Magnifying glasses

Are you looking for a unique product for an exclusive gift? In that case, we have a proposal for a luxury accessory, a unique magnifying glass. It will be a gift that is both elegant and functional.

A luxury magnifying glass is a functional and very necessary everyday item

Magnifying glasses have served humanity for centuries. The advantages of lenses were utilised as far back as ancient times. Back then, gemstones such as emeralds were used to magnify images.

Modern optical lenses make everyday life easier. They are used by many people, for example, in jewellery precision or even in watchmaking. They are also appreciated by coin and stamp collectors. Furthermore, a magnifying glass allows you to read even the smallest print, such as on food packaging or medication. It is therefore helpful for seniors. The image can be magnified just two or three times, but also several dozen times. Moreover, modern magnifiers quite often have built-in lighting in a plastic frame, which is very useful for reading text.

It is worth noting, however, that although the terms magnifying glass and loupe are often used synonymously, there is a difference between them. A magnifying glass enlarges an image up to three times. A loupe, on the other hand, magnifies reality up to 50 times.

Magnifying reading glasses - key features

Magnifying reading glasses are the latest invention in the optical market. Moreover, they are not only elegant but above all functional. Here are their key features:

• Practicality. They look like regular glasses, are comfortable, and functional at the same time. They free up your hands, as you don't need to hold them. This makes reading even small-format text a pleasure, and repairing a watch or jewellery easy and quick.
  
• They enhance everyday comfort. They provide ideal magnification of letters when reading small text and help notice small scratches on a watch face or appreciate the quality of a gemstone in a ring. They magnify reality by up to 180%.
  
• They are durable. Most magnifying glasses are made from polymer optical glass, which is extremely durable and scratch-resistant.
  
• Additional LED lighting allows them to be used in the dark as well.

Loupe magnification x 20, 30 or 50?

A loupe is an optical instrument that conveniently allows us to read text written in small print, check the hallmark on gold or silver jewellery, or repair a watch. It is useful in any situation where we need to magnify and enlarge an image or object and ensure precision in our work. This exceptional converging lens magnifies images more than three times, and high-quality loupes, such as those by Mukul Goyal, offer even 20, 30, and 50 times magnification.

How does a magnifying glass differ from a loupe?

The main difference between a loupe and a magnifying glass is the aforementioned size of the magnified image or document. The first accessory magnifies it more than three times, while the second up to three times.

Moreover, a loupe is usually constructed from a single converging lens, providing a simple, virtual, and magnified image. This is known as a simple loupe. There are also other types, including achromatic, aplanatic, and orthoplanatic astigmatic loupes. They are characterised by being made from a set of closely positioned lenses (cemented or attached), for example, two, three, or even four.

What is power zoom?

Power Zoom is most commonly used in lenses and magnifying reading glasses. It is a specially integrated feature that allows you to zoom in or out with the movement of a single finger. Moreover, the image can be magnified up to 160-180%. Additionally, the built-in LED lighting allows you to use the reading glasses even at night. This practical solution is also beneficial for those involved in tasks such as watch repair. Hands are free, focusing lenses are built into the frames, and power zoom allows you to set the magnification perfectly tailored to your needs.

At the watchmaker's, jeweller's, or perhaps in an online shop? Where to buy magnifying glasses?

There is no shortage of magnifying glasses on the market. You can buy them virtually anywhere: kiosks, supermarkets, bookshops, jewellers, and even order them directly from China. Prices range from a few to several dozen złotys. But... Are you sure that the optical lens installed in them will provide the right magnification, and that the manual handle will be sturdy? Unfortunately, when purchasing this tool, you often do not have the opportunity to test it. Therefore, you need a trusted seller who offers a reliable optical instrument model from well-known and respected brands, such as Absolute Breton.

At Luxury Products, you will find a wide selection of magnifiers that are perfect for reading small print. In this case, models from the Chinelli manufactory will not disappoint you. Furthermore, practical magnifying glasses from companies like Dalvey will allow you to admire even the smallest details of both distant and nearby objects.

Is a magnifying glass a good gift idea?

An exclusive magnifier is the perfect gift for any occasion. So if you don't know what to buy your boss for their name day, your grandfather for his anniversary, or your sister for Christmas, a luxury magnifying glass will be ideal. A suitable lens with a decorative handle can make your heart beat faster. The magnifiers available in our online shop Luxury Products are designed for enthusiasts of exceptional and unique design. Our wide range of magnifying accessories is used by master watchmakers, old coin collectors, philatelists, seniors, and jewellers.
