Hi Andy.
Of course you can order straight from the website, and we will deliver to the UK without any problems. We have already done so dozens of times.
In terms of the optics, the original, hand-made loupes were built (on my kitchen table ;-)) by adapting some optics for professional Nikon cameras from the 80s. The new one, on the other hand, has been built from the ground up as a loupe for collectors, and - quite frankly - it is significantly better.
The new optics are still based on a design which uses five separate lenses arranged in three groups, but they are much brighter, have better contrast and are far, far sharper. The actual resolution of the Model 01 loupe exceeds that of the human eye by over a factor of 3 at the very edge of the viewing field! Several customers have told us that they were discovering their watches anew, since with our loupe they could see details which they had never been able to see before!
Any other question, feel free to ask...
Cheers
P.S. Will you be attending Salon QP? If so, I would love to meet face to face and hear what you think about our loupe in person.
