HERRLICHT: Handmade Wood Frames

This is a great video on handmade wooden eyeglasses from a German company called HERRLICHT.
They make it look so easy, but along with having the right tools for the job and years of experience it really shows in their finish product.
They take us back to a time when an Optician was considered a craft person, a highly skilled trades person that worked as an apprentice for a few years to earn the title Optician.
We've had amazing technological advances in material and machinery that allow us to get your eyeglasses ready much quicker, more frame designs using endless amount of colors and patterns, also the visual and cosmetic improvement of prescription and sun glass lenses.
It is great to see Herrlicht combining these improvements with handcrafting techniques to create works of art, the true essence of being an Optician.
