Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

Founded in 1877, Rodenstock has long been regarded as one of Germany’s premier optical manufacturers. The Mr.R collection was designed for those who appreciated engineering over excess, delivering exceptionally lightweight eyewear with timeless styling and outstanding craftsmanship.

Unlike many rimless designs of the era, the MRR 873 incorporates premium hinge construction and refined proportions that remain as contemporary today as when first introduced. Original unworn German-made Rodenstock sunglasses have become increasingly difficult to source, particularly examples retaining their original factory lenses and complete originality.

Notes

An exceptional example of late-century German optical design. Finding an unworn Mr.R series Rodenstock with its original factory lenses, original hardware, and Made in Germany construction has become increasingly uncommon. A refined collector’s piece that is equally at home in a curated collection or daily rotation.
