Reykjavik Eyes are without question world's most comfortable glasses but the Masunaga rimless are even more stunning in person than they are on the video.

@@Creativepianoacademy I just got my own first pair of Lindberg frames. That lead to me discovering this channel... I too fear the "need" to add a pair of Lucas de Stael, Reykjavik Eyes, Masunaga, and Barton Parreira to what I have... Never had more than a single pair of glasses at a time and now I am considering multiple pairs. This channel is insidious and wonderful all at the same time!

Like always good video Robert and I agree with your assessment it really depends if you want the weightless almost like there's nothing on your face feel then go with Reykjavik but if you really want something out there with more flair masunaga is a very good choice. How do you feel about the brand Matsuda?

I really like what you are doing for the glasses industry here in YT. I was looking in your videos, but did not find, (correct me if I am wrong) video about, is it worth buying a quality frames and make a tinted lenses, just to wear them as sunglasses. No prescription, just put an AR coating and colour on your lenses instead of buying sunglasses just make them with Zeiss or Hoya lenses. I am planning to do that, but is it worth it, because the price is jumping high.

Hi Robert, This video makes it more relevant for me to ask you one question, I have been thinking of. Given a tough choice of buying only 2 frames/ brands in Japan and made in Japan, what will be your choices? I’m highly impressed with Masunaga, Matsuda, Dita etc. but I can probably trust your judgement of choosing the 2 brands/ frames which are quintessentially Japanese in terms of creaftsmanship and material. Hoping to hear your thoughts.

Probably Masunaga and Eyevan

OK. So these best titanium glasses in 2024 comparison, is it in the world or those carried by the Spectacle Factory? Also It doesn't include Cartier. I can understand that. Good but nothing really special. But where is Jacque Marie Mage, which is both good and really special?

@thespectaclefactory 3 ай бұрын

I would say the best in the world. I do a lot of research on eyewear and travel all over to do so. JMM are beautiful, but do they give you anything beyond what Masunaga does I'm not sure. They certainly aren't as comfortable. Also, very few Cartier are titanium.

@natureins4644 3 ай бұрын

@@thespectaclefactory To start with I have about 30+ frames ranging from Lindberg to Maybach and Chrome Hearts.I've been wearing eyewear for many years. With this out of the way, I can see your logic. To answer your question about JMM providing beyond what Masunaga or Reykjavik Eyes can do? , I'd say resounding YES to due to the variety of JMM styles that just can't be obtained from them. In titanium JMM has frames like 1980, which is a very nice navigator frame, dramatically different from the Oatman, a midwest inspired frame. 1980 or Reynold are a very lightweight titanium frames, which are extremely easy to wear. (JMM also has some heavier bolder frames that are not quite my taste, Perhaps these ones you are referring to when you say that "certainly aren't as comfortable"?) In the way 1980 is designed with subtly varying the depth of the surfaces and shine level that is pure sophistication. Can Masunaga build something like this- for sure they can as they have been making frames since 1905. Do they have any current model that blends the modern art design as successfully as JMM?

@deemich1815 3 ай бұрын

how are people supposed to have a glasses wardrobe when the lenses themselves are hundreds and hundreds of dollars for each pair of glasses? The cost of Rx lenses is frustratingly exorbitant unless you want crappy thick lenses.

@RT-ol4hh 3 ай бұрын

Here’s the main issue: All of their frames (Reykjavik and Masunaga) are just to ding dang narrow! I have a big ole wide/fat face. I need a wide frame. I want to buy these frames, but I fear they’re just too ding dang narrow.
