiration behind the Leica ZM 1 watch was to reinterpret Leica’s century-long camera heritage through a distinctly modern horological lens, creating a timepiece that feels like a precision photographic instrument rather than a traditional luxury watch, with its design language rooted in the clean geometry, restrained typography, and purposeful controls of Leica cameras, and its standout push-crown mechanism conceived to mirror the intentional act of engaging a camera before use by physically activating the movement when setting the time, reinforcing the idea that precision should be conscious rather than automatic, while the use of high-contrast dials, red accents referencing Leica’s iconic red dot, and a proprietary hand-wound movement developed with Chronode reflect Leica’s commitment to technical independence, functional clarity, and mechanical honesty, positioning the Leica ZM 1 as a watch inspired not by nostalgia, but by the disciplined, tool-first mindset that has defined Leica’s approach to visual storytelling for generations.
We know that your Leica watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come.
Leica ZM 2 Watch Repair >
The inspiration behind the Leica ZM 2 watch was to evolve the original ZM 1 concept into a more expressive and contemporary instrument while preserving Leica’s tool-first philosophy, with the ZM 2 introducing a small seconds subdial to enhance visual balance and functional clarity much like the deliberate framing choices made through a camera viewfinder, while retaining the signature push-crown that requires intentional engagement before setting the time, reinforcing Leica’s belief that precision should be active rather than passive, and drawing heavily from modern Leica camera aesthetics through refined typography, disciplined symmetry, and subtle red accents that echo the brand’s visual identity, all powered by an in-house hand-wound movement developed with Chronode to reflect Leica’s commitment to mechanical independence, engineering rigor, and purposeful design, positioning the Leica ZM 2 as a natural progression of Leica’s vision to create watches that function as precision instruments rather than decorative luxury objects.
We know that your Leica watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come.
Leica ZM 12 Watch Repair >
The inspiration behind the Leica ZM 12 watch was to make Leica’s precision-instrument philosophy more fluid, contemporary, and wearable for everyday use, drawing on the visual language of modern Leica cameras while softening the rigidity of the earlier hand-wound ZM models through an automatic movement and more dynamic dial layouts, with layered textures, bold colors, and sculptural case proportions meant to evoke depth, contrast, and motion much like light interacting with a camera sensor, while still retaining Leica’s core values of clarity, balance, and intentional design, resulting in a watch that translates Leica’s obsession with optical purity and functional aesthetics into a more expressive, lifestyle-oriented timepiece that remains grounded in tool-watch integrity rather than traditional luxury excess, positioning the Leica ZM 12 as the most accessible and visually energetic expression of Leica’s modern watchmaking vision.
We know that your Leica watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come.

Heartfelt Testimonials on Watch Repair
I found Times Ticking on the internet. The last time I had a watch repaired locally it cost more than the watch did new. I got it back just like new 2 weeks later and 2,000 miles away. HIGHLY recommended. Times Ticking was prompt, inexpensive, and even phoned when they got my watch and told me in advance what it would cost to repair.
Their service was grade A!!! They're quick and professional; they always kept me updated with status of my watches. Their work is flawless which they stand behind, to me most importantly. They speak to you as if you're an old friend asking for help; in which they're always happy to do. Times Ticking; a place where you can ask an old friend for help.
I cannot speak to the local facilities or sales staff. I am an internet customer who took a chance and sent my prized Accutron watch across the country to folks I do not know and have never met. This was a big decision which took several weeks to discern. I am thrilled with my decision and am planning to send my Dad’s watch in for repair. The difference? This time there is no hesitation whatsoever.
I was thrilled that they were able to repair and clean up a watch that I had inherited from my mother. It looks great and works great. The service was fast. The person who called me about the watch was very friendly and seemed grateful for my business. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will use them again if the need arises. So refreshing to receive such good customer service these days!
I highly recommend Times Ticking for watch repair. Jesse & crew know their stuff and even take the time to talk with you. They communicate very friendly/professionally and most of all the prices are more than fair for such craftsmen skills! My opinion: They are like the American Restoration of watches.

HISTORY OF LEICA
The Legacy of Leica: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Leica watches trace their roots to Leica’s origins as a precision optical instrument maker, with Leica Camera AG founded in early-20th-century Wetzlar, Germany, where its 35mm cameras reshaped photography through mechanical precision, minimalist design, and a strict tool-first philosophy. This culture of clarity, durability, and disciplined engineering defined the brand long before watches were part of the story.
When Leica entered watchmaking in the 2010s, it did so as a direct extension of that ethos, collaborating with Swiss and German specialists to create mechanical watches that mirror the tactile engagement and functional honesty of Leica cameras, resulting in the L-series and ZM-series. Today, Leica watches are valued less for volume and more for their conceptual integrity and their rare success in translating an industrial design legacy into fine mechanical watchmaking.
