Eyewear of the Week: Limited Edition Shiny Gold Reykjavik Eyes Leif
We’re incredibly excited to introduce something truly special this week — our brand-new collaboration with Reykjavik Eyes. Known for their ultra-lightweight titanium designs and minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic, Reykjavik Eyes perfectly aligns with our philosophy of Eyewear for the Individual. But this time, we’ve taken things one step further.
Working closely with the Reykjavik Eyes team, we’ve taken the iconic Alba and reimagined it using Robert’s own bespoke lens shape — resulting in an entirely new model: the Leif.
The name Leif is a nod to Icelandic heritage (a fitting tribute to Reykjavik Eyes’ roots), inspired by the explorer Leif Erikson, symbolising discovery, individuality, and pushing boundaries — everything this frame represents.
This collaboration isn’t just about design — it’s about rarity and craftsmanship.
We’ve launched the Leif in shiny gold and matte gold, alongside a reimagined Alba in yellow gold.
And here’s what makes it even more special — only 50 pieces of each have been produced, making this an extremely limited and exclusive release, available only at The Spectacle Factory.
The pair we’re showcasing this week is the shiny gold Leif, and it’s a perfect example of how technical precision meets bold styling.
Customised with ZEISS SmartLife Individual Progressive lenses, this pair is tailored specifically to your lifestyle, prescription, and frame fit. It also features an Adaptive Sun blue gradient tint for comfort and clarity in changing light, finished with a green mirror for a striking, modern edge that enhances contrast and reduces glare.
The result is a pair of glasses that doesn’t just look incredible — it performs at the highest level, whether you're navigating daily life or stepping into brighter environments.
What makes this collaboration truly stand out is the level of personalisation behind it. From Robert’s signature lens shape to the carefully curated finishes, every detail has been considered to create something that feels unique, refined, and unmistakably you. And, as always, it looks even better on — elevating your features while delivering that signature Spectacle Factory precision fit.
With only 50 pieces available, this is one you don’t want to miss.
