From Mercedes-Benz Press Release
Following the Mercedes-Benz glasses presented in January, the eyewear manufacturer ic! berlin is now presenting its collection of corrective eyewear and sunglasses, developed in cooperation with Mercedes-AMG. In these models, powerful rectangular shapes, strong colour contrasts and refined details make a clear statement. The collection includes three pairs of unisex corrective glasses and two pairs of men's sunglasses, all of which are extremely comfortable to wear. The lenses of the sunglasses come from the driving range of Zeiss Sunlenses and are engraved with an AMG logo. All ic! berlin glasses are handmade in the company's own factory in Berlin.
Detail highlights of the unisex corrective frames include the iconic ic! berlin 10 mm bar on the AMG 03 and AMG 04 models or the forward-curved bridge of the AMG 05 model, reminiscent of a spoiler.

Thanks to the sporty design, this model is also well suited for teenagers and young adults.
The corrective glasses are available in three colour combinations: matt black with AMG red, gun metal with AMG yellow and pearl with AMG blue.
