Yes, I know what an horologist is. So, do you specialize in watches, or clocks?
If you *really* want to say thanks, I have an Atmos that needs a new
suspension spring. ;)

P.S. Did you mention to your doctor that you need them for this type
of work? The "default" reading prescription places the focus at
between 12" and 18" in distance. Perfect for reading a piece of
paper, but not for setting a cap jewel. With a little cooperation
from your doctor, you could build in the magnification you need into
one or both lenses, and free yourself from the need for a loupe!
The nice thing about online dispensaries is that they're SO
inexpensive, that you can build special purpose pairs, like this.
