Leica M10-P 'Ghost Edition' prototype

 Leica M10-P “Ghost Edition” For HODINKEE is the result of a decades-long fascination with how timeless objects age and evolve with time. This particular idea is inspired by the first vintage dive watch that I purchased in my early 20s – a watch that has been by my side through the most meaningful years of my career. It is a watch that began its life in stainless steel with a rich black dial and bezel, while the markers were bright white and luminous. With time, sun, and exposure, the dial and bezel faded to grey, the markers turned cream, and that shine disappeared. We call a watch like this “ghosted,” and the likes of it are among the most beautiful and charming barometers of an interesting life lived. It is my sincerest hope that each owner of the Leica M10-P “Ghost Edition” For HODINKEE will build their own story with this special edition camera, just as I have with the watch that inspired it. Benjamin Clymer, CEO and founder of Hodinkee 

The offered camera is one of only 5 prototype examples made for press and testing purposes. The body bears the serial number 5502592, and the lens 4782032, both are additionally engraved with P3/5. The set is in mint, unused condition and comes with all papers and accessories.
