This week’s standout piece embodies the perfect balance of Parisian design and optical precision. The Ahlem Place des Victoires in radiant gold is a true work of art — minimalist yet powerful, architectural yet effortlessly wearable. Named after one of Paris’ most elegant squares, this frame captures the city’s timeless aesthetic: sophistication with a touch of edge.

At The Spectacle Factory, we took this already-iconic design and made it truly one of a kind through our bespoke lens customisation service. These glasses feature Zeiss SmartLife Progressive Individual Lenses — lenses created specifically for the wearer’s unique prescription, facial anatomy, and lifestyle. Unlike standard progressives, SmartLife Individual lenses are designed based on the wearer’s visual behaviour and how the eyes move in real life. The result is seamless vision across all distances, with natural transitions and unparalleled comfort throughout the day.

But where this piece really comes alive is in the colour transformation. We’ve customised the lenses with a Burgundy PhotoFusion X tint, which deepens beautifully outdoors and fades to a warm rose tone indoors. The effect is subtle yet striking — adding depth and warmth that complements the gold frame perfectly. To complete the look, we added a Ruby Flash coating, giving a gentle mirrored finish that catches the light like a gemstone.

The final result is a pair of glasses that feels luxurious, personal, and expressive. Whether worn as everyday eyewear or a statement accessory, this Ahlem design radiates individuality — elevated further by the precision of Zeiss optics and the artistry of custom tinting.

At The Spectacle Factory, we believe that eyewear should do more than help you see clearly — it should reflect who you are. Through our bespoke lens and tint service, every pair becomes a personal creation, tailored to your vision, your face, and your style.
