PAST FORWARD — Episode 02 - The Alpina M1.

Some frames become vintage. Others become icons.

Made in West Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Alpina M1 is one of the most recognisable and highly collectible sunglasses ever created.

Sculpted in aluminium, radically futuristic and almost impossible to ignore, the M1 became inseparable from some of the defining faces of its era. None more iconic than Stevie Wonder, who wore them on the cover of the 1985 “Part-Time Lover” single.

At André Opticas, we preserve an extensive eyewear archive containing several rare Alpina M1 frames — not restored, not reconditioned, but genuine new old stock, untouched survivors from another time.

Rare then. Even rarer now.

Would you wear them today?

You’ve seen how eyewear looks.
But have you ever heard how it’s made?

The cut. The drill. The file. The polish.

These are the sounds behind a pair of @familyaffaireyewear handmade spectacles — a mechanical little symphony played every day inside the André Opticas Atelier.

No factories. No shortcuts.
Just skilled hands, stubborn precision and a touch of Paris in the background.

Sound on. Which operation would you watch for hours?

This one didn’t come from a catalogue.
It came from curiosity, stubbornness and a little bad behaviour.

Bespoke frame made in Buffalo horn, entirely handmade — with something you almost never see: a wire core running through the horn temples.

A technique we developed ourselves at the Family Affair atelier, simply because the usual way wasn’t interesting enough.

An atelier is not a room with tools. It is a place where techniques are invented.

Here, we test. We fail. We rethink. We make again. Materials are pushed further, old rules are questioned and new ways of making are born at the bench.
Not innovation as a marketing word.

A real métier — earned one experiment at a time.
Made by hand.

Developed in-house.
Never borrowed.
And naturally, played LOUD

CHARLIE, by Family Affair. @familyaffaireyewear

Cut from 8mm Italian cotton acetate, Charlie has a presence that comes from proportion, material and restraint.

Its construction is finished with Visottica temple cores and hinges, while a set of vintage pin decor, discovered in an old warehouse in France, introduces something altogether less technical: a detail with a previous life, now given a new context.

ZEISS lenses, finished with an anti-reflective treatment on the inner surface, complete the frame with the same attention to detail.

Substantial in the hand. Effortless on the face.
Nothing superfluous. Everything considered.
Family Affair — made for those who notice the difference. by @andreopticas

Some materials deserve to be waited for.

A rare slab of buffalo horn, chosen for its depth and natural movement. Vintage snakeskin, kept for the right piece. Shaped, finished and assembled entirely by hand by the artisans of Family Affair.

One bespoke frame. Made once, for one person.

Crafted in Lisbon.
Next stop: New York.

Sun lenses protect. Cosmetic lenses reveal. Sunglass lenses reduce light, protect from UV, and hide the eyes. Cosmetic lenses keep the eyes visible, add character, and soften the expression — even when you’re not wearing makeup. At André Ópticas, we create both: for new frames or for the frames you already own. Eyewear is not only about seeing. It’s about being seen.

Last year, André Opticas Triathlon Team conquered Ironman in Cascais.
This year, we took the André Opticas mindset beyond Portugal.

Vitória-Gasteiz @ironmantrispain was not simply another finish line. It was proof of who we are.
We are not built to follow the obvious path.
We are different by choice, resilient by nature and relentlessly focused on what comes next.

At André Opticas, precision is not limited to the frames we create. It is present in the way we work, the way we overcome obstacles and the way we pursue every ambition.

An Ironman demands exactly that: vision, discipline, endurance and the ability to keep moving when stopping would be easier.

3.8 km swimming.
180 km cycling.
42.2 km running.

The distances are measured in kilometres.

The achievement is measured in character.

From Portugal to the World we crossed more than a border. We expanded the territory of what André Opticas represents.

Portuguese by origin.
Independent by spirit.
Uncompromising by nature.

We see further.
We go further.

André Opticas, beyond borders.

This is @familyaffaireyewear

This is not the destination.

For now, 36 Avenida da Liberdade is our temporary home — a space for ideas, encounters and objects worth seeing differently.

Behind the scenes, something far greater is taking shape.

Not simply a new store.
A new way of creating, experiencing and understanding eyewear.

The Pop-Up is now open.

What comes next will redefine the way the world sees.

Não apenas uma nova loja.

A Pop-Up já está aberta.

A temporary sign.
A very permanent intention.

While our new Avenida da Liberdade home takes shape, we will be in our new address with a Pop-Up at 36B.

Same obsession. New address. A Lot more to offer.
See you on Liberdade. by @andreopticas

New level unlocked.

Our Avenida da Liberdade store is MOVING — not away, but FORWARD.

From number 136 to number 36, we are opening a temporary pop-up while something very special is being prepared.

A new stage. A new energy. The same obsession.

The game continues at Avenida da Liberdade, 36. by @andreopticas
