Possibly the most famous Cartier eyewear, the C de Cartier, AKA 'Big C' or 'Picadilly' frames are iconic, timeless and above all, beautiful. BUT, you should always customise the lenses when buying - here's why...

The ruby sapphire is beautiful, I personally want custom lenses and shape ever since watching your video. It has truly opened Pandora's box, from tints to shapes to sizes. I personally don't care for the Cartier name on the lense, but I can see why someone would want it, screams💰💲💲💲 Keep up the great work Robert! 😎

I just bought the Cartier Picadilly frame in gold. And for some reason I love how the original lense gives a vintage reading glasses look. That simple plain look may be my go-to depending how they look on me ofcourse. Right now I’m wearing a vintage Must Louis Cartier frame and they definitely scream 80’s big frame. I appreciate your detailed videos that really helped me decide on a newer Cartier frame. 10/10!

I wish the c was popping out of the back (inside) the lenses than the front and was a little more miniature than boldly out pronounced. Anyway that's me being very minimal and simple. Your zeiss customization is the elegant. Great content. Robert, you're the best!

From the moment I discovered your channel (maybe been a week) until today, I've found more EXACT answers I've been looking for, than I could through intensive Google searches. Thank you! I was sold from the first video I watched (where you ranked glasses from Luxottica to Legendary), and now I'm even more sold. I like to buy glasses in person (because I like to see how it fits and looks), but I might just be swayed to have it done remotely. If I do that, how do I ensure I know how it'll end up looking and fitting? I assume you must have some useful tools to help with that.
@thespectaclefactory
@thespectaclefactory Жыл бұрын
We have a proven system for making sure they fit correctly, and in the small event that they don't we gladly offer a free exchange. In terms of style, my clients trust me to style them. During a consultation, I explain exactly why I think a frame will work for someone and go through everything from the shape to the material to the colour in great detail. The feedback we get from clients is incredible.

Hi, for using them as optical glasses, which index do you recommend for keeping the "flat" sense shape yet also not making them too brittle? Do you recommend going with aspheric lenses? ( quite a low prescription -2.75) . Best Regards
@thespectaclefactory
@thespectaclefactory Жыл бұрын
You could use an aspheric lens, but nowadays that's quite an old lens design. It's mainly about selecting a flat base curve but you can't go too flat or the glasses won't fit. It's quite a technical process which is why many people come to us to make their Cartier's for them

Though the most important consideration for choosing a lens tint is which color works best for you. Some people prefer certain lens colors and certain tints tend to work best for different uses.

I feel like you just want to push Zeiss product, or maybe haven’t experienced good lab work from other lens manufacturers. My lil brother sells Cartier’s and gets them customized for patients/customers as they like with or with out the Cartier logo, shoot even with their name on the lens if they choose. Has many lens labs to choose from. Just depends on what the customer desires as well as what lens material, frame style, lens style, customization etc. can be done with each patient’s rx prescription My lil bro just helped me out today to get my first pair of Cartier’s I got the old style gold with bunch of customizations it was the best and funnest glasses buying experience ever. Sorry very excited 🤓

No, that's not exactly what I meant. The original ones from Cartier will have the Cartier logo on the lens, but CUSTOM lenses should not have the Cartier logo - at least, that's according to Cartier themselves. You can still choose to have it on your custom lenses if you want, but I would recommend not to.
