Haha! I guessed the winner correctly even before you had filled any of the countries into the table
Well, it's just true that RE are objectively the best 🤷
Do a Japan championship next 😎 Would love to hear your opinion
I'm guessing that Masunaga would win that tournament but it would be great to see nonetheless. Better yet, it would be riveting to see Robert travel to Japan and tour all their eyewear workshops.
This please! I just bought my first pair of Matsuda rimless and absolutely love them!
Great idea!
Cartier all the way!!
Absolutely! If I get a Cartier Tank or Roadster I’d get a pair of Cartier sunglasses.
Quite a creative presentation! I love hearing about personalities of the individual designers.
Thank you so much! And me too - I love the human element behind eyewear
Fun comparison video. Well done Robert! Nice way to truly see Euro brands.
🤓 I love these CZcams videos! Thank you for sharing this invaluable resource!😅😮
You are so welcome!
Wow! Great competition! Lots of considerations to make. Really proud to have my Heimdall frame here! 😁
Thanks!
My money was on Reykjavík Eyes, before you’d even started Robert! 😂😂. I do like the TAVAT Sunglasses.
Reykjavik eyes and Lucas de Steal with RE being the winner . We know Robert too well by now ; )
@@alexandrekan99 We sure do!😂. I’ve just had a pair of sunglasses from him, but I didn’t pick the winners!😂😂
@@Mark-P Yeah. He's the man to go to when it comes to glasses. I learned a lot from him.
A creative way to present the best eyewear brands in Europe. I would really want a pair of Reykjavik Eyes but they are not available in Asia. It would be nice if you'd do one of these tourneys for Japanese brands.
I will be doing for sure when I feel like I'm more of an expert. I've been researching Japanese eyewear as much as I can over the last year or so. I'll hopefully be visiting the factories at some point too
@@thespectaclefactoryi Hope so❤
Wow! That was exciting, with twists and turns around every corner. I didn't know Marcus Marienfeld but his glasses are stunning and, perhaps, if I were pushed, I would say they are the best on this list. I would also love to own a pair of Lindberg buffalo horn glasses. There is one eyewear workshop that stands above all others, however. Made in France, totally bespoke... Maison Bonnet. Robert most certainly wins the MVP of this tournament. He makes Ronaldo look like Pee Wee Herman at Tupperware party.
I drool over Maison Bonnet
@@walterlee4796 Me too. I don't have $20,000 for a pair of hawksbill turtle glasses so I've encouraged Robert to make the trips (yes, plural) needed to Paris to get a pair for himself and make a series of videos about the process. This way I can live my dream of owning a pair of Maison Bonnets vicariously through Robert. Besides, Robert deserves the very best, don't you think?
Only one time VAR and (almost) no yellow cards - a truly fair referee of the EEC 🤩
First time a referee has ever been praised
Nice idea and introduced me to a couple of brands I wasn't previously familiar with.
Enough with the Reykjavik Eyes though.. we know you like them! And Iceland aren't even in Euro 2024. Could have easily used Belgium with Theo or Komorebi, Spain with Etnia, or even Poland with Albert I'mStein!
Love your comparison videos. You introduced many brands I've never heard of through all your videos. Thank you for spreading your wealth of knowledge.
I canot pick one, that's why i have a collection🤗
Ha ha ha. Exactly my thoughts as well.
I really wish I could find some of these in the States
We ship to the US every day
Hey Robert, firstly thanks so much for another great video. Had one question for you. What so you think and have you had any experience with the brand „True Vision Revival“? Recently bought a new pair from them and was mind blown. Much love
Really enjoyed this video!! So nice to discover more about the manufactors, their unique personalities and the places of origin! Thank youu Rob.😹 Great content as always.😻You with one pair of glasses?! 😹 Well done Iceland.🎉 xx
Hey man, have an off topic question. Do the zeiss clear view lenses that have 700 focus points give you a clear sharp view while looking anywhere in the lens horizontally or does it behave the same vertically too?
Germany: IC Berlin - Denmark: Nine Eyewear - Iceland: Reykavik eyes - England: Cutler & gross - Swiss: Marcus - France: Lucas de Stael - Italy: Blackfin - Austria: Robert La Rouche.... For me it will Denmark and Itali , but in my mind Blackfin will win
Genius! Please more brackets and top 5's. Sports fans and debaters alike love it and love to hate it. ❤ super smart.
Hi, thanks for the video. Once again I've learnt about some new brands. I have a off topic question, if you don't mind. Have you ever heard of rim blocking screws? I'm asking because I saw some strange looking pieces of titanium on Gotti "Lyan" frames (big chunks of titanium attached to the main frame on both sides on the inside of the main frame). I have asked about it Gotti customer support and they gave that exact answer "rim blocking screws". Those supposedly keep the frame together. Now I know screws are necessary sometimes but I never saw anything like it. Seems like those are very intrusive and can be irritating while using the frames. I can't put the image there, unfortunately.
sir help me i am pakistani my eye power is -11 and which is best frame for me like thick acetate
Fantastic review
🙏
Binge a lot of your videos this evening and would love to hear your opinion on linda farrow sunglasses. Especially for women.
Can you do please video for best cheap eyeglasses!!
Great fun video. LDS for the win ! 😀
Hey Robert! Slight tangent from the video, but I was curious what your thoughts are on the company Cubitts?
Probably the best of that kind of product, but they are very much a Garrett Leight clone (one of many)
What do you think of TBD eyewear?
Do love your videos. Can you make a video about brands wich are cheaper, but still good quality. Something like a mid range brands, for poeple like me who can't afford the best of the best. I guess I am not the only one, so the video will be interesting.
Yes, was thinking of that anyway
@@thespectaclefactory waiting for it. By the way, I live in Bulgaria and most of the opticians in the country sell a brand they represend as italian called "modena". I don't know if their frames are good, but almost every optician recommend them as a good mid range choice.
Hy Robert, if your like small companies take a look at frost eyewear from Germany. And will there be a video for the new hideous Kojima line by jfrey?
OK, thanks for the tip!
And yes 😉 it's imminent. The most exciting release in a long time for me.
lol hideous? it's more wearable than the previous one
@@jojotwice8918 he meant Hideo... Autocorrect
@@lowbirds90 thanks, this is what I meant
I have Lindberg Buffalo horn glasses and so I’m bias but I can see why RE are up there
I don't know much about eye wear except the fact that I like them. I am currently a Vuarnet customer and really love my Aspen X, Louis Vuitton is letting me down BIG time, don't understand what's going on with them, my Conspiration Mask sunglasses where a work of art. Now to this video, sorry - not sorry, Cartier wins, hands down, presentation, lens quality, attention to detail, and the fact that they don't let you buy the sunglasses in their online store, but instead ask you to book an appointment for a proper fitting and to show you all the options and give their customers the treatment they deserve, yes! You pay over $1,000 USD., but you are paying for the whole package 📦, Cartier is just simply THE BEST THERE IS! ❤
Vuarnet glasses are simply great!
I would've said probably LDS but for value and quality u really can't beat reykjavik eyes they r literally indestructible and weightless
Yeah, on another day I might pick someone else but when I try to be completely objective I just can't look past them. And I think anyone who disagrees doesn't own a pair
@@thespectaclefactory exactly i mean everything really depends on what a person is looking for as well I really like all the brands u mentioned
Hello. Look For John Dalia for France. This Is a Interresting Glasses Brand.
Curry and Paxton for England?
Not a bad shout
Compared with all the glasses shown , Reykjavík Eyes are better or as good as .
There s nothing looming or in existence that can beat them .
What you going to do ? There’s nothing you can do 😎
Robert, why am I seeing so many ULTRA CHEAP ($45.00 and lower) frames that are off the charts stunning and ground breaking in both color and design and dull uninspired ULTRA expensive frames? How can this be?
No Maison Bonnet?
I'm currently researching them
Flair would've been a better representative for Germany
Yes, I definitely should have considered Flair - they could possibly have defeated Lindberg in the quarter final, too
Why is it that these companies don’t make their products available in these here United States of America? That Marcus Marienfeld and Reykyavik Eyes can’t be purchased here. Totally bogus if you ask me.
Austria ❤
Maybach is the best for germany
In hindsight, that was a bad omission by me. Not intentional... they probably should have represented Germany. Still would have lost out to Lindberg though
Why does Stalin need a vision consultant?
I thought he was dead.
Hahaha
No Cubitts for UK? For the influence, go no further: scarcely any show on the BBC passes without somebody or even several people wearing Cubitts...
*Excellent* collection of contenders. I absolutely *love* hearing new names. Another great example of content that would benefit from a list of hyperlinks in the description.
Pause… rewind… listen… write… new window… paste… loading… 404… check spelling… correct… reload… Found it!… return to the video…
And then do it all again. Seven more times.
I’d do it myself in the comments, but YT forbids it (for good reason. all anyone would ever see is naughty pictures, crypo, and free ipds). I’d can say with confidence, people would bookmark these videos for the list of reference links alone, regardless of how they felt about the content. I’m constantly forgetting the names of certain designers. To wit; _“I think I saw them in the titanium video from a few weeks ago? (goes to video…) There they are! Now what was their name? Bingo! There it is in the description.”_
There’s almost certainly room for a solution that’s more elegant in terms of technology and implementation, but I’m not a CZcamss, so I’m unfamiliar with the “paradigm.” Lord that’s a horrible word. Is it even possible to say it without rolling one’s eyes?

Fun fact; I just had a seizure whilst writing this! Look at the clock… Blink… Suddenly 4.5 hours instantly evaporated into thin air? Silver lining, at least I didn’t regain consciousness up on the floor, broken bones, lying in a pool of my own blood.
EDIT: It _might_ have been an alien abduction, but my foil-hat is in the shop. We’ll have to wait for its return before I continue my investigation. I’ll keep you informed of any meaningful developments.
*REAL QUESTION:* Can you recommend a pair of frames that will survive a violent, convulsive, head-smashing, bone-breaking, tooth-chipping, pants-soiling, blood on your face, grand-mal drop-seizure (concrete, not carpet) that happen without aura or warning? I could *seriously* get on board with such a thing should it exist. If it helps, my favourite colour is red, I’ve a soft spot for genuine tortoise shell, and my (negotiable) ceiling is ~$3k Cdn.
Huh, I guess it’s a recurring theme with Germans having Austrian leaders 😂
Lol
6:11 Vuarnet wasn't even mentioned in the conversation. Going to assume because they are sunglasses and not opticals.
The toughest bracket, made it all the way to the championship, only to come home without the 🏆
another ad for reykjavik
I think it’s hilarious how he’s always talking negatively about Blackfin while praising Reykjavik Eyes that are made in the same factory, by the same people with the same technology.
Do you own a pair? If so, which brand would you objectively rank above them?
We make a lot more money from Cartier than RE so definitely not an ad.
Regarding Blackfin, I'm keeping a close eye on them as they have improved a lot in the last year or two.
Flip off. Go somewhere else if you caint handle free, honest, and informative content! YOUR COMMENT IS NOT OK!
@@thespectaclefactoryi think blackfin Is Amazing italian quality but i love also Japan charmant z that I think you dont use, RE Is Amazing concept also, all of US have his fauvorite but RE Is objective Amazing but It Is also true that they are product in Italy❤
First time ever I stopped watching after Cartier was dropped. Go to any high end store or optician- it’s Cartier all the way. The first time I heard of Lucas De Stael was on this forum. ☹️👎
