How do you look at the details of your watches?
Apr 12, 2018,13:43 PM
Hello all,
I would like to start a discussion on how you look at the details of your watches.
There are lots of members highly skilled for macro photo shots who allow less skilled people to enjoy the details of watches. That is one way to look at craftsmanship result.
Another way is to use an optical device like a loupe for example. I am thinking of getting equipped but it is very difficult to know what to get. What is the ideal magnifying factor? Some watches are sold with a box containing a loupe. Sadly, none of these items are labelled with a magnifying factor. What is ideal? 3x, 10x, 15x? Etc. I am not sure that the highest is necessarily the best.
So, what do you use to look at your timepieces?
Thanks in advance for your contributions!
Best,
É.

It depends; light sources and objectives also matter

For my own watches, I have a Loupe System 6x to enjoy broad views with reasonable magnification. A 10x loupe is what I use if I want to get exceptionally close to a discrete part of a movement or dial. For the capture of images, macro lenses. One element ...
