- In this new episode of Sartorial Talks, Hugo is welcoming you at L'Ingénieur Chevallier, a company founded in 1740 by the eponymous family who was the spectacles maker of Louis 15th, King of France.
L'Ingénieur Chevallier's boutique and workshop in Paris never closed its doors for almost 3 centuries and is now owned by the most famous bespoke eyewear makers in the world, Maison Bonnet.
At l'Ingenieur Chevallier, you'll find one of the best and stylish selections of eyeglasses on the planet (in all kinds of material: from buffalo horns to acetate cotton, from sterling silver to titanium).

I just love when someone's so into their trade that they just can't wait to talk about it, them stumbling over each other about who's showing what next is just so enjoyable.
They are, for sure, passionate people (and adorable personalities). Cheers, Hugo
Like many other people who have just watched this, I want to come to Paris just to buy my next pair of glasses. Epic episode Hugo. Kudos to the young man diligently working away in the background who didn't once glance up to check out what was going on between you three.
Thanks my friend! And you're right, these people are working hard and are bone fide artisans. All my best, Hugo
I am happy to report that I had a fantastic experience at the L'Ingenieur. I have never had such diligent and knowledgeable service when getting a new pair of glasses. I got 2 pairs, plain and sunglasses that were perfectly fitted and look great. I am very happy! Recommend completely. Thank you to Margaux and Pierre!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sonia. With Love and Blessings from Los Angeles USA
O the sound of those violins bring me so much joy! What a blessing you all are. ❤
That's very kind of you my friend! Hugo
Very interesting, more interested in learning about the lenses technology being used and its importance. Thank you, Raj.
Having glasses from Maison Bonnet is such a theatrical experience with amazing materials & craftmanship. Franck Bonnet's face is perfect canvas for any glasses, whatever he is trying in this video looks amazing on him.
What a fantastic episode! I enjoyed it tremendously! BTW a very happy belated birthday! Welcome to the 60's club!! Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa!
Many thanks Nick! Hugo
Thanks Hugo. Great video! I will be stopping by L'Ingénieur Chevallier when I visit Paris at next time!
That's a great idea. It's a fantastic place with great glasses (and nice people). Cheers, Hugo

Listening to this was bittersweet for me. Sweet, because I know whenever I go to Paris next where I will go to buy glasses, but bitter because it reminded me of when I bought my first pair of glasses 18 years ago. The gentleman, who was approximately 80 years old then, taught me all of these same things about fit, so that when I would eventually have to find a new optician I would know how to find a good one. He lamented then that this would be difficult, but if I had the information I might be able to. Sadly, since he passed away many years ago, I have found that there are no good opticians left in the USA. Most of them can't even be bothered to dot the pupils. I have to instruct them to do so, instruct them on how to adjust the tilt, etc., and then usually I still make final adjustments at home with some opticians tools I bought. It really is a shame. As long as I am lamenting, I also lament the end of companies offering multiple temple sizes, as I require a 150mm temple length. I wish I had known about L'ingenieur Chevallier when I was there in November, as I was staying just a few minutes walk away from their shop.
Dear friend, no regret because in November the boutique and atelier were still in renovation. Now you know where to go, and you'll be treated the right way. Thank you for sharing your memories. All my very best, Hugo
beautiful video!
Merci Gauthier !
I love looking at eyewear. I have always worn glasses since I was two years old, and all of these wonderful companies showing their skills, blown away. Last year I bought my first pair of Maison Bonnet from London, as I couldn't get to Paris.
I am looking for my next pair. I might have found the highest contender, I just need to get to France.
Excellent idea Alex ! (Given the fact that Maison Bonnet owns L'Ingénieur Chevallier, you'll be in the best hands). Yours, Hugo
This video makes me wanna learn french and jump into the next plane to paris
Please come!
Unfortunately, France is no longer what it once was, Paris is dead
Everyone needs a personal glass maker
Absolutely John! All my best, Hugo
Hello, Sartorial Talks!
Ciao Michael !
Let the woman speak. She gets cut off and unable to express her points. Great stuff none-the-less
Good times!
Yes sir !
comme un architecte - c'est tellement vrai
Merci !
Hello Hugo, are the glasses you are wearing from the store and if so which style?
Yes they are available at Ingénieur Chevallier. It's a Matsuda limited edition of the frames of Sarah O'Connor in the movie Terminator 2. Cheers, Hugo
@SARTORIALTALKS Thanks Hugo, I did notice that but I meant your glasses that you were wearing in the interview. Apologies from me for not being accurate
@@jamese1292 Ah you meant my glasses! These are bespoke frames by Maison Bonnet in real turtle shell. The model is called "Coppoletta". Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Thank you, they're stunning
Thanks Hugo for an episode for us glasses wearing people! Surprisingly, here on the edge of the Earth In Edmonton, Canada, we have an excellent opticians shop, The Observatory, who stock beautiful, stylish frames like those you've shown us today.
Lucky man! All my best, Hugo
Fantastic episode, such passionate people. I need to pay them a visit as soon as i can come to Paris
I have a question. If i buy Patreon, will i still get the different perks mentioned? :-)
Yes you will my friend of course! Cheers, Hugo
What's the name of the restaurant mentioned? Having trouble searching it out. (Mentioned around 49:45)
38:23 what brand was she referring to?
Hugo, I may have not heard well but I think you mentioned the USA foundation date wrong. ;)). 1776 was the date. And 1787 for the constitution. Just a note.
Dear friend, I think you misheard. I was speaking of a French date (I believe 1740) and said it was before the foundation of the USA. But anyway, thanks for note. All my best, Hugo
Can for me the name of the song in video please!
I stoped wearing glasses and switched to contacts years ago.
Becaus i could never find glasses that fit me (i am a short asian guy living in Holland with giants around me 😛).
But seeing this i would love to have a pair of glasses from them that would realy fit my head.
What do I do If I am cross eyed😮
French saying they have the best bread: the Germans would like to have a word with you.
Hahahaha yes! Let's have a talk! Warmly, Hugo
Vuarnet
Not the same level my friend !
@@SARTORIALTALKS I know, I know...I just have fond memories of these legendary shades that always got positive comments.
@@johnnyredux4019 I can relate to that for sure!
very enlightening video, merci. But I must say something monsieur Jacomet... you should have done your nails, give them a cut, whether at home or at a manicure..unless you play classical guitar of course...
"Parisian"😂😂😂😂😂😂 "french"😂😂😂 which one?
