Any recommendations for a loupe or magnifier?
I have some old watches I'd like to take apart and play with. I'm looking for the kind of magnifier that has the wire to fit on ones head. Two questions: 1) Are there standard magnifying strengths (10x, etc.)? 2) Are there any particular brands I should look for? Thanks for any advice : )

Not perfect but I use
a 5x loupe I got at the hardware store. I can hold it with my eye socket long enough to see what I want. I have a smaller folding 10x but it strictly hand held.
I have a nice loupe from Parmigiani...
...but it is very difficult to keep from falling out of my socket. I want something that I can have on for an hour at a time. I'm not even sure what the magnification level is, but that part is fine...
Loupe system
Easy view, wide f makes all visual brighter Attached to iPhone and it makes great macro lens Not cheap , around 500$
Not looking to spend that kind of $$...I'm no pro...
...I just want something decent for $50-100. Maybe I will take a flyer on something from Amazon if I can return it...
Bergeon certainly has a solution for you
If it is difficult to keep your loupe in your eye they have also this: And so much more. Br, Dirk ...
Thank you...
...this is what I am looking for. I used one in a NY Horological Society watchmaking class once. I just wasn't sure of what the good brands are. I will do a search...
I advise a headset like this
Much more comfortable and variable lenses for different tasks I use mine all the time — 10x is rarely needed, and this work with or w/o eyeglasses. Cazalea ...
Interesting...hadn't thought of this : )
...I would be pulling apart movements, changing batteries, etc. Is this truly enough magnification for that sort of thing?
It has worked for me for the last 10 years

With the Donegan Optivisor there is also a loupe option that
attaches and can flip up or down for additional monociular magnification. Love Optivisor!
This works for glasses too
You can wear with and/or without if you’re nearsighted as I am. I can’t speak for farsighted folks.
