Tom Broughton is the Founder and CEO of Cubitts, the modern spectacle maker based in King’s Cross, London, England.

Cubitts frames, named after the historic streets in King’s Cross, are constructed with custom Cubitts pins that secure right through the acetate. The delicate process is done by hand to ensure the hinges can be easily maintained.

Tom grew up wearing and loving spectacles, and he actually started designing frames out of sheer passion at his kitchen table. Listen in as he discusses the importance of melding timeless, classic fashion with function in the eyewear industry. 

Spoiler alert: This is not another Warby Parker.
