This is the best site that I have ever come across for glasses. I just love all the frameless glasses that you have shown, and all the information that you are telling us, it is like looking at a good pair of hand made shoes.😎
The beveling has to be my favourite step, it just gives that little extra special detail to the lenses (and therefore the frames) because you just don’t see it very often
Oh Robert you're killing me. Loving the shape of the lens in orange. I wonder if rimless glasses would suit me, since it is generally agreed that I do not look good without glasses (and therefore, I assume that perhaps the contrast of the frames play at least some part in this). We'll speak more to that point further down the line over e-mail, but I thought I'd ask here so you have the opportunity to share some insight on this to your viewers.
Damn Robert, You making me go crazy now with all those tints, you got to work them all for my glasses soon which are soon on the way. Regards from 🌞 sunny curaçao
Robert - so many thanks! Based on your guidance I got a beautiful pair with perfect glasses and more affordable than the glasses my German optician offered me ….
I have a beautiful pair of Cartier glasses that I customized. And I did all the bells and whistles, but they are still very classy. I also opted for the lens cuts and my name engraved on the lens LOL
Hi Robert, you've got me off on a what if fantasy thread. Rimless, a small rectangular Octagonal lens (a Bond villain?) Silver frame, green/diamond photoflash or gold frame green/amber. 🤔
I appreciate Robert for explaining everything I need to know in this video. I have a pair of Cartier Sunglasses and planning on purchasing a pair for eyeglasses and determining what pair would be perfect and then putting prescription lenses on them is challenging. After watching this video I now know what direction to take. Thank you again
We're glad we could help! You can also book a virtual consultation with Rob and he can go through everything with you. Drop us an email at hello@thespectaclefactory.com and one of our team will be in touch. - Haleemah
Do you know how many millimeters long the bar that holds the nose pads are? Not the bridge but the metal that holds the nose pads. Also how long the screw is that goes through the lens from the bridge?
Hello Great videos. Recently started watching your you tube channel. I just bought a pair of aviator Cartier sunglasses. Is there a possibility to change the color of the lens? Now it’s a gray and would like to consider a blue tint. How would I go about doing that? Many thanks in advance for your response.
Hi Robert. Could prescription lenses be made with Zeiss treatments that eventually look just like sunglasses? I mean, when exposed to the sun will they be without residual green/blue reflection on their surface, just plain black (but also with AR, UV and Blue Light protection)? When clear, they can be reflective, no problem, but not when exposed to sunlight. Does Gradient, Tint Gray 12% or 25% + PhotoFusion X Extra Gray and possibly which DuraVision (Platinum or Sun) work in order not to reflect the eyes on the back surface of the lenses? I have something with green residue on the back + Siver Mirror front, but when are exposed to light, în the top/side light the eyes are mirrored plus a lot of reflections and streaks of light... which is very annoying unfortunately. Can be made of Crown Glass or Plastic CR-39? Thanks in advance for your help, keep it up. With all my respect for your work, Luss.
The silver mirror is likely causing internal reflections. DuraVision Sun is probably your best bet, but with any anti-reflective treatment there will be a slight reflex colour
Thank you for the great content, because of your videos I learned so much about the frames and glasses industry (especially avoiding luxottica 😅) I have some questions hopefully, if you reach my comment: - what are the pros and cons for rimless glasses - as a software developer working all day on screens, would you recommend zeiss clearview of smartlife individual lenses ? - I leaned from zeiss that they have now "SmartLife individual 3" which, as I understand, is a new version? , Any idea what are the differences between this version and the previous ones? - what would you prefer for a frame, Ic! Berlin or Porsche design ? If anyone else can advise me based on his personal experience, I'll be grateful!
Rimless glasses - usually more lightweight, more subtle, less durable *usually* I'm involved in the launch of SL 3, not allowed to speak about it though 🤐 It depends on the style, some ICB are better than most PD, some PD are better than most ICB. I could advise you on specific styles during a consultation
@@thespectaclefactory Hello! I see that you're considering rimless glasses, which can be a great choice due to their lightweight and subtle appearance. However, you've mentioned that they may be less durable compared to other styles. If I invest on SL lenses, would it be more secure to avoid rimless frames? Regarding the frames, I understand that you believe some ICB (ic! berlin) models are better than most PD (Porsche Design) and vice versa. It would be helpful to have a consultation with you to provide more specific advice on these styles. In the meantime, could you let me know which of the following frames are rimless and what your priorities are in terms of comfort, durability, and style? - ic! berlin WOLFENER 002 Black (Schwarz) - ic! berlin MITTE 002 Black (Schwarz) - CO Optical CO1 1151 S22 matt black (Schwarz) - Porsche Design P 8362 A black (Schwarz) Also, congratulations on being involved in the launch of SL!

Are Ted Baker glasses an ok quality. I can’t afford Cartier 😪. Just wondering what company makes Ted Baker ones and if they are on budget ones. I’ve tried on hundreds of frames but there is only one pair that look ok on me they are Ted Baker 😬
FWIW I wore a Ted Baker frame for a couple of years. Quality was pretty poor, but they were cheap and like you I liked the style. But styles change and I'm sure you'll find other designs that suit you, even if you didn't think so before.
@@raymondding5746 I keep changing my mind from one day to the next nothing suits me at all. All the trying on and looking at different angles has now made me self conscious of my aging face now 😂😂
Probably worth specifying if that's gold the material or gold the colour. If it's for religious reasons then might be worth considering the reason behind such a rule, maybe it's considered not good to wear precious metals for instance, in which case gold and platinum are the same in such a context. Wood or horn would then be better choices, which is ironic because those are more expensive
Probably best not to get too carried away when having your glasses customized, especially if it's your primary (or only) pair. While it is nice to have a pair with an outlandish tint, shape or loads of fancy detailing, you will need your primary or only glasses to be relatively conservative so you can wear them in an office and similar environments where the outlandish glasses would be out of place and unprofessional. What is a conservative pair of glasses? It's one where the frames are conventional in shape, style and colour, with clear lenses (particularly inside, though if the tint is a light gray, brown or yellow tint and you have a light sensitivity condition, that's an exception to the clear lens requirement indoors), or grey or brown in the case of sunglasses. Most of the glasses in this video do not meet the conservative ''office'' standard, they are more for parties or vacationing.
This is the 2nd time I’ve noticed this. You’re talking about customization. Not Cartier. These design details have nothing more to do with Cartier than they do with any lens or frame. It’s not as though we can only tint Cartier lenses. Your presentation is misleading.
I love your videos. But your sound is the worst with all the reverb. Why don't you use your microphone anymore? I understand that this channel is mostly about visual things. But better audio would definitely improve everything.
I appreciate your feedback. I try to produce the best audio possible, but our studio is pretty big and therefore quite echoey. I found the mic caused a lot of problems. Let me think about what will be the solution
Hi Robert, My name is Sal and I was wondering if I could get your email. I manage a small optical shop with my dad in California, and I wanted to get some advice and help with running it and how to be better opticians. Are you okay if I email you and we can chat back and forth? I promise it's not soliciting, just wanted to connect, become mates and get some mentorship. Best regards, Sal
Never been a fan of Santos de Cartier and the exposed screws. But that white buff Santos, got to say, is beautiful.
It's pretty special! We sold out already haha
what's the model number of the white buff Santos?@@thespectaclefactory
Excellent presentation, Cartiers are my personal favorite. Those are some beautiful tints at the end😮

Hey Robert, which Cartier would you recommend for someone who cannot wear gold (forbidden in my religion)
Is rose gold allowed? If so then the solid rose gold pieces. Otherwise, anything silver you see in Cartier is Platinum, so that should be fine, right?
Probably worth specifying if that's gold the material or gold the colour.
