I get new prototypes almost every day. My desk to my right is a bloody mess as I am over-run with spectacles I don’t know what to do with. Sometimes I only look at a new frame for two seconds, know that it was not good enough and move on. Sometimes I spend an hour poring over a new frame, looking at every angle, line and finish.
Today was one of those moments.
Actually, I got 10 prototypes today, but these three made me stop in my tracks!
First are the Loupes. These are actually for Zeiss surgical Loupes. I’ve designed them to take heavy lenses, have adjustable sports nose fittings and grip super tight around the head. There are areas to attach lights to and, overall, I think they are FANTASTIC. So much so that a tinted lens and..... sports frame? (focus Tom focus!)
Also, this is v naughty of me but I can’t resist. This is a first look at the new T joint launching in two months' time. I don’t suppose I need to say any more about that!
