This week's Eyewear of the Week features a pair that is particularly special to us — Robert's own Reykjavik Eyes Alba, created as the ultimate bespoke sunglasses.

As someone who spends his days helping clients find eyewear that reflects their personality, Robert wanted a pair that showcased exactly what is possible when creativity, craftsmanship and customisation come together. The result is this stunning Reykjavik Eyes Alba in an exclusive Yellow Gold finish, a colourway created specially for The Spectacle Factory.

While the Alba is already one of Reykjavik Eyes' most iconic designs, Robert wanted to take it a step further. He redesigned the lens shape entirely, creating a bespoke geometric silhouette that is unique to The Spectacle Factory. The shape is wider and more angular than the original Alba, with clean architectural lines that give the frame a bold yet sophisticated presence. Combined with the rimless construction, the result is lightweight, contemporary and instantly recognisable.

Crafted from premium titanium, the Alba embodies everything Reykjavik Eyes is known for — exceptional comfort, precision engineering and understated luxury. The exclusive Yellow Gold finish adds warmth and character, creating a frame that feels both modern and timeless.

For the lenses, Robert chose Zeiss SmartLife lenses customised with an AdaptiveSun Brown tint and Sapphire Flash coating. The warm brown tint delivers excellent contrast and visual comfort in bright conditions, making it ideal for driving, travelling and everyday outdoor wear. The Sapphire Flash coating transforms the appearance of the lenses, creating a vibrant blue mirrored finish that beautifully contrasts against the Yellow Gold titanium.

The combination is striking from every angle. The warm tones of the frame and tint are balanced perfectly by the cool sapphire reflection, creating a pair of sunglasses that feels luxurious, distinctive and completely individual.

This pair perfectly demonstrates Robert's philosophy when it comes to eyewear: your glasses should never be an afterthought. They should be a reflection of your personality, lifestyle and individuality.

From the exclusive Yellow Gold finish to the bespoke lens shape and customised Zeiss lenses, every detail of these sunglasses has been carefully considered. The result is not just a pair of sunglasses, but a showcase of what can be achieved when there are no compromises.

And if they're good enough for Robert, they're certainly good enough for the rest of us.
