The Bergeon 1458-A-12 Double Lens Eyeglass is a professional-grade inspection tool designed specifically for watchmakers and precision technicians who require extreme detail for movement analysis and repair. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-powered 12x magnification with a modular double-lens system, ensuring exceptional clarity during intricate work. Users should note that the high magnification level results in a very shallow depth of field and a close working distance, which may require a brief period of adjustment for those accustomed to lower-power loupes.

While high quality, 12x magnification is quite powerful and can be challenging for beginners. Many technicians start with a 4x or 6x loupe before moving to a 12x.
The Bergeon 1458-A-12 is designed with removable lenses, and parts may be serviced by authorized Bergeon dealers if necessary.
Gently unscrew or remove the lens housing components as indicated by the manual to access the internal glass, then clean with a lint-free cloth.
No, this is a traditional handheld or eye-socket loupe and does not include a strap.
The 15x version provides higher magnification but with an even smaller field of view and shorter working distance.
Clean both internal and external lens surfaces with a microfiber cloth and ensure proper lighting is directed at the object.
The 12x magnification requires a steady hand and a fixed distance from the object; use a work rest to stabilize your hands and bring the object closer until the focal plane is reached.
Take frequent breaks and ensure you are not squinting against the loupe; adjust your seating position to improve posture.
To begin, ensure the loupe is clean; use a microfiber cloth to wipe both surfaces of the removable lenses before each session. When fitting the loupe, place it comfortably against the orbital bone around your eye. If you wear glasses, you may need to adjust the position to prevent the loupe from sliding. For care, store the device in a dust-free container when not in use. If the lenses accumulate stubborn oil or debris, use a specialized optical cleaner and a soft lens brush to prevent scratching the high-precision glass elements.
