Hans Lippershey, a 16th century Dutch spectacle maker, developed the telescope for the Royal Netherlands Navy during the Eighty Years War. Unlike Lippershey’s spectacles, which were made of wood and either held like a hand mirror or pinched on the nose, the newly invented telescope used a brass ring to house the lenses. Upon inspecting the telescope, the admirals in the Dutch navy were so impressed they commissioned Lippershey to develop brass rimmed spectacles for all officers who needed them. Our Admirals frames are named in tribute to the original circular Lippershey eyewear, but modified into an enhanced P3 frame for style and utility.
