Making history means … … setting something in motion. Shaping the future means dedicating yourself to striving for new innovation every single day. Our story begins with Dr. Ernst Leitz, a passionate nature lover and businessman who decisively influ - enced the development of our products and still shapes their character today. In May 1907, after three years of research and development, series production of the first binoculars began: the Binocle 6 x 18. These were fol- lowed by many other sport optics products, all of inimitable quality – and all born of the same commitment to devising ever-more innovative optics. Over a century of experience and many exceptional milestones has placed us in a leading position worldwide. Leica wasn’t just the first choice back then; it continues to be synonymous with high quality, absolute reliability and durability today. Naturally, we’re not going to stop at these achievements, and our work on tomorrow’s innovative technologies con- tinues unabated, as the next chapter of our success story unfolds.
