The Classic Monocle: A Guide to the Single Eyeglass
The monocle, a single eyeglass held in place by the orbital muscles, is an accessory of timeless distinction and elegance. Once a symbol of aristocracy in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it has enjoyed a modern revival, appreciated for its minimalist aesthetic and unique, sartorial flair.
The most practical and traditional design is the galleried monocle. This style features a small, raised wire gallery on the rear of the frame, which is designed to help the monocle sit comfortably and securely in the eye socket, making it much easier to wear.
Today, we continue this tradition by offering a beautiful, classic 38mm galleried monocle with a polished silver finish, expertly custom-glazed in the UK with your required lens strength.
