German-made tool watches, designed specifically for the aerospace industry, are well built and purposed made tools. Damasko offers a unique offering in the independent watchmaking space with their in-house calibers, rigorous testing, and utilitarian design. Much like the photographic tools we love, Damasko watches are robust, durable, and above all, a joy to use and for these reasons we've recently added Damasko to the Camera West family of brands. We're excited to collaborate with Damasko, bringing you the latest from their line and offering special giveaways during the event and the opportunity to try them out for yourself.

STANDARD H encapsulates what we love about cameras and watches in its apparel. Rooted in travel and automotive-inspired apparel and accessories, our good friend Wesley Smith curates not only our favorite shirts, hoodies, jackets, and hats, but also hosts a unique podcast focused on aiding and empowering small businesses. Additionally, he offers one of the best travel guides to major cities around the globe on his website. Wesley will be joining us with the latest offerings from STANDARD H. If you don't already follow him online, we highly recommend that you do so.

Oberwerth bags are among our most preferred camera bags. We've been collaborating with Oberwerth and carrying their product line for nearly a decade at all of our stores. Their German handmade bags are crafted with the utmost care and attention, perfectly complementing your favorite fine photographic tools.

In addition to their excellent camera bags, Oberwerth has expanded their line to include fine lifestyle goods, from bags to accessories and more. We're thrilled to have Stefan Immes, the founder and CEO of Oberwerth, at our event. We'll be showcasing all the latest offerings from Oberwerth during this time.

First and foremost, our title sponsor and the venue for our event is the stunning Gallery, Bookshop, and Leica Retail Store located at 463 Bush Street. In addition to the venue, all of the latest offerings from Leica, including the new Leica SL3 and Leica Q3, will be available for guests to try out. We'll also have a wide selection of Leica Sport Optics to experience, and the opportunity to see the new Leica Cine 1 in full display at the store. We may be biased, but we believe there couldn't be a better place in San Francisco to host such an event! We’d like to thank Leica USA for joining us and supporting this special event.
