Mercedes Recognizes Its Owners Are Old With Special Eyeglasses

It's taken German carmaker Mercedes-Benz a long time to shake off its old-timer image. The brand has succeeded not only through its performance subsidiary AMG but by offering younger buyers youthful alternatives such as theCLAfour-door coupe andGLASUV.

Its latest collaboration with eyewear manufacturer ic! berlin certainly isn't the most youthful product the brand has worked on but aims to lend the elegance associated with their cars to eyeglasses.

The range is inspired by the 'flowing aesthetics' of Mercedes-Benz cars and draws on color combinations associated with the brand's range ofelectric EQ vehicles．德国carmaker describes the range as 'emphatically elegant' with an emphasis on wearer comfort being important.

A number of styles will be made available. MB 07 is characterized by its round and sporty look, while MB 08 caters to those who want to cut a stylish figure. The rectangular lens and emphasized bridge work together to create a "design statement for everyday life."

MB09 is the sensible choice of the bunch. Temple ends made of thermoplastic elastomers allow for adjustment, creating a comfortable frame that sits on the face securely. Last up is MB10. A Mercedes-Benz star pattern takes pride of place on the temple, the matte black frame further accentuated by a gold hinge clip.
