Vintage Ultra Dynamic Sunglasses
Pioneering the oversized and chunky movements, more like continued the design concept, Ultra/Palm Optical was a family-owned and maintained operation in Miami, Florida. With the humble beginnings as Palm Optical in 1947, Fred and Kate Besner set out to establish an honorable optical concern, only to learn that what they created would found one of the greatest stories in the annals of vintage eyewear lore. The term 'Ultra' was added to the name in 1975 when Fred and Kate retired and their son Stan assumed the mantel of their ever-burgeoning company. Yet, it was then that Ultra/Palm would be responsible for the tide-turning event of introducing Cazal to the United States. Cari Zalloni's mastery was unlike anything the U.S. had come to see. The introduction of Cazal changed the manner and mode in which eyewear was viewed in the late 1970s/early 1980s. Ultra/Palm became synonymous with a fashion-forward eyewear, beyond that of which was maintained by the fashion houses in Europe. As their own manufactory, as well as distribution, Ultra/Palms released their own eyewear under the guise of Ultra, as seen here with the Dynamic. Caviar, Ultra'Palms' exclusive boutique eyewear line, would eventually find its way into the fold of Ultra in the early 1990s when Stan Besner retired and his son, Brad assumed authority.
To this day, Ultra/Palm still maintains the Cazal account, as well as their own lines, Ultra and Caviar.
Manufactured by Perciosa out of Holland, some in England; Caviar, as the exclusive collection, hosts the line with the class characterization among the ideals of Cartier and Tiffany, made in Italy.
