Historical Context
Martin Wells was an Australian eyewear manufacturer founded in Sydney in 1953/1954 by businessman Sidney Sinclair, optometrist Eric Hurst, and spectacle-frame specialist Dino Zingarelli. At a time when Australian eyewear was largely conservative and utilitarian, Martin Wells introduced more fashionable shapes, colors, decorative trims, and materials, helping transform spectacles into fashion accessories in Australia.

The brand became particularly prominent during the 1950s and 1960s, producing frames in Australia that were widely worn and sold nationally. Designs such as the Envoy, Spellbound, Society, and Amelia featured sculpted plastics, keyhole bridges, two-tone finishes, and decorative metal details characteristic of mid-century eyewear. The company continued operating until 1998, but its early Australian-made frames are especially representative of the country's emerging postwar eyewear industry.

Very clean and a neat add-on to what seems to be a soft launch to my sunglasses collection. If the Neo glasses are still available within time I promise, I'll order them.

So unique and always get a compliment when I wear these. They’re also the most comfortable glasses I’ve ever owned. Never had them so custom for me before - and now I’ll never go back!

My experience was awesome through the whole process! Found the pair I loved, was able to try them on online (SUPER COOL FEATURE) and my order was confirmed immediately. They sent me tracking info, and confirmed when they were delivered to my mailbox! They arrived professionally wrapped, with a kind handwritten note (one of my fav things in life) and my cool new glasses that I will be sporting this weekend at 2 different festivals!! Viva AZYR_specs!! Thank you for offering the coolest of cool eyewear!

I was blessed to have had these glasses fall onto my face right when I needed them. They fit perfectly and my eyes are so happy behind them. I hope to buy another pair of AZYR glasses soon. Sincerely Catherine

These are so sick! they remind me of my fav Macbeth Tom Delonge frames from 15+ years ago - the pink is so light it doesnt too girly. I have shoulder length hair and the red/brown pop love the shape and def will be getting some more soon

They arrived safe! The package got routed weirdly through USPS (NYC>AZ>Ohio>Georgia>San Diego) so the box was banged up, but the glasses were totally fine! Everything was as pictured, fit me and look great! Thank you so much to Maureen and her team for getting me something I've dreamed of for years :)

Awesome glasses, titanium frame is super light and sturdy, the design is very unique and cool without being too outlandish. They also came with a really cool triangular prism folding carrying case.

Very happy with the glasses- sweet people packed my order with a handwritten note. Haven't worn them out much but they fit and they're comfortable, they actually look right, not tacky. Fits my smallerish face without looking too big. Thanks!

The Matrix glasses are incredible and fit perfectly. The virtual try on feature is a game changer and helped me make the right choice based on my face shape without any guesswork. The personal touch throughout the whole experience was great, I highly highly recommend!
