Dress up your new Leica with "Mr. M for Leica M240"


A laurel crown dedicated to lovers of the Leica M... named "Mr. M"──The laurel, revered since the age of Greek mythology as a symbol of victory, glory, and eternal love. This jewelry, crafted in the form of a crown signifying victory, is a special lucky charm exclusively for Leica M owners.

The world's first dress-up jewelry for the new Leica M240!



JAY TSUJIMURA's concept of a lucky charm is "a gift from your present self to your future self." We hope that each time you hold your Leica M adorned with Mr. M, you'll be reminded of the meaning of the laurel crown. For your present and future... for victory, glory, and eternal love...





The jewelry I design doesn't just propose a "cool" style. Coolness and quality are fundamental prerequisites for me. Beyond that, I imbue each piece with the hope that it will serve as an amulet for your dreams and goals as you continue to challenge your potential, and as a lucky charm to support your life, crafting them all by hand.

It would be my honor as a creator if Mr. M is chosen by positive Leica owners and contributes even in a small way to boosting your creative motivation.

The "Mr. M Collection" from Tokyo is semi-custom-made



Mr. M expresses "strength hidden within beauty" through its elegant form, a blend of the wild, flowing undulations of floral vitality and suppleness. The silver gleam emanating from the laurel leaves and florals, meticulously hand-carved one by one, carries a warmth unique to handmade craftsmanship.

Furthermore, the luxurious presence of natural leather—diamond python and lizard—attached to the center of the laurel crown creates a stylish and luxurious collection truly befitting the Leica M.

The central leather can be chosen from 15 colors of genuine leather for a semi-custom order. The unique texture of each piece, due to the use of rare reptile leathers, is also a key appeal. The soft-release buttons and hot-shoe covers, crafted from sterling silver by hand, are a unique collection worldwide, merging the uncompromising skill of artisans who refine every detail to the 0.1mm with the sensibility of a designer cultivated in New York and London.

The Mr. M soft-release button features a low-profile design for a smooth shutter feel. It is also compatible with the Leica ME and MM, in addition to the M240. The Mr. M hot-shoe cover has a floral design on the side, concealing the EVF terminal of the Leica M240.

Additionally, the interior is lined with Vynix leather for a comfortable fit, and the inner sides are engraved with JAY TSUJIMURA's happiness formula: "Love + Peace + Joy = Happiness!!"
