L’Amy x McLaren, Moving Up a Gear – EYESEEMAG

Technological innovation and luxury epitomize the L’Amy x McLaren collaboration. Not only is the titanium frame front of the McLaren Ultimate Vision glasses 3D printed, but the program used to produce them can also incorporate face-scanning technology. The tailor-made glasses are supremely lightweight, ensuring they are comfortable to wear as well. Another special feature relates to their design, the lenses being held in place at just two contact points that release them from tension. In fact, L’Amy won the Silmo d’Or 2018 design award for technology and innovation for this very model. “Simple” luxury has well and truly given way to “luxury tech” with these frames. Arms made from overmolded titanium make it possible to achieve an exact fit. No detail has been left to chance in this collaboration; even the way the arms open recalls how the doors of the McLaren cars operate. In addition, the names of the various frames also refer to the latter. The glasses in this top-of-the-range collection can be modified to suit the individual, in line with three different levels of customization. Firstly, in terms of color, as there are five different colors to choose from. Secondly, you can opt for the overmolded titanium arms that we mentioned, to tailor the glasses to the shape of your face. The final tier of customization, which is on its way, relates to size and the iPad app that will allow your optician to measure your face and ensure your frames fit you to the nearest millimeter. Offering seven different frame shapes, four pairs of sunglasses and four pairs of spectacles, this collection just keeps on giving!
