Hour Specs was established in 1992 out of the vision and dedication of Joseph Khalatbar, a master optical dispenser whose passion for precision and quality has shaped the way people experience eyewear. With a deep understanding of the critical role that eyewear plays in both vision and personal expression, Joseph set out to create more than just an optical brand—he envisioned a legacy of excellence that would redefine the standards of the industry.
From its inception, Hour Specs has stood for more than just high-quality lenses and frames. It embodies a commitment to enhancing lives through the fusion of craftsmanship, innovation, and personalised care. Joseph’s expertise in optical dispensing laid the foundation for a company that doesn’t just meet expectations but exceeds them at every turn.
Each pair of glasses from Hour Specs is a testament to our unwavering dedication to detail. We use the finest materials, cutting-edge technology, and timeless design principles to craft eyewear that not only improves your vision but also complements your identity. We believe that the right pair of glasses can change the way you see the world—and how the world sees you.
At Hour Specs, we’re not just in the business of selling eyewear; we’re in the business of creating confidence, clarity, and connection. Guided by Joseph Khalatbar’s original vision, we continue to serve our customers with the same passion and precision that has defined our brand for over three decades. Your vision is our mission, and we’re here to ensure that you see, look, and feel your best every day.
As Hour Specs looks to the future, Joseph Khalatbar’s legacy is set to be carried forward by his son, George Khalatbar. Having inherited his father’s passion for precision and commitment to excellence, George is poised to lead the company into its next chapter. With a deep understanding of the optical industry and a vision for innovation, George is dedicated to upholding the high standards that have defined Hour Specs since its inception. Under his future leadership, the brand will continue to evolve, staying true to its core values while embracing new technologies and trends to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers. George Khalatbar is not just the future of Hour Specs; he is the embodiment of its ongoing mission to redefine eyewear for generations to come
