Another great video. I love the gold Big C now, with a customised lens shape and tint would look fantastic!👌 Thanks for producing such interesting content!👍
This was one of the best Cartier videos on UA-cam. It really helped me make a decision on what to buy. I wanted to buy a high-quality and stylistic pair of glasses. Alot of designers frame lack quality, not worth the price. Cartier is maintaining quality.
Cartier definitely do produce exceptional quality glasses, there is no doubt about it. We have all of the Cartier frames in stock along with the option to customise the lenses with a multitude of tints/coatings to choose from. You can also book a free virtual consultation with us and we'll give you great advise to help you get the best frames and lenses for you! 😊 Contact us at... www.thespectaclefactory.com/v-contact -Haleemah
Hi Rob, I recently found about your channel and I love it!! Thank you for the amazing content that you’re creating! I love this Cartier Collection video as well! It’s very informative!! I recently purchased the half rimless one that you showed in this video at 10:18. But it’s in brushed gold color. Do you have recommendation on the tint color ?
I like Cartier’s products very much, this time, I learned I like Cartier’s eyewear very much also. I am waiting for your next presentation very much. very much,very much.
They're amazing! If you're interested in purchasing a pair, email us at hello@thespectaclefactory.com and one of our team will be in touch :) -Haleemah
How much are the buffs? Like the ones on the thumbnail and also the one at 3:53 Also, what color are the sticks or arms of the glasses in the thumbnail? They look like a white and black blend but idk if that's a thing? The white and black blend looks REALLY good. The one on the thumbnail is more of a blend. The one at 3:53 is moreso white and marbled which is usually the case for these. The one on the thumbnail looks better, like perfect.
on the premier de Cartier, the photochromic lenses, if I need to get prescription lenses, the stock lenses can't have it and they will need to be swapped out for a 3rd party lens right? then I'd lose the Cartier logo on lens.
Hi! This one is £715 and it's quite a rare piece. We have it in stock and ship internationally. Just email me via rob@thespectaclefactory.com if interested
Thank you very much for the info, maybe a bit fancy for me.. It takes time to save up first 😊 But anyway once again thank you for your replay👌. ( from Indonesia )
I own 3 pairs of Cartier glasses, mybwife owns 2. We both have the old "Big C" sun glasses I ordered for our wedding. Our colors were Navy Blue and blush so i got us a pair of pink gradients for her and blue gradient for myself. We also have a pair of the "Lil' C" in the standard dark brown tint. I just ordered my first pair of white Buffalo horn, "white buffs" with light brown transitional lenses. They are a light hazey yellow indoors, but outdoors, they are blacked out. Everything he stated was correct. I've wanted these glasses for about 15 years, finally in a place financially where i could actually afford them so i pulled the trigger. I told my wife i was considering sending them back after ordering them $3700 is alot for shades. They arrived when i was at work yesterday. It aounds cheesy when i put them on my face for the first time they felt so f'n good on my face 😂🤦🏽♂️. Totally reneged on returning them. They reallybdo feel amazing on your face, they hug the face and the Buffalo horn is soooo smooth.
@@thespectaclefactory hello, would it be possible for you to do a video on buffalo horn care? My buffal horns cane with cartier Buffalo horn cream/wax, however, I can't find any info on how its to be applied to the horns, or how often it should be applied.
Cartier glasses are so desirable and cool but I just wanted to add the RE's Alba that you are wearing for your presentation with your new custom frame shape in Blue 40%-0% with Ruby flash coating look fantastic too!! Also, is it possible to have the blue and beyond lens in a sunclip to fit the American Optical?
Hi I have a question. I plan to buy cartier sunglasses but need to replace the glasses with my prescription ones. In cartier sunglasses which brand of glass do cartier use or mainly I pay the money basically just for frame??. I plan to install zeiss glasses

Came across the Carier Wayfarer (Acetate) with the color 'Havana Red'. I dont mind bold colors, but what do you all think, is it more inclined towards feminine, or can a dude pull it off with style and panache ?
Absolutely! I'm aware of the tech but it isn't released in the UK yet. So to circumvent that issue I'm flying to Milan in a couple of weeks where I'm hoping to meet up with the Zeiss team.
Hey do you have any diamond cut models available? I have seen some online that look cool and do you cut them yourself and choose the design freehand or is there specific ways of cutting? The ones i seen were called hurricane cut
Hello, if I have (R Eye) +7.50 and (Left Eye)+8.00 prescription can I still get Cartier frames. Or will the lense be too thick and not look good? Thank you in advance.
Hmmm, well the acetate frames are well made but certainly not the best in the world. Having said that I'd expect them to last around 4-8 years depending on how much care you take with them.
@@thespectaclefactory well isn’t that with any eyeglasses ? I have a pair of acetates too so I’m just wondering why wouldn’t they last more than 4-8 years u less you don’t take care of them? Will they tarnish or just break eventually ?
@@thespectaclefactory if you can think of any please let me know. I have three pairs of glasses cartier that i can't wear because the nut and screws are loose, and all the tools I've bought so far hasn't helped.
Hey! They are my custom pair of Reykjavik Eyes with a unique shape and tint. But we can re-create them for you, and have done for several other clients. I talked about them here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsTOcZ1cZY4Fo but have customised them more since. Just email me via rob@thespectaclefactory.com if you're interested in a pair.
I saw someone from Detroit, Mi in the US, say that Detroit started the Cartier trend. In other words, Detroit popularized Cartier. I'm new to wearing frames. Is this true? Can you speak on the history of Cartier frames trend? You may have already spoke about it in another video.
Yea. They’re famous for popularizing them. But more specifically the white Buffalo horn. Because everybody wore cartier. But Detroit is known for The White Buffs. It’s their culture
My own custom Reykjavik Eyes rimless frame - I designed the shape and the tint. We can recreate it for you - just email me via rob@thespectaclefactory.com
Because I don't deal with fakes I wouldn't really know what to look out for. Ours all come direct from Kering (who own Cartier). I never really authenticate frames for people. The only way to be sure is buy them from a legit dealer.
If you have aviator sunglasses then you should look at some of the tints to show them off I like the purple blue graduation with gold flash and I'm sure you would be as inventive 😎
Please stop saying "these ones". "Ones" is implicit with the plural "these". "These ones" is improper use of the language. I love your unique perspective (note I did not say "very unique", also improper) but can not subscribe because some phrases make me cringe.
Fun fact; I actually scored top in the UK in English Literature (at college level) but I prefer to speak colloquially as it is more approachable. However, I appreciate your feedback.
Will a single price be listed in this video? ... Update: seven minutes in (at 2x speed) and not a single price mentioned. Just what I need, another smooth-voiced brit extolling the virtues of some luxury product as if money were no object... it's an entire type.
Well, firstly the prices vary not just over time but by location, and secondly it very much depends on your prescription. I made the channel to help people, but apparently I'm not helpful enough. Sorry about that.
It is so not true cartier is not all that Firstly its expensive I have a few pairs I bought for my wife and the color came off I went to cartier myself and they are not putting their name behind I will never buy another one rather buy a maybach hand made
If they are authentic Cartier then they are warrantied for 3 years from purchase. All you would need to do is produce your proof of purchase and they would take care of it for you (unless you damaged them yourself).
You're wrong. I don't care at all about brand names. But I do know quality when I see it. The quality of Cartier is way better than any other 'designer' brand name.
what brand do a "better" job then? and are you sure is was not a cheap fake you are dealing with? i got 6 pairs both vintage and new and thinking they are great.

The acetate rimless Cartiers have been my go to the last couple years. I rarely get to wear them. Cartier did a great job with them.
Nice! Shame you don't wear them more, though
I think we all would watch that whole video if you did the full Cartier line it’s just better they way you present the information
Thanks Damian. Maybe in the future!
Shut the fuck up! He did a good job!

Can you add a prescription to the tints and different lenses?

Absolutely
Hi spectacle factory will you be talking about the new zeiss photochromic x lenses that have just come out?
Absolutely! I'm aware of the tech but it isn't released in the UK yet. So to circumvent that issue I'm flying to Milan in a couple of weeks where I'm hoping to meet up with the Zeiss team.
Truly legendary brand. ❤
Hey RJ! Agreed 👍
14:56 is this the same as transitional lenses?
Basically yes, but it's based on Xtractive technology which has more base tint and works better in the car

@14.42 how is this one called ? Is there a product number . How do i search for that specific cartier ?
Thanks Rob. Cartier frames are very nice and they will last a long time so well worth the investment. Anything gold looks extra cool in this range.
Exactly! They might be expensive but when they last 10+ years they are actually cheaper than most glasses. But some people only see the price
Hello, if I have (R Eye) +7.50 and (Left Eye)+8.00 prescription can I still get Cartier frames. Or will the lense be too thick and not look good? Thank you in advance.
Yes... but you need to go to a specialist. We can do it for you, if you like. Just email me via rob@thespectaclefactory.com
Good morning.
Would you recommend cartier glass sunglasses (made in 1983)?
Sorry I don't know enough about them to give an opinion
Hi
What is quality glasses of cartier? How they life? I am curious because I bought glasses cartier made from acetate.
Hmmm, well the acetate frames are well made but certainly not the best in the world. Having said that I'd expect them to last around 4-8 years depending on how much care you take with them.
@@thespectaclefactory well isn’t that with any eyeglasses ? I have a pair of acetates too so I’m just wondering why wouldn’t they last more than 4-8 years u less you don’t take care of them? Will they tarnish or just break eventually ?
Are the screws gold plated? Because my BIG C screws don't look as shinny as they use to, probably due to me wearing a mask
Yeah I believe so... maybe look at having them replaced?
Do you have any suggestions of tools i can buy to tight nuts and screws on cartier glasses?
Sorry, but no. I don't know of any companies who sell these tools to the public, but that's not to say they don't exist
@@thespectaclefactory if you can think of any please let me know. I have three pairs of glasses cartier that i can't wear because the nut and screws are loose, and all the tools I've bought so far hasn't helped.
are the woods like the buffalo horn ones where they last forever basically?
Yep! Maybe not as durable as Horn but if looked after they will last a long, long time.
@@thespectaclefactory what do you mean by durable? Will something happen to the wood frames?
@@604LoLLoL Wood is easier to break than buffalo horn
@@thespectaclefactory does wood tarnish or anything over time?
@@604LoLLoL i got the some old wood frames from 1990 and some is in bad shape and others very good,
What glasses are you wearing at the start of the video?
Hey! They are my custom pair of Reykjavik Eyes with a unique shape and tint. But we can re-create them for you, and have done for several other clients. I talked about them here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsTOcZ1cZY4Fo but have customised them more since. Just email me via rob@thespectaclefactory.com if you're interested in a pair.
Can you confirm if the screws on authentic buffs should have those rubber/silicone or gold caps?
Hard question to answer. On the shelf, yes, but if you've had them made they should have the gold caps.
Thank you! Much appreciated💯
Where can I order or buy prescription frames
Just email me via rob@thespectaclefactory.com
Very informative!!🔥
Glad you liked it
How much are the woods and Buffalo horns?
Edit: I am saving to get either one but if you guys don’t have any where else could I get them?
We do have them in stock. A rough price would be $2k to $2.3k
I just finally grabbed me a pair of the wood frames that he showed as part of the last 5 frames of the video
What tint is on the big C?
It's a grey gradient with faceting + backsurface AR coating. We can send you a set if you wish.
