Rodenstock Vintage

Rodenstock is synonymous with quality and tradition. In Würzburg, Josef Rodenstock, together with his brother Michael, founded the company “Optisches Institut G. Rodenstock” which, starting in 1878, sold not only lenses and frames for glasses, but also measuring instruments of its own production. The founder Josef Rodenstock creates the so-called "diaphragm spectacle lenses" which immediately achieve great commercial success. Numerous other patents followed, such as that of a tool for creating custom-made eyewear. From the very beginning, therefore, glasses Rodenstock they differ as they adapt individually to the wearer. After Munich, in 1898 Rodenstock in turn erects a large production plant also in Regen, in the Bavarian forest. Already in 1905, the same place hosts a second factory used for production. It is in this period that Josef Rodenstock manages to start a qualitatively advanced industrial production of lenses and frames for glasses. Rodenstock produces the first sun protection lenses, with custom prescription and UV protection. In addition, the company launches the first bifocal lenses with an integrated near vision zone on the market. The range of products also includes rimless glasses, pincenez, monocles and various plated frames or in steel, nickel and other materials. After the Great War, Rodenstock it recovered from the crisis quickly: it improved the means of production, perfected the work from a technical and scientific point of view and expanded the distribution of products. Despite the hardships of the 1920s, Rodenstock continues to invest in technical innovations and obtains numerous other pioneering patents. By now the undisputed protagonist of the optical sector, Rodenstock he can employ various film stars to advertise his fashionable frames: in 1959 the faces of Hildegard Knef, Brigitte Bardot and Gina Lollobrigida appear on the pages of many magazines. Rodenstock reaches a new milestone when it launches the first photochromic lenses on the European market. Numerous other innovations followed, among which the first models of glasses with lenses framed only by an invisible nylon thread stand out. Rodenstockhe didn't stop even in the face of the 1974 oil crisis, proposing yet another innovation: organic lenses. Even the very precise matrices used for their production are the work of Rodenstock. In 1975 about 130,000 organic lenses were sold and in 1980 even 2.6 million. Other innovations Rodenstock concerning the organic material are: in 1986 the photochromic lenses, in 1988 the high refractive ones and in 1989 the aspherical bifocal ones. Under the name of “Progressiv R”, Rodenstock launches the first progressive lenses of its own production on the German market. Their success is immediate! Rodenstock adopts the "R" as its logo and trademark and outlines its philosophy more clearly: glasses must respond to the visual needs of the wearer, enhancing their personality. For this purpose the collections are rearranged according to the design features. Even today, the glasses Rodenstockare recognized for innovation, lightness and functionality.

The term "VINTAGE" derives from the French "l'age du vin", or the vintage of the wine, originally referring to the harvest of the finest wines, since the passage of time (aging) led the product to be richer, tastier and more more valuable consequence.

In fact, the vintage style has the main characteristic of valuing not quantity, but quality. Similarly, eyewear defined as "vintage" is a product that has accumulated at least twenty years of life since its creation, more precisely, an object produced in the past that has acquired value and importance thanks to the qualities of elegance and unrepeatability.

Precisely for this reason the vintage glasses that we offer have very high quality standards and are difficult to find elsewhere. Scrolling through the list of brands that we market, you will discover their history, their technical characteristics and the belief that over the years these brands have done just that, arriving at the creation of objects that, unfortunately, we believe cannot be reproduced at the same quality level. In line with the vintage philosophy, our goal is to offer the customer an unrepeatable service by merging quality, uniqueness and enhancement of the products.
