REVEALING My Glasses Collection - Worst to Best!

[@patrickklein2765]

Quite fun seeing your personal collection and understanding which you wear more than others. I don't feel as bad now owning more frames than I "need". Genuinely appreciate your style, approach and thoughtful reviews. Wish you were in the States.

[@thespectaclefactory]

We really appreciate your support and to be fair you can never have too many😉 Maybe one day we'll open a branch over in the states, but for now you can book a free virtual consultation with myself and I'll help you choose the best frames and lenses for you and help you grow your eyewear collection.

​@@thespectaclefactory Hi. I have sent 4 emails but still haven't got a response. Can you please respond? I wanted to get a certain pair of Porsche design sunglasses for my nephews. Please respond ASAP.

[@stoehr]

Just happened to get on YT and this was the first recommended video to me. Uploaded 27 seconds ago. Been wanting such a video of your personal collection for inspiration. Thank you!

[@thespectaclefactory]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@AwsamNick]

I think those Hideo Kojima ones look sick, and honestly, I was thinking of buying some of his other frames, he really has a creative style that is so cool. I love to see a fellow fan of his work!

[@thespectaclefactory]

Same!

[@GainzB4Gamez]

Bro, to be transparent I’ve watched over 4 hours of your content in the past 3 days LOL I’ve learned so much that when I went my local optician shop I was actually frustrated at how LITTLE they knew about the products they were trying to sell me! I ended up canceling my order with them because I plan on buying from you after learning you can ship to the US. I’ll look into booking a virtual consultation to perfect the frame and tint combo. Also wondering about pricing as I assume you do not take my US insurance called VSP.

[@thespectaclefactory]

I look forward to meeting you! We can discuss your budget and pricing during the call

[@davidhunternyc1]

Same thing happened to me! I live in NYC and I too want to find an optician that uses the same cutting edge digital technology for my next pair of lenses. Is there a place? I don't know.

[@lakishaweaks9784]

Good luck they just want to sell the frames & maybe a transition lens but customizing 2 u design yeah right.​@davidhunternyc1

[@davidhunternyc1]

@@lakishaweaks9784 Well, since my reply a month ago, I looked high and low for glass lenses here in NYC, sadly, to no avail. The excuse optometrists give is that they no longer make glass lenses due to lawsuits. From what I've heard, this is a lie. Instead, optometrists are being lazy. It's easier to maximize profits selling plastic lenses. Why am I not surprised? Thankfully, I reached out to The Spectacle Factory and had a virtual appointment with Robert. I'm fortunate to say that he's customizing 2 pair of Masunaga glasses for me, with one pair being make with real Zeiss glass. I'm super excited.

[@philipphortnagl2486]

My favs of yours are (in no particular order): Ahlem NY(love the design of the frame, the tint is too pink imho, would go more into organe or yellow), the Mojo looks quite unspecatuclar for me, but what you did with the yellow lens rime is a great fit, all the Reykjavik glasses, the transparent/grey Eco with purple tint (love them!!)

[@lindakuo88]

I really like the Alum New York. I do agree and think they’re a little too “pink” have you considered a lavender tint? Or green?

[@nataliaderevyanko8762]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection with us! I like the 1 of 1, Barton Perreira and the Mapi most, though each pair looks good on you and is very very well suited in terms of style. Oh, your car is unbelievable, congratulations on daring to drive such a beauty!

[@thespectaclefactory]

Thank you Natalia!!

[@Ronin-kk4bt]

You’re collection is awesome mate 👏 I don’t know which is my favorite you have so many stylish and impressive looking glasses

[@thespectaclefactory]

We really appreciate the support and we're so glad you enjoyed the video.

[@genkestrel7254]

Yes! Such a great video. Each time I watch your videos I find myself wondering, would it be okay to ask Robert the details of the glasses he's wearing because man! They're so on point, cool and they fit him so well

[@thespectaclefactory]

Thanks! And you can always ask me

[@ronjenkins8529]

Great video! Though I'm suspicious that these might not be all of your glasses. ;-) Insightful thoughts on the spot for pairs that might not be tops in the rotation -- where obvy not every pair can be worn every week when you have dozens of pairs.

[@CryptKrow]

I love my Reykjavik Alvars thanks so much Robert , happy new years🎉

[@thespectaclefactory]

So glad you're enjoying them!

[@lakishaweaks9784]

I just bought my 1st pair this morning can't wait to get them.😊

[@gengator4543]

Love the video. Only a few I hadn’t seen, but I think like everyone else I was shocked Robert didn’t have a pair of Cartier glasses. Great collection though. Love it👍

[@thespectaclefactory]

🙏

[@DBSites]

I keep going back to this video just because I love seeing this collection. I love your 1 of 1 from Reykjavik Eyes, though I know that if I wanted something similar, I’d go with the Fulla with those same lenses, which I’ll likely do in the future.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Hope it inspires you each time! I could do to have a wardrobe update, maybe rate each pair out of 10 or something

[@DBSites]

@@thespectaclefactoryPossibly. That would be interesting to see. I’m also curious about what your SF Score would be for JF Rey. Part of that is because I’m looking into a new JF Rey and Kojima frame at the moment which is aesthetically very similar to the black carbon wood frame you have. But my main focus at the moment is on the White Gold Alvar.

[@dedwardmalick]

I greatly appreciate your videos. They are very informative. Thank you, and take care! By the way, your JLC Reverso looks fantastic.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Thank you so much!

[@johngrath9773]

Hi Rob. Wondering, do you reglaze the frames as your prescription changes or do you just keep them as they are? Great collection!

[@thespectaclefactory]

I tend to keep them as they are unless it's a pair I wear a lot

[@TheVelvetRoom-ul7gx]

Happy new year Rob. What a collection! You have some really interesting sets there. For me, in joint 3rd place would be the Fitz (most original tint for me) and the Alba (one day… one day…). Second place is your one off Reykjavik Eyes 1 of 1. I’d love to get something similar with the same adaptive sun tint. Best pair have to be your custom Barton Perreira Tom. The tint, the custom shape all wrapped up in my favourite brand. #SimplyPerfect!

[@thespectaclefactory]

We really appreciate your support! If you'd like your own pair of custom tinted glasses, make sure you contact us at... www.thespectaclefactory.com/v-contact and we'll help you get the best glasses for you.

[@TheVelvetRoom-ul7gx]

@@thespectaclefactory I’m due another test so I’ll see if I can come up and get the full experience.

[@davidhunternyc1]

I love the last pair, your Reykjavik Eyes Alvar, because they both are stylish and get out of the way so we can focus on your astonishingly handsome face. 🔥 What's even crazier, is on the opposite side of the spectrum, I love your "boring" Walter & Herbert Churchill. This style, the "P3" can be traced to the 1930s, when the U.S. army invented the unique shape for nearsighted soldiers to wear under their gas masks. The P stands for pantoscopic tilt - the tilt of the lens toward your cheeks - with the 3 referring to the difference in millimeters between the width and height of the lens. From its military origins, the shape became a Hollywood signature when screen icons like James Dean and Grace Kelly started wearing it. This style is classic and like the Reykjavik Eyes Alvar, they get out of the way, so much so, that your hotness seers through these glasses. James Dean would be proud.

[@thespectaclefactory]

That's a really cool story, wow. Thanks for sharing, and the compliments!

[@pgknighton]

Happy New Year Robert for 2024... I've counted up my collection and have approx 8 - 9 pairs. A long way behind but I'm playing catch up.... Hope to see you all at The Spectacle Factory over the next few months. Got a couple of projects I'm hoping to achieve..... An aviator and a rimless..... Keep making these videos...👓🕶️😎 👌👍

great content. always wondered what you wear most, because at the end whatever we collect, we end up usually wearing mostly just a few of the things we have

[@MuhammadRehanBurney]

Absolutely. Kept on waiting for him to show mine and his favourite Cartier spectacles which he owns. Very surprising. The best frame I liked was CAZAL 602. Robert, could I know where to get them and how much do they cost?

[@TommyCOL2]

the Ahlem New York, is that Peony Gold or Champagne? Also I think a more blush rosetta pink (like cotton candy) or olive green would suit your complexion better

[@thespectaclefactory]

Champagne. Olive green sounds interesting

[@nobothehoboyt]

Do you personally use your Barton Perreira Tom frames with prescription lenses? Also, would you recommend the custom Barton Perreira configuration you have as a good everyday prescription lens for both indoor and outdoor use? I am thinking of doing them without the flash coating as my next prescription frame, but wanted to ask your advice! 😄

[@lindakuo88]

Love the comprehensive philosophy behind Luden’s mask.

[@thespectaclefactory]

[@lindakuo88]

@@thespectaclefactory you’re so articulate in your evaluations and observations. Your delivery is seamless.

[@philipphortnagl2486]

I wonder if all of your glasses are actual prescription lenses? Or do you have some non-optical sunglasses you wear with contact lenses? (I like this when I do sports and wear lenses).

[@Dwightamite7]

For as much as Robert talks about Cartier, I cannot believe he doesn’t own a pair.

[@JmsG-zh7bz]

My thoughts exactly.

[@ilkeradli]

Because the Cartier sunglasses are ridiculously expensive and doesn’t worth it.

[@blackcat9100]

Good point. He explains it (him not having a pair of Cartier) in the video where he has a guest invited (the one who loves attention and who loves Cartier). He says that he's not an attention seeker and that's why Cartier seems over the top for him personally. He's more a Reykiavic eyes kind of guy who likes his glasses well made and understated. What is surprising to me personally is Robert saying over and over again that Reykiavic Eyes are the best glasses in the world. I mean they don't enhance one's appearance in any significant way, very close to not wearing glasses at all.

[@fauzilatif1725]

Robert! Do you add backside anti-reflective coating to your glasses with Flash coating (light tint)? In order to avoid glare when looking through?

[@davidliu8796]

Yeah, agree with marcusdesilva's comment on the Ahlem rose tinted lens... everything before it was really a snoozefest until this pair... not sure why you feel it doesn't match your complexion because it's the only pair up to that point (other than the JF Rey's square/circle frame) that stood out.. but great collection!

hi, im so confused. In some videos you have gradient tint in other videos you have a full yellow tint or blue tint. How do i know which color tint and whether i should have full color tint or a gradient tint? If i can only have 1 pair of tinted glasses as an all day everyday pair, what would you suggest? I work inside at a hotel resort and then i stock the hotel guests mini bar, do id be looking at paper at the room numbers. Sometimes in the holidays ill help housekeeping strip the beds and pick up towels. I dont work on a computer but at home i do like to scroll on my tablet and ive picked up sewing for a hobby. I just wanted to tell you my daily activity so you can help suggest me a tint or gradient tint and which color. Also, can you polarise normal inside glasses? Or polarise is only for sunglasses? Thank you 😊

(6:15 in the video) If you want a reddish tint, but not too red vision, try Enchroma's "indoor" eyeglass lenses. These look reddish from the outside, but enhance all colors. For outside, try the Enchroma "outdoor deutan" sun lens. Color will NEVER be the same!
