Horological Meandering

Well, essential they are mainly for watchmakers  only. We all know how their tools look like and a lot of us got one like this from one of the watch companies, or simply bought one. ADs have them as well on hand for their customers, to examine the piece...  

Never far from my side. A great way to enjoy the details. Thnaks Bill

I like :-) Oliver

Having seen your one in the flesh it is tempting..! Yours my friend, Andy.

with your Canon - at least not now :-) Thanks, my friend! Oliver

...if you look at the photos below, you will see that a simple iPhone works quite well!!! ;-)

how well my macro Canon lense will do with this loupe too..!! You's be able to see the frilly nickers on your watch :) Andy.

I have to go get it! The watch case is a bonus! The first one is amazingly good, thanks to your advice - thanks, my friend! Ken

Please do wait, they're working on a Prototype, should be out next year, I'm waiting for it myself: S Pic Credit: Loupe System ...  

Hello everyone. Just to clarify on the previous message, the illuminator, once it becomes available, will be an add-on which will work with all our loupes. In fact, it will only consist of a replacement middle element with the illumination, rechargeable b... 

it is. Sorry my friend, you will have to order one more. I guess first series is highly collectible or sells strong ... :-) Cordially, Oliver

I just ordered one online..... But exciting to wait and see! Ken

Let us know whow you find it. Andrew

But ... No less important ! One of the best post in recent memory ! Brilliant idea of capitalizing on Nikon's superb optics ! The Pelican case adds a touch of real professional elegance to the package. Thank you for the excellent write up.

Interesting and very informative post. The only loupe I have is the one from Montblanc called liteloupe that I got during IGOTT2. Regards, ED-209

Great the evolution, Oliver and good to hear your comments on the 'prototype' and the new production version. I like the wide and flat field of view, largely free of chromatic aberration. I look forward to the illumination option because the larger loupe ...  

Hi Andrew. I thought you might enjoy this quick picture I just took with an iPhone 5S and our prototype iPhone mount for the loupe (sorry about the dust on the watch)... you can get really easy macro shots with it! :-) (Photo was only resized in Photoshop...  

...and a 100%, real-pixel crop of the same photo, with no reduction or anything else done to it. I will never cease to be amazed by what Isabelle Villa was able to paint!!! ...  

may I ask for some "clothes" from Agent Provocateur, next time :-) Cheers, Oliver

Hey, if I could have ordered them naked, I would have! ;-) Seriously, though, I am amazed that she was even able to put a lace-like effect on the edges of the underwear...

I am very interested in one of these loupes - after seeing Oliver's in London a few weeks ago..!! I assume I can just order from your website with delivery to the UK..?? Are there any technical differences with the current version being supplied from the ... 

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 adaptin... 

It is very much appreciated. I'm afraid I will not be at Salon QP but I hope you have a great time there. Maybe we will meet another time. I am lucky to have seen Oliver's loupe so I do know what it is like and hopefully I'll get to see it again soon :) A... 

No plans for a 10x loupe at ths stage.

this means the loupe available now is the only one :) Speak soon, Andy.

I carry both the 6x LoupeSystem and a 10x Leitz. The 6x for an overview and the 10x for the finer details. Andrew

I just ordered mine. :-))))). Cant wait to playbwith it. Best Iceman

Here is a similar image taken with the Leica DLux-4 in natural light. About as close in as I could get. It will be interesting to see how the illumination will add to the LoupeSystem iPhone images as well. Andrew ...  

and excellent write up on the Loupe System, I'm a huge fan of what they're doing. Just waiting for their next model. S

Dear Oliver, thank you very much for your kind words and your excellent review! I am very glad to hear that you like the new incarnation of our loupe... :-)

I received my Loupe System Model 01 yesterday as a birthday present from a Very special watchmaking friend. Even under dim lighting it has increased my enjoyment a whole lot more than 6x! Thanks to him and AlbertoS !! amerix
