1914 - Ur Leica

這是徠卡的起點－1914 年的 UR-LEICA 模型。與後來批量生產的仿製品精細的表面處理不同，這種原始的金屬質感捕捉到了真正的「原型」精神，它是在實驗室中手工錘製而成。完全手工打造，內壁和邊緣都清晰可見手工調整的痕跡。在那個年代，研發過程中產生了許多此類被棄用的零件。

THIS IS THE STARTING POINT OF LEICA—THE 1914 UR-LEICA CASING. UNLIKE THE REFINED FINISH OF LATER MASS-PRODUCED REPLICAS, THIS RAW METALLIC TEXTURE CAPTURES THE TRUE "PROTOTYPE" SPIRIT, HAND-HAMMERED IN THE LABORATORY. ENTIRELY HAND-CRAFTED, THE INNER WALLS AND EDGES SHOW DISTINCT TRACES OF MANUAL ADJUSTMENT. DURING THAT ERA, THE R&D PROCESS PRODUCED NUMEROUS DISCARDED COMPONENTS OF THIS NATURE.
