The Company Behind Ugly Gold Phones Is Now Making Ugly Gold Smart Glasses

Caviar is targeting the luxury market with a custom version of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, branded as the "Odyssey." The Gadgeteer confirmed the device is priced at $6,130 and features 24-karat gold plating. This product launch marks an expansion of the company’s business model from custom mobile devices to wearable technology, positioning the smart glasses as jewelry. Digital Trends and Gizmodo describe the aesthetic as unattractive, contrasting the company's marketing of the item as a "collectible artifact." While www1.ru highlights the transformation of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer II into a high-end accessory, coverage from TechEBlog focuses specifically on the gold-edged design elements.

The consensus across all sources identifies the product as a visual departure from the standard smart glass aesthetic. Disagreement exists regarding the value proposition of the device. Certain outlets emphasize the functional utility of the underlying smart glasses, while others characterize the product primarily through its visual modifications.

Current coverage does not specify if the internal technology of the glasses remains identical to the base Meta model or if the modifications affect the weight or performance of the hardware.
