    I'm an avid eyewear collector and Cartier is my number one brand... and even though they're owned by Kerring now, they still will always be! I want those green woods with those octagon contrast lenses in that matching green. Those are too sharp!

    A year ago I bought the McLaren sport series. I have worn glasses for 35 years and I can safely say they’re the best I’ve ever had. I live in Arizona, USA and I was a bit hesitant to buy long distance, but Robert made the experience painless. He gave me options and helped me choose the right frames and lenses for me. The frames arrived swiftly with no issues whatsoever. The prescription was spot on and I use multifocal. Superb quality all around. It’s getting close for me to update my prescription but i will just upgrade the lenses. I’m very happy with my McLaren and I don’t want to change to another brand for a while. Thank you Robert!

    Robert, I just wanted to thank you and your crew one more time. You guys did an absolutely outstanding job creating My Reykjavik gold series with a rose tint blue flash. I have an eye condition that has made me legally blind. I’ve been watching this channel for over a year. I finally figured out the combination that I want in my mind I had to relay what I wanted to Robert, and he added a few things to make it pop more. My glasses are the best that I’ve ever owned, and I will be ordering several more pair.thank you again everyone at the spectacle factory for their magnificent work

    I do like my reykjavik eyes Sirus pair a lot. Awesome tint on them. But one thing I don't like about many rimless is how much the join/hinge creeps into the field of view in the lens. You get used to it after a while and it does disappear but its a bit like having an annoying fly in your vision for a while. Lindberg look like the only designer that have addressed this as the clasp doesn't intrude much at all. If i was getting another pair, i'd try Lindberg as the base and customise from there (if possible of course)

    • @thespectaclefactory
      @thespectaclefactory  Před měsícem +2

      That's a fair point. Hoya years ago developed a system with zero drill holes through the lens and therefore no visual interruption... but it didn't take off and they eventually discontinued it. It was called Avantek and the machinery to produce them was all sold off and dismantled

I'm sure many people would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of each lense material and how they look on the face. Just sayin'.

Especially since mine are in cool blue titanium with blue photofusion x and ruby flash coating.

    A technical question about rimless tech: Can the silicone band be stretched to allow for a bigger lens than the stock lens or can the shape of the lens merely be custom made while retaining the same circumference?

    • @thespectaclefactory

      Yes, it can be stretched somewhat, so you can go 2-3mm larger with no issues, maybe slightly more depending on the overall circumference of the shape.

    I think you misspoke:

    Followed by a demonstration of one-handed removal…
    @ ~5.24: _“…that’s going to loosen your rimless glasses very quickly…”_
    You start with two-handed = bad, one-handed = good.
    Then, you critique one-handed removal for loosening the bolts.
    It makes zero logistical sense to claim something is good, only to criticize its shortcomings:
    _“Always take your glasses off with one hand, because loosening your bolts is good.”_
    That’s not a thing people say.

    1. Is two-handed removal *good* or *bad?*
    2.. Is loosening the bolts *good* or *bad?*
