Anyway if anyone comes across a Leica 55-135mm F3.5-5.6 Apo Vario Elmar T not from the usual suspects for my TL2...

Why!
Leica make iconic cameras, so why indulge in a market that is already overloaded with choice. Stick to what you do best, make great cameras & superb lenses but stick to your product. Ralph Lauren watches, case in point.
Looks chunky!

Hmmm ... but the watch is not designed and made by Leica ... Dr Kaufmann is a WIS and he can likely afford to have a watch designed ... and not for the first time. Leica have a worldwide chain of Leica Boutiques and the watch will likely sell to Leica enthusiasts ... and it may well have something special/unique lacking in other high end watches.Originally Posted by Nealywheelie

I bet it's a smart watch.
It'll be absurdly expensive. You heard it here first
It's the launch of the M11 camera. The preview materials are all online - Ralph Gibson is the featured artist for the launch videos and images. It has nothing to do with watches - the teaser message meant it’s time for a new M camera…..

I seem to recall that the rumoured L3 was a mechanical alarm watch...
Haven't we been here before?

Can anybody say whether the previous iteration was a success? I'll stand by my earlier comment that they are missing a trick with any Leica watch if they don't do something interesting with the crystal - Leica=good glass.
However it seems that other options are available.

In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
You're very likely correct ... unless the launch is for both the M11 and a Leica watch.

From the "leaks" and an email from a retailer, yours for just £7,500...
M11
A new and exclusively designed 60 Million Pixel, Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor with Triple Resolution Technology adds new imaging technology to the M Family to produce an incomparable level of image quality and grants free choice of resolution, opening up entirely new possibilities in image composition.
No sign of a watch
Super camera ... and no watch ;)
"Well they would say that ... wouldn't they!"
They thought there was no watch.... there is now....two...

10 and 14k is ambitious
Wow really??? Nice looking watches and I like the red details but I'd expect a thinner case given it's manual wind. Maybe there's enough wealthy Leico enthusiasts out there to meet demand.
I bet there are.
Leica cameras always seem egregiously expensive to me but they're doing well. ;-)
Then again, high quality watches are egregiously expensive nowadays so I'm not sure that Leica's watches at those prices are particularly excessive.
