craftsman

Superior craftsmanship is the cornerstone of AM Eyewear. Each frame is individually hand-made for up to 14 hours using cutting edge materials sourced from around the globe. Our meticulous attention to detail is what sets AM Eyewear apart from all other eyewear brands.

OUR FRAMES

Our acetate frames are constructed using Mazzacchelli cellulose acetate - a far superior product to the mould injectable plastics commonly used by the majority of mass-produced sunglass labels. The key feature of Mazzacchelli acetate is that it requires the hand of an individual craftsman to cut, bend and polish the frame to life. Mazzacchelli's malleable nature means it is perfect for eyewear applications. Most of us are born without facial symmetry, but AM Eyewear frames can be shaped to accommodate our imperfections, resulting in a truly customised, bespoke fit.

We use high-grade, anti-irritant, nickel-free plated stainless steel for all our metal frames. This coating ensures that when the metal comes into contact with your skin, it doesn't cause irritation. Even though this process is a pre-requisite for jewellers, it is yet to become common practice in eyewear manufacturing. Always an innovator, AM Eyewear has an unwavering commitment to the use of this process.

Continuing our obsession with detail, the AM Eyewear logos inlayed in the arms of our frames are supplied by famed Italian logo-makers Fotomeccanica.

OUR HINGES

Depending on the requirement of the individual frame, we use either Italian Tecno 'Seven Teeth Fixed' hinges or German OBE spring-loaded hinges to ensure that the arms will never sag. This means your AMs will always maintain their box-fresh appearance and shape.

OUR LENSES

AM Eyewear is more than a fashion brand. We are an optics company who pride ourselves on creating frames that take care of your eyes while also making them look their best. We steer clear of the more commonly used cheap, fragile plastic lenses and use only LYX Polyamide Nylon lenses. In order to achieve their "Military Grade" ranking, these lenses undergo extensive tests for durability and strength. They also hold a superior light reflective index. LYX lenses are lightweight, scratch, heat and chemical resistant and have a high UV protection rating.

Still not satisfied, we go one step further by applying a layer of anti-reflective coating. This fine blue-hued veneer reduces optical reflectivity or 'back glare' from hitting the eye from the back of the lense. This increases wearer comfort and long-term eye health.

PRESCRIPTION-READY

Not all of us are fortunate enough to have 20/20 vision, so the lenses in select AM Eyewear styles are mounted using an 'RX' format so they can be fitted with prescription lenses.

Remember, you only get one pair of eyes. Be kind to them

AM Eyewear.

Supreme quality. Finely crafted.
