Gautschi Optik was founded in Lausanne in 1878 by Emile Gautschi. Back then, hand-made craftsmanship was commonplace in the making of glasses, but these days it has become less and less common. One of the few exceptions are horn-rimmed glasses, which require many hours of painstaking work to fashion them from the highest quality horn of a water buffalo.
