Reykjavik Eyes are without question world's most comfortable glasses but the Masunaga rimless are even more stunning in person than they are on the video.
I agree. Better in person
@@thespectaclefactoryAre there titanium glasses you’d recommend for a wide bridge-22 mm?
I can’t wait to get my rimless Reykjavik in a few wks. Thxs so much Robert for all the help picking them out with the tints.
Incredibly valuable perspective on some truly beautiful frames. The choice is hard but you really do a wonderful job pointing out considerations. Thank you
Hmm, I fear a new 'rather expensive' hobby is brewing :) Thx for the consultation last week. Cannot wait to see my new Reykjavik Eyes specs. They felt amazing! I do have my eye on Masunaga!
Haha, you're welcome! The two Lindbergs you have are great too
@@thespectaclefactory yeah Lindberg was my introduction to the world of high-end specs. Love them.
I totally AGREE! This channel is mesmerizing. I really like it though.
@@Creativepianoacademy I just got my own first pair of Lindberg frames. That lead to me discovering this channel... I too fear the "need" to add a pair of Lucas de Stael, Reykjavik Eyes, Masunaga, and Barton Parreira to what I have... Never had more than a single pair of glasses at a time and now I am considering multiple pairs. This channel is insidious and wonderful all at the same time!
They are all lovely. I like the Albas the most but the Rindo look amazing.
Superb Robert, thank you!
One day it will be a pair of both! To add to growing wardrobe of glasses! Alba was probably my favourite! And a rather expensive hobby growing for me!
I just picked up Masunaga’s titanium eyeglasses. It’s so light and beautiful. 😊
Same
How do I order Reykjavik for the USA? And ideally with lenses. I can’t find anywhere selling them
I love the styling of my Matsuda and Barton Perreira frames, but I have to force myself to take off my RE frames to wear them. Wonder how the Masunaga rimless would look as a sunglass. Thanks for the video!
Great vid as always Robert, see you in a fortnight 👀
An absolutely stunning comparison video where two rather diffent conceptual brands suddenly were made possible to compare. What a pleasant dilemma for the eyewear wardrobe owner 😍😉
Just in time for the end of the day a new video. Perfect
Brah. It’s only noon.
@@RT-ol4hhnot in Germany 😅
Another beautiful vlog ✨💗
Thank you!! 😊
I def go with your Reykjavik Rikhards, can't wait until I can make it to your store
Awesome choice
Wow! Those Rindos are the bee’s knees!!!
Great stuff as usual🤓
Thank you 🙏
Great review and contrasting manufacturers. I admire both but I think a pair of Rekyavik Eyes will be mine at some point this year.
I'd go for RE too if I had to choose
I love your tint selection on your frames.
Thanks! I featured them here: ruclips.net/video/UET9NQEbaqw/видео.html&ab_channel=TheSpectacleFactory
I would love to have glasses with that tint.
Like always good video Robert and I agree with your assessment it really depends if you want the weightless almost like there's nothing on your face feel then go with Reykjavik but if you really want something out there with more flair masunaga is a very good choice. How do you feel about the brand Matsuda?
Lucky to own 7 pairs of Masunaga. Have been my top choice since 2014 👍🏼
That's incredible! What a collection
Bang, i already emailed you on the Reykjavik Eyes Krafla. Already own a Masunaga and i want to try the other side of the mirror :D. One question, the northern lights lenses are made from your store ? Thank you.
Love the runar….funny it’s not googleable. Will have to keep these in mind the next time I get glasses from you guys
It's brand new, unreleased
Oooo....so cool 😊
@@thespectaclefactoryit the only colour blue? Just considering a photo fusion x lens but not sure I want to see the world as blue vs more realistic colours of the pioneer
Could not come at a better time. Just found an optical that sells Masunaga frames. Now I’m debating if I should buy some Masunaga titanium frames. Safe to say Robert’s timing is perfect.
Glad I could help! BTW, you can order Masunaga with us wherever in the world you are
Do you have any reviews about Matsuda frames?
What frames are in the thumbnail to the right ?
Brilliant video Rob 👌Do you still have the Krafla as l definitely need a pair. Thanks 🙏
We do! Thank you so much Robert
This is only my second video I've watched on this channel and it is, without a doubt, the most amazing eyewear video I've ever seen. Wow, at first I thought I wanted Masunaga but then Reykjavik was just as persuasive. They both seem like perfection to me! .... just like you. ♥
Do you have recommendations for titanium glasses that the arms are also? Highly allergic to preservatives so can’t have any of the plastics on the end of the arms.
Hey Robert! Thank you very much for the amazing eyewear-content!
What do you think of Masunaga acetate frames? Would you still say, they are amongst the very best in the world in terms of craftsmanship, finishing and polishing?
Definitely!
Hello sir , I'm from India . I'm 24 yeras old and using progressive lens . Sir is ziess Light D progressive lens suitable for me according to my active lifestyle. I can't stretch my budget beyond Light D !
I really like what you are doing for the glasses industry here in YT. I was looking in your videos, but did not find, (correct me if I am wrong) video about, is it worth buying a quality frames and make a tinted lenses, just to wear them as sunglasses. No prescription, just put an AR coating and colour on your lenses instead of buying sunglasses just make them with Zeiss or Hoya lenses. I am planning to do that, but is it worth it, because the price is jumping high.
Having owning a pair of Masunaga Robert and now wearing Reykjavik eyes I wouldn’t disagree both great glasses just different
Spectacle Factory doesn't stock them but an excellent Japanese Titanium alternative - Matsuda. I just got a pair and they are top notch, have no doubt these are going to last many, many years.
The whole Japanese Big 3 (Matsuda, Masunaga, Eyevan) are all splendid!
Hi Robert, This video makes it more relevant for me to ask you one question, I have been thinking of. Given a tough choice of buying only 2 frames/ brands in Japan and made in Japan, what will be your choices? I’m highly impressed with Masunaga, Matsuda, Dita etc. but I can probably trust your judgement of choosing the 2 brands/ frames which are quintessentially Japanese in terms of creaftsmanship and material. Hoping to hear your thoughts.
Probably Masunaga and Eyevan
Be careful guys with your temples on Reykjavik Eyes, I accidentally sat on my Alvars' temples and they broke :/
Did you get them fixed in warranty?
I missed Silhouette in this comparison. How would you compare it to them?
I don't think Silhouette are anywhere close

What are the glasses he is wearing at the start?
Featured here: ruclips.net/video/UET9NQEbaqw/видео.htmlsi=nnp2FQt_Nrir7Bqy - I'd love to replicate them for you
The rimless matsuda glasses go hard but I can’t just go buy them 😔
Do you still expect a Masunaga/Matsuda frame to last 20+ years assuming it doesn't get ran over and is well taken care of?
Yes
Sooo long story short, now that my Alvars are almost here, something else is added to the list of requirements. 🤣
My Silhouette titanium frames are now 2 years old and show no sign of paint chipping!
Hinges are usually issues with Shilhouette frames and if hingeless the shape retention and breaking on the stress lines.
Reykjavik are probably made by Blackfin. The pioneer of titanium in Italy
Robert you are “acring” that presentation
Thanks 🙏
Never heard these names! Where are they from?
First!
Here’s the main issue: All of their frames (Reykjavik and Masunaga) are just to ding dang narrow! I have a big ole wide/fat face. I need a wide frame. I want to buy these frames, but I fear they’re just too ding dang narrow.
RE definitely have several wide fitting models
How much?
OK. So these best titanium glasses in 2024 comparison, is it in the world or those carried by the Spectacle Factory? Also It doesn't include Cartier. I can understand that. Good but nothing really special. But where is Jacque Marie Mage, which is both good and really special?
I would say the best in the world. I do a lot of research on eyewear and travel all over to do so. JMM are beautiful, but do they give you anything beyond what Masunaga does I'm not sure. They certainly aren't as comfortable. Also, very few Cartier are titanium.
@@thespectaclefactory To start with I have about 30+ frames ranging from Lindberg to Maybach and Chrome Hearts.I've been wearing eyewear for many years. With this out of the way, I can see your logic. To answer your question about JMM providing beyond what Masunaga or Reykjavik Eyes can do? , I'd say resounding YES to due to the variety of JMM styles that just can't be obtained from them. In titanium JMM has frames like 1980, which is a very nice navigator frame, dramatically different from the Oatman, a midwest inspired frame. 1980 or Reynold are a very lightweight titanium frames, which are extremely easy to wear. (JMM also has some heavier bolder frames that are not quite my taste, Perhaps these ones you are referring to when you say that "certainly aren't as comfortable"?) In the way 1980 is designed with subtly varying the depth of the surfaces and shine level that is pure sophistication. Can Masunaga build something like this- for sure they can as they have been making frames since 1905. Do they have any current model that blends the modern art design as successfully as JMM?
how are people supposed to have a glasses wardrobe when the lenses themselves are hundreds and hundreds of dollars for each pair of glasses? The cost of Rx lenses is frustratingly exorbitant unless you want crappy thick lenses.
Reykjavik is the king of this kingdom
And i thought Maybach is better. Now i want RE..
💯
You guys need to fix your website ( mobile version).
reykjavik has some of the most boring styles ever. idk why he swoons over them all the time
I gave them a 6/10 for style
@@thespectaclefactory nah they deserve a 3 for their derivative designs. even that blue one was soooooo boring
for make new pair of glass by you, how to contact you?
