As a basic tool for people to improve their vision, glasses are not only functional, they are also an essential accessory to show your personality. In terms of materials, eyeglass frames mainly include plates, carbon fiber, metal, etc. There is also another special natural material frame - horn glasses. Today’s article mainly wants to share with you the differences between horn glasses and glasses made of other traditional materials.
The differences between horn glasses and other traditional material glasses can be explained from five aspects: appearance, wearing experience, market positioning, craftsmanship, and technological development.
1. Difference in appearance:
Glasses made of traditional materials, such as plates or metals, can be mass-produced exactly the same. But that's not possible with horn glasses. Due to the characteristics of its natural material, the pattern of each pair of horn glasses is unique. This is a gift from nature. Just like there are no two identical snowflakes in the world, the same is true for horn glasses.
2. Differences in wearing experience:
Different from traditional materials, horn glasses are hypoallergenic and anti-static. After polishing, horn glasses feel warm and skin-friendly, making them more comfortable to the touch than plastic glasses. Compared with the heavy metal glasses, horn glasses are light in weight, have good breathability, and have a better wearing feel.
3. Differences in market positioning:
From a price point of view, the cost of traditional glasses varies, ranging from a few hundred yuan to a dozen yuan. This leads to a wide range of target consumer groups for traditional glasses, and the market positioning is not precise enough, ranging from mass brands to high-end brands. All brands can do it. The production cost of horn glasses is high. This is due to the high cost of raw materials and the difficulty of the production process, which results in a relatively high selling price. The target group is accurately positioned at first-line high-end and luxury brands.
4. Differences in process difficulty:
Horn glasses have very high requirements for the production process. The horns need to be left for 1-2 years to wait for the water to dry naturally to avoid cracking. The characteristics of the horn material are exploited to avoid weaknesses, which further extends the durability of the horn glasses. The post-production of horn glasses rings also tests the master's skills. After so many years of development, the craftsmanship of traditional glasses has become very mature and can be produced in large quantities.
5. Differences in technological development:
With continuous exploration, the technological development of horn glasses has reached a relatively mature stage. Judging from the current manufacturing process, the future technological development direction of horn glasses is to improve the durability and stability of horn glasses without destroying its beauty. The traditional eyewear category will focus on exploring new materials that are lighter in weight and better in quality.
I believe that after reading this article, everyone will have their own opinions on the differences between horn glasses and traditional glasses. With the rapid development of technology, horns can also be combined with titanium materials, combining the advantages of the two materials to produce glasses that are truly suitable for consumers.
