p.1 #1 · Leica BE@RBRICK Royal Selangor 400% was introduced in Asia.
Not really a serious photography tool, but hey, it's a slow news day!
Here are the details:
Inspired by the original Ur-Leica, the BE@RBRICK’s sculptural form draws from both the outer design and internal architecture of Leica’s pioneering prototype. The result is a seamless fusion of nostalgia and modernity, finished in a striking pewter satin and black paint.
Its gleaming silhouette nods to the clean lines and robust form of Leica’s earliest creations. Look closer and the details come alive. Worn edges, distressed textures, and softened corners tell their own story—echoing the quiet dignity of a Leica that has travelled, witnessed, and endured.
• A pewter lens sits on its chest, paired with a bronzed lens cap motif
• A plaque marks the exact spot where Oskar Barnack captured one of the most enduring images of the 20th century
• The rear of the camera is echoed on the back, complete with the original E. Leitz Wetzlar logo
• Sculpted reliefs reveal the inner workings of the original camera, seamlessly built into the BE@RBRICK’s form
• A Leica ZM 1 watch is sculpted into its wrist—a subtle tribute to time, craftsmanship, and precision
• Knurled patterns from the original knobs appear on the arms and feet, while shutter speed markings run down the leg
