Curry & Paxton represents British eyewear at its elegant, iconic best, celebrating a century of innovation and imagination. Curry & Paxton was founded as a manufacturer of ophthalmic instruments, a contributor to the Second World War effort, and one of the early producers of spectacles for the National Health Service. From opera glasses and binoculars to motoring sunglasses, skiing goggles, and bespoke tortoiseshell frames, the company's achievements were recognized with a Royal Warrant from HRH, the Duke of Windsor, before famously framing Michael Caine's face in the Harry Palmer films and The Italian Job.
