You

You, who takes things apart.

You clicked, flipped, and tapped anything you could get your hands on. Not just to test it, but to feel it—the snick of a lighter, the snap of a cassette deck, the perfect give of a switch.

When you held that first thing – your first iPod, Walkman, MacBook – you felt something.

You started to dream. How things could be better. Started to learn a craft. Design, CAD, the way electrons move over different substrates.

Now you are sensei. And you want to work with people every day who push you. You are looking for a place to do the best work of your life.

And we're looking for you too.

Us

We? We started with a simple idea: the things you use most often should be the best things you own.

This led us to invent. Opal has been working on new things that may surprise even you.

So much has changed in technology, and so much of technology is stuck in the lab. Opal is building a series of new devices, that give consumers exciting new abilities.

It's more than cameras.
