I have been waiting (days!) for this video Robert. You've provided a great explanation of the specifics of and differences between 3 high end brands who make rimless frames. Cartier are the modern day Cazal, it seems to me, in terms of the love for the brand from the hip hop community (not that I'm a member!) and like their jewellery, their glasses are utterly refined and timeless, my mum owned a pair around 20 years ago I recall. All the Flair frames in the video have a certain German...what's the word I'm looking for...panache? 😃 The Hengill Reyjavik Eyes glasses suit you and are my pick of their gold frames that I've come across to date.

That's a really interesting comparison between Cazal and Cartier. I might film a video about that at some point!

My favorite brand is Shilouette. I have Cartier, they are far to heavy on my nose, in special if I wear them all day. I had Flair, but I returned them as they were getting loose, in the sides, plus they have no stile for woman frames. Great review, btw. Thank you
@thespectaclefactory2 жыл бұрын
Hey Leona, thanks for your praise and your comments. I agree, Silhouette are really good, but I personally prefer Flair. If fitted correctly (which is difficult) they won't come loose very often. And they do have a lot of women's styles - perhaps your optician just didn't stock them
@reds13252 жыл бұрын
I love Cartier's I saved a whole summer and brought a pair only to have them get stolen. Nothing and I mean nothing feels as amazing as a pair of real authentic Cartier frames. These glasses can really change your whole confidence level. Now I own Gucci GG 2606 frames which I really like also. I'd like to order a gradient tint for them that I can wear indoors as well. What would you recommend? These are gold wire type full rim frames

Great job Robert! Do you recommend rimless glasses for people with high myopia? (I know it’s effortless done for high hyperopia) And if so, which; bigger or smaller sized ones? What comes out more cosmetically elegant and what options would recommend? Thanks.
@thespectaclefactory2 жыл бұрын
Hey Duncan, Yes, we have made rimless glasses up to around -18.00. It depends how important concealing the thickness of your lenses is to you. I particularly recommend the Reykjavik Eyes Rimless Tech frames for higher myopic prescriptions because the coloured band reduces the appearance of the thickness by 'splitting' it either side of the band.

@equal1232 жыл бұрын
Thank you for all your helpful videos. Do you think that all rimless frames should be tinted, or just the Cartier? For example, on a very minimalist Flair frame, is it still best to tint if you want the glasses to be invisible?
@thespectaclefactory2 жыл бұрын
If you want them to be invisibile then go without the tint. But I personally think the tint gives a little definition which makes them more stylish. It's almost counter-intuitive because you're taking away the one thing that most people choose rimless for, which is their sublety, but that makes it cool.

LOVE your video! Rimless eye wear can be confusing. That said I have been wearing Marchon and Calvin Klein. (Both Screw type) Do they still make a rimless with screws instead of rivets? I want to buy a pair to redo my tired Marchons. From rivets to screws if possible. Thanks for the video! Ben

Do any of those brands easily use 1.74 lenses? Silhouette and swissflex recommend 1.67 because the material is less brittle. I have high myopia so 1.74 would be better/thinner.

To the Spectacle Factory guy..Is it a good practice to lift up your eyeglasses up on top or close to forehead? I needed bifocals but my left eye is legally blind so I use single vision, BUT in order to read or see clearly up close I either remove my eyeglasses or lift up & place over my head. It is less trouble to lift up and I'm rather careless and put the somewhere that is not safe. Kindly reply. Paolo
