The gradient grey with a copper flash is incredible. There are so many potential combinations of tints and flash coatings. My Transitions amethyst with a red flash are totally cool. I'm a big fan of flash mirrors!
Yea, I like the idea of Rimless Glasses and having the appearance of not even wearing anything at all and I think I'd like to get a pair from Flair given their offering. I'm also interested in Sunglasses too and will need to eventually get a pair that fit right and don't make me look too boyish. Great Vid!
I wish you were in the States. It’s not easy to put the combinations together without the help and your videos are very detailed and we all can agree just amazing Sir
Cheers Bob! At last my query has been answered. I can't wait to relocate and visit yr store soon. No doubt, this is the best channel for eyewear content. It's underrated.
Your videos have been so helpful, I’ve sent many to my optician here in California. That said, I feel that rimless glasses are the only way to go; I’ll never go back. Having them tinted as an added bonus.
An issue with rimless glasses (or any glasses for that matter) is your lens prescription, how wide the lenses need to be to fit your face, whether you need varifocals etc. Even thinner lenses can be a bit chunky with a high prescription, so you can lose the ‘barely there’ aspect of the feel. I only like rimless glasses and will be getting some new ones soon … but with a -5.50 cyl, +1.5 sph in one eye, -3.50 cyl - 0.5 sph in the other. (That’s (mild) keratoconus for you). I think it’s important to consider issues that might come up with high prescriptions. (And the affordability question that come with it!).
I have a very similar prescription to yours so I use double aspheric 1.67 lens they are expensive but very lightweight and not thick, they also give great all around vision
Heard of Flair from a previous video of yours . They look amazing. Contacted Flair as I could not find a local stockist . Sadly very few places stock them. The problem with buying a Flair frame from a optician who is not local is having to return to get the frame adjusted. Also you mention buying just the frame from yourself .... but would other dispensing opticians know how to glaze the lens (bear in mind the unique nylon wire design ) ? I know Lindbergh have had issues when lens are reglazed incorrectly to their frames.
I just got a pair of rimless glasses but I had to get Silhouette since Flair nor Lindberg are readily available here and additionally the opticians I got them from gave me 50% discount since I got the lenses from them too, so really it’s a no brainier at that price. Saying that though I don’t understand how rimless frames can be so expensive when you consider what little material you are actually getting. Shame also that Zeiss can’t do a fashion tint combined with Photofusion X!
Good point about rimless being so expensive given so little material is used . Nobody seems to provide a good answer and so one s left wondering it all goes on profits !
As far as the price goes for these frames, It's expensive because of the craftsmanship, engineering, innovation and time being put to create these frames. I definitely think they do deserve some profit for the work they've done.
@@bharat007ification Nothing against making a profit, that is what a business is supposed to do but sorry I don't see where nearly 400 euros has gone into these Silhouette frames I have, especially when you consider that there is literally less than 5 grams of titanium involved.
I think there's a HUGE misconception in society that when you buy a product, you're paying for the materials used. That's often only a small component. You are mainly paying for the design (which can take months or years!) and the manufacturing cost (of the equipment and quality standards required to produce something so technically impressive). For example, these frames are far more complicated to produce than any acetate frame, which can often retail for significantly more.
@@thespectaclefactory Having a business myself I totally understand what you are saying about costs other than the materials and I am the first to defend some perceived expensive goods which get hammered on the internet by those who think it should cost just a few quid more than the cost of parts but in this case sorry I just don't see it. The fact that my optician discounted the frames by 50% on top of the discount they applied to the lenses tells me that there is a huge mark up on the price of the frames, I am sure after giving the discount they must still be making a profit on them so go figure.
Ray-Ban New Wayfarer and Ray-Ban Clubmaster are my choices for eyeglasses and sunnies. Good quality, classic styling and finish. It all adds up to what I consider “value” and “Bang for the Buck.” I look no further. 😎
No Flair in the U.S. :( actually not many rimless models in the U.S. I wonder why? I saw Flair when I was in Turkey. The salesperson had no idea, clueless about it. She only told me that they were made in Germany, that's it, nothing else.
Hello Robert, before I go any further could you tell the price of the Flair Pure BioSteel glasses with the Shield Shape with progressive lens? I couldn’t find them in your store and the Internet has mostly Flairs with Bridge and Nose Pads as opposed to the once you showed here with Bridge only. Thanks and Cheers!
what is the maximum prescription you can pull off with a rimless eyeglass? I have a -5.5 and -6.0. Would a 1.74 high index lens do the trick? I'm leaning more towards a cartier design. I don't want the lens to be too thick around the edges.
I've made -12 before. -6.00 is easy with the right lens material + frame choice. But you need to work with a great optician. I'd be glad to assist - email me: rob@thespectaclefactory.com
Hello this is a Y11 student who is aspiring to become an optometrist . What advice could you give for the appropriate courses I should chose after secondary school. I have researched for quite some time and the information I have read on becoming an optometrist is still quite unfathomable. It would really help me if you could condense the many options after secondary school into simpler and more understandable terms such as giving me a walkthrough of the best pathway after secondary school for becoming an optometrist. It would also help if you shared your pathway from secondary school to where you are now in your career.Thanks for reading
Are you able to adjust the temples on these? My left ear sits lower than my right ear so I always have to get the left temple lowered so it’s not crooked .. thanks!
Robert, I need a shield shape (larger a bit) flair invisible saddle glasses. However I currently wear progressives (leitz) and would a new pair that also darkens for slight protection. Can you help me?
Are red lenses legal for driving? I have seen some red tints that got listed as "not safe for driving" I really like the look though and I think i will get rimless glasses myself next time
So glad you like them, if you're interested in getting a pair contact us at hello@thespectaclefactory.com and one of our team will be in touch:) -Haleemah
For me there are only two options with rimless frames: as close to invisible as possible and very creative as the last one featured here. Everything in between looks questionable. The biggest problem with bold rimless frames is that they focus attention on bridge and sidepieces. Full rim balances out glasses and people just look at your face generally. And about durability, com on, it's not a question of how the frame is durable but how the lenses are. Thick and heavy lenses in rimless frame look very questionable. Very thin are fragile.

Nice! And thank you 👌
Outstanding video Robert! I’m loving that saddle bridge, and your explanation of the hinge design and how it’s a feature.
Awesome presentation 😎 I remember those driving lenses, it's certainly cooling looking lenses 😎
Thanks James! Glad you remembered

In this size and shape, with the right lens material, the lenses would only be thick if the prescription was over +/- 7 I think
Four eyes
