Eyeglasses Without Temples and in Trend

The newest things always come from the future: we introduce a new style of eyeglasses without temples which are hold to your face only by its nosepads and which define a proper style.

The Austrian brand Seeoo have recovered this legendary eyeglasses model to update it with the newest technology. They have reinterpreted these historic glasses with an - even more - minimalistic and elegant design.

Born from tradition

In Spanish these kind of frames are known as "Quevedos" in honour to the writer "Francisco de Quevedo" who was portrayed in a painting by Juan Van der Hamen, a copy of the original by Velazquez.

In English and in French they are known as " Pince-nez" ("clamped nose") and they have been used by some historic characters as Theodore Roosevelt or Anton Chekhov.

They also have some prominence in cultural field. For example these kind of frames appear in one of Sherlock Holme's stories and they even have some relevance during the first part of The Matrix trilogy. In this film one of the main characters, Morpheus, wears these kind of lenses (the directors decided using them to create an innovative visual language).

A contemporary use

Although these kind of frames were used since the 15 ^th Century they became more popular during the 18 ^th and 19 ^th Centuries among the well-to-do classes (being considered as sophisticated luxury objects).

With these new designs Seeoo has rescued a timeless and evocative style which suits women as well as men. Furthermore they have done it with a refined style which has been the winner of the prestigious Red Hot Design Award.

Easy to use, perfect for presbyopia

These glasses are really comfortable because they can be put on and off easily. They can be used to read in short distances so that they are the perfect choose for people who suffer from presbyopia or the so called eyestrain.

Light and always ready to be used

Some models as Seeoo Light iPhone 5, iPhone 6 or iPhone Plus 6 include a handmade iPhone case made of high quality leather. These will allow you to carry them easily.
The rest of models as Seeoo Classic have their own ultrathin case made of high quality materials as metal, plastic or leather.

If you are looking for a pair of practical, resistant and elegant reading glasses Seeoo are the best option in market.
