The World's top 10 Glasses Brands - From Ray-Ban to Cartier

Matsuda is as good as Masnaga and more well known right now. Just not as influential and has less history. But the quality is on par with Masunaga. World class.

Ok?

[@drkesrf]

@@harveythompson1756 no, not ok. You make no sense. You dont seem to be familiar with robert. Hes mentioned JMM in all his rankings videos. The reason he doesnt talk about them in other videos is because he focuses on brands his store sells, which is reasonable. I own a pair of JMM so you dont need to teach me anything thank you.

[@iamgeoffclements]

Great to see you give Masunaga some love, I'd started to think you were avoiding mentioning them on the channel! For me, the brand missing from the list is J.F. Rey - perhaps not the biggest in mainstream awareness but such an influential contribution to the direction of eyewear design over the years

[@GamSole1899]

Dita should definitely be on the list. It's one of the biggest, most popular, most respected and influential brands of the last 15 years. Yeah yeah, we heard you feel they are derivative of Cazal, but that's really only a few models such as the Grandmaster series and a few others, but most of their body of work don't have any Cazel influence. Besides that its impossible to find any brand that isn't derivative from another. In fact the entire ten brands listed in the video are derivative in one form or another. Its just whether you want to pay attention or not. I was just looking at Chrome Hearts Zelda and Girthquake and they are basically Jacques Marie Mage pairs (or vice versa) from the bold square acetate to the similar arm metal core detail that goes the length of the entire arm. I see Maybach's The Dawn I and I see Dita's Midnight Special from the square lenses to the semi-floating lens to the coin edge detailing. 98% of all eyewear brands are derivative by all using aviator silhouettes. Or other silhouettes. That's just the reality. All brands are derivative, most moreso than Dita. Like I said, it only comes down to whether you wish to pay attention to other brands' derivative-ness or not.

[@m.m4982]

Sounds like you're making excuses for Dita copying Cazals style.

[@GamSole1899]

@@m.m4982 Nope, just pointing out the hypocrisy. Dinging Dita for being influenced on a tiny number of models while letting the brands listed in the video slide when a good chunk of their models are derived from previous silhouettes such as aviators or rimless or horn rim, etc. is laughable at best.

[@tc9392]

DITA is no more and no less derivative than all brands in the list. Well, perhaps less than MOSCOT, since MOSCOT is particularly derivative across the board in their collections. But yeah, most of these brands are on the same playing field.

Poor Oakley, crying all the way to the bank with a 2.1 BILLION purchase price. Not the first time they sold out either. The sold the company, watched the stock drop and bought it back for pennies on the dollar in the 2000's. The founder owned 65% of the stock so he's not poor by any means.

[@mrwilliamhope]

I am really looking forward to your Massunga review. I get how wonderfully passionate you are about Cartier(I understand that as I’m passionate about Lindberg Spirit rimless). I am watching closely how that brand remains. Despite waxing lyrical about Cartier their eyewear at least are owned by Kering, which is sad.

[@matspg]

A comment re: Moscot being made in China...I think (but am not sure) that they've done that for a long time, so I'd like to hear if there has been a demonstrable drop-off in quality ("here is a frame from 2000, and the same from 2020, and here are the differences"). If you want high quality, and also want to keep the price low, then China is likely going to be in the equation. Thanks so much for these videos, they're terrific.

[@pato10111]

Moscot have been making their frames in China since they became a "big" brand in the 2010's. In fact, they have no visible heritage as a brand. Yes, they've been around for a while but the Lemtosh was copied from the Tart Arnel and is not a frame from their past like they lead you to believe. They saw Johnny Depp wear the style, copied it and got him to wear their version for a short period around 2011. They're quality has actually improved over the years. It's just other brands got better when JMM came on the scene and everyone had to try harder.

[@readthetype]

Nothing dates faster than style. The reason Cartier “look great” (define), is because they don’t give a shlt about trends, fashion &c. They have so much confidence they win without playing. Good design exists far beyond mere aesthetics. In fact, done properly, “aesthetics” can be little more than a byproduct when everything else is done to perfection. You also need to define “beauty,” and learn to see it in different ways: Functional: Works well = beautiful Environmental: Small footprint = beautiful Religious: Participates in religious ideology = beautiful Cultural: Serves cultural ideals = beautiful Economic: Affordable = beautiful Mechanical: Good construction = beautiful Natural: Emulates nature = beautiful In the 80s we used to call people who tried too hard to look cool “try-hards,” and they were lame. Later in life, you can still see them. It’s as though they never got over Jr. High hump, and they still desperately want to be one of the popular kids. If you want to beat the cool kids at their own game, don’t play. And for the love of god, don’t dump those ideals onto your customers. That’d be cruel.

[@patrvic]

Robert, you are indeed the expert. I feel so embarrassed to have picked a feud and defended Ray-ban. I've had a Bausch & Lomb Ray-ban since a decade, they are a class of their own. I recently bought a pair of Ray-ban of Luxottica, the tentacled monster which makes almost rubbish. As you rightly say, they took down the iconic legacy of Wayfarer and the Top Gun Aviators to the ground. Luxury doesn't equal quality. Quality glasses might bend but never break, ever. I just bought a J.F. REY, they are new, so I was apprehensive, but like you said, 'Quality and Awesome'. Thank you!

[@bikerboy4944]

I have some 35 year old original Wayfarers, my wife has some Luxottica Wayfarers, the difference in quality is black and white.

[@thespectaclefactory]

So glad you've tried J F Rey! Thanks for the comment

[@briandoyle1904]

In the 70s and early 80s RayBan were cheap gas station sunglasses. -and btw- their relevance is bigger than ever - THEY MADE the aviator style popular, you are wearing a variation of this in this very video, so don't day they aren't relevant. And the 004 sunglasses look like gaudy, cheap gas station sunglasses. There's no style there, no artistic courage, I've actually seen that lense shape before. It terms of relevance- Maui Jim- those clothes are for the unstylish older man- which in the fashion world where sunglasses fit as an accessory- makes a big difference. It seems like you don't know very much about fashion history.

[@natureins4644]

Interesting and controversial. To make it less controversial and more educational, I suggest splitting it up into at least 2 different rankings listing key players: 1) Past Influencers list. 2) Present influencers list. Also further splitting it into large brands know internationally e.g. Rayban and smaller brands known to connoisseurs e.g. JMM would be useful.

Ray-Ban Liteforce Sunglasses are still top quality @ £213 far superior than Prada ones costing £269 which are trash and look about £20 and even come with a PLASTIC case, Ray-Ban's Liteforce come in a case that is high quality and looks like leather (I don't know if it's real or not) but looks very high quality. Putting Cartier in was unfare because they cost thousands like they were a piece of jewellery, which in effect they are. Ray-Ban still produce quality if you buy their best 👌 you don't have to buy their cheap Chinese trash 😮 but although it's annoying that they make cheap trash as well, I suppose they are providing a service to the poor.

I do wonder if Kerring is a bit of a Luxottica gatekeeper. Like you said, Luxottica is all about profit and not about quality. Time and time again I see Kerring making statements like; "we'll let the brand keep it's own production and do it's thing." Looking at products in person I personally like the quality of products from Kerring's brands. (Isn't Cartier also Kerring?) Perhaps being bought out by large conglomerates isn't always a terrible thing.

[@thespectaclefactory]

They are just so completely derivative. All of their best styles borrow heavily from Cazal and Masunaga (who actually make their frames - did you know?)

[@snuffles7314]

@@thespectaclefactory I agree their design is influenced by Cazal, but their quality is much better than Cazal and I think they’ve been more innovative in recent years than Cazal IMHO. Dita has had a ton of impact thanks in no small part to Robert Downey Jr., wearing the Flight in his movies. Are you saying that Dita glasses are actually made by Masunaga, not Dita? If so, I wasn’t aware of that but it doesn’t change the fact that Dita’s had an enormous impact on the industry over the past 15 years, derivative or not, similarly Ray Bans quality is clearly trash but their past impact is also undeniable.

[@tc9392]

@@snuffles7314I completely agree with you on everything. I think a lot of people mistaken being influenced by something is the same as being a copy of it. I mean, the whole industry is could be considered derivative since it’s made up of offshoots of aviators, navigators, browlines, Wayfarers, etc. and styles they had no hand in creating. If taking a previous idea as inspiration to springboard into something else is derivative, then most brands on the list are crazy derivative including JMM, Cartier, Oliver Peoples with their aviator/navigator-inspired frames. Other brands such as Garrett Leight and Barton Perreira are offensively derivative based on that criteria. It’s just a shame DITA is called out for something other brands do much more egregiously. DITA did take inspiration from Cazal since their collaboration back in 2006/2007, but they made it their own thing. I haven’t met anyone that would mix up the brands. They are very distinct in styling, and that is one of many reasons saying DITA is derivative is categorically incorrect for most people, I reckon. Masunaga did indeed provide manufacturing services for DITA eyewear. They may still manufacture some of their styles and Thom Browne as well. Most companies outsource production of eyewear to these manufacturing houses after they finalize the design…which is why many Japan-made eyewear have similar styling cues to each other (especially titanium). Setting up a factory is cost-prohibitive for most brands. That said, DITA did indeed invest in their own factory years back, which is why they are a step above most brands in the industry.

Well, maybe Cartier is or was a number one with frames. But Ray-Ban was superior with sunglass lens technologies. And I mean the original made in USA Ray-Ban's by Bausch & Lomb, not Luxottica. B&L era special purpose lenses are still superior to any manufacturer. They had Kalichrome shooter's lens, Ambermatic all weather (transition) lens, Chromax Color Contrast Technology for sports and for driving etc. And all of those lenses were made of best, prescription quality tempered optical glass, and not cheap and flimsy plastic. It's amazed me, that in 2024 there is no anything as good color contrast lens as Kalichrome or especially the Chromax series lenses. (do not confuse the legendary B&L Chromax to Luxottica's Chromance)

I have 4 pairs of new Ray-Ban sunglasses (aviators, wayfarer, and two styles of the round metal). I had to spend some time bending them into perfect shape (all were a bit warped out of the box) and even more time adjusting the nose pads for a perfect fit, but after doing that I would say the build quality is still very good. I would just suggest avoiding the special frame finishes, like the 'antique gold' for example. It looks and feels like cheap gold spray paint.

[@jasonkrick1614]

The ‘coolest’ sunglasses I like wearing are Chrome Hearts. 10? Pairs of those maybe. Oliver People’s sunglasses are the most practical. Perfect for travel. The most comfortable, stylish and just oozes classic are Cartier’s. 5…no 7 pairs of those. Just the best.
