Collection: Eyes Loupes

Eye loupes for watchmaking

An eye loupe sits in the eye socket, so both hands stay free. The higher the magnification, the closer you have to be to the part.

Choosing the magnification

Low to medium power is for routine jobs like changing a strap or a battery. A 10x loupe, or stronger, is for inspecting a detail, a hallmark or the condition of a part. A digital magnifier with a camera is also available.

How to wear it

Hold it in the eye socket, or use a loupe holder or a clip-on model during long sessions.

FAQ

What loupe should a beginner buy? A medium-power loupe that stays comfortable over a long session.

Why does my loupe fog up? Skin warmth causes it, and humid weather does not help. Pick a ventilated loupe or lift it away from the eye briefly.
