Watches under microscope vol. 1 Longines Conquest

Image

Well my daughter got a toy microscope and I took my chance :-) Just a note, this is toy device so quality is far from nice. Also it needs plenty of light so it reveals absolutely everything. I was suprised how good and clean hands are, also how bad is dial printing. So enjoy, if enyone is interested I got more :-)

For a toy, that is impressive clarity.

Wow you're right the hands are diamond cut sharp. At the same time I love and really dislike that kind of zoom because you see some defaults you can't notice with the eye. Kind of break the magic

Nice job and like too see more 😃👍 that brand is one of me holygrail

·

That is so cool I am so jealous!!!👍

·

The hands look like a double edged sword. 😲 Very impressive!

But the date wheel, pfff thank god my eyes are not that good 😄

I hope you have a couple of Chinese homages to give the same treatment--for contrast!

Of course! And they are far better quality which is sad.

I think this should get more coverage! What is that toy please? I’d like to seek one out

The quality of your photos is exceptional. I have a 5MP "coin" microscope (basically the same thing, but cheaper) and it's not nearly as good as your photos. Do you add different lighting?

Like @M.addd , I'm impressed that this is a "toy"

I am experimenting a bit with lighting now but these shots are ne with microscope light. It can be difficult with watches that cannot lay perfectly flat (on bracelets) and have domed crystal with color AR. This piece was easy to work with.

Inspired by you, I took a quick photo of my Orient. The built in light was too reflective, so I used a side light. My resolution, as I said, isn't as good as yours. Still, good fun.
