What a soothing, informative and overall well made video. Perfect choice of soundtrack as well.

[@aarond9563]

Informative? What information did you gain about how it's actually made rather than simply the steps they took. If anything this is an inspiration reel of close-up shots. This wasn't helpful AT ALL in terms of actually understanding how they're made. It was just a ton of macro shots that didn't allow you to practically see any process.

the quality still good 9 year later

[@samspace81]

How'd that work out? 😎

[@SonnyBurnett1988]

Wish they still made 69218s. Don Johnson wore a pair of them in Season 3 of Miami Vice and the only ones I can find are either sold out or they're over $400.

[@sonnymtv3960]

and too bad no one makes fake replica, not even Chinese...

[@GabrielRamos-ji9gu]

SonnyBurnett1988 400$ is standard rate for Ratti’s considering the Ratti factory is gone and those glasses made there can never be made again - it’s like a price of original art you can wear! I’d get those shades pronto. Current government destroying the country and the economy long with it, better snag em while you can, before the price rockets to 2 or 3 grand!

[@samspace81]

400 😂 I wish now

[@alimunafkanchwala1466]

love persol had a pair of po2958s from entourage season 6 that ari gold wore. LOST THEM , after two years found them on eBay again! I win!

I own a pair of these, but if you have OCD you may want to stay away. Because these are handmade you will see little imperfections in the frames. Just sayin'

[@SR-ob3wn]

So is Persol one of the last glasses companies to not outsource production to China? I’ve read that most “Made in Italy” glasses are actually made in China, then just finished in Italy to get the “Made in Italy” label.

[@FossilBluff]

I'm not sure where this particular production factory is. I like to think it's in Italy.

[@skawzer07]

did he say tunisie ???

[@sack1234ful]

Are just the special editions hand made or all Persol glasses in general?

[@rodrom5704]

lens crafters will make you dependent on their mass distribution capabilities, you will gain and expand persol than lens crafters will cutt you off completely on some technicality than your company will become desperate and have no choice but to sell the brand to lens crafters your welcome... dont believe me look up oakley history

[@Barkingspider]

Rod Rom dude you are clueless. Luxottica owns LensCrafters and Persol. Lmao.

[@rodrom5704]

Steve1776 they don't own persol yet they are merely partners now. Lens crafters, sunglasses hut, are owned by Luxatica yes. There are still independent eyeglass makers out their that luxatica have there greedy eyes on

[@Barkingspider]

Rod Rom luxottica is the Parent company to Persol, and yes owns LensCrafters and sunglass hut. Your original tweet is null and void. Period.

[@gennadeau5543]

Rod Rom you are correct. Others don't have their facts right. The luxottuca factories assemble Chanel, Oakley, ray bans, and yes, even persol in the same building. There are many videos and interviews done with the CFO of Luxottica explaining the process.

[@vasyapupken]

wait wait wait. since when CNC machining starts to mean "handmade" ??? it is not "made by hand" it is just "hand finished" or "hand assembled" :/

Ya ya..I know..i've learned my lesson since this was posted. Or assembled partially by hand.

[@Deal_Advisor]

100% agree with your approach. I personally think the same way. Own 3 pairs, 2 of them 714 Steve McQueens, absolutely love them

[@gennadeau5543]

Arent these made in the same luxottica factory as Oakley, vogue and ray bans?

[@FossilBluff]

Not sure if it's the same factory, but according to their Wikipedia page, all "Plastic" glasses are made in Italy. Plastic is in quotes which may include acetate? Not sure, but the say Italy.

[@quokkamode1484]

Jenevieve Nadeau no they are made in the persol factory.

[@KailKail1]

Luxottica owns literally 2/3 if not more of the glasses made in the entire world. Production will be made in the same place but are made differently. Ray bans are made in Italy just like persol and Oliver people.

[@quokkamode1484]

Kail Kail cheaper raybans are shit. They have plsatic glass very mediocre frame and is worth around the 70 euro's but it is solled for 180. Persol/randolph engineering/american optical/serengeti are from very high quality for an okay price.

[@killerjhul]

No. Persols are made in the same factory they originally had and continue to be hand made. Most of Luxottica products though are made in the same factory. Maui Jim's are made in Japan and Italy outside of the main Luxottica factory where Ray Bans and Oakleys are made.

[@FossilBluff]

There would probably need to be a 15 episode how-its-made series to detail all the details.

[@aarond9563]

@@FossilBluff No there are many how-its-made videos that are just as if not more complicated than glasses. Like how a watch it made, how an oxford is made, and many more meticulous hand made things that just are longer videos (as one video). Take this as an example posted by Wired about a month ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZm2i3mFaraIo6c. Yes it's incredibly meticulous. I'm not saying you should do this but I would actually be interested in seeing how it's made.

[@manolo9957]

I have a pair since 2010, and i must say thay they are my go to sunglasses for evryday, unless im doing sports then i will wear my oakleys. The quality is superb. I just hope that luxxotica dont cheapen them. Cause ive seen new models like the 649s and the hinges feel kinda crappy unlike the regular classic 649

[@rasterfixate]

I have a new pair and the arms are starting to deteriorate. Its like the acetate isn't blended right or something. It's only happening on the lighter parts of the arms.
