The spectacular power of Big Lens

But the technical best frames are still made in Austria, Silhouette. Light and frameless titan, unbreakable.

The Italians or Fielmann haven't figured out that yet.

From Germany, IC Berlin and (spinoff) Mykita have well-engineered screwless metal frames.

Modo (NY) has some lightweight frames made in Japan, including a screwless line, for 50% less.

Eyebuydirect (owned by EssilorLuxottica) has a lightweight metal frame with grooved lens mounting, for 95% less.

Only if you like Bulgarian style intellectuals. I heard this is modern in Vienna right now.

I was talking about invisible frames and invisible glasses, as light as possible.

Eschenbach Titanflex is similar, technology-wise.

Nope, that's one you can get in Germany or from this Italian cartel. Silhouette is frameless.
