El edificio que por algún tiempo será el más alto de Chile, hasta que se construya el costanera center, ambos se yerguen como grandes moles en el sector oriente de Santiago, junto a la rivera del río Mapocho.
Se puede comparar con esta imagen www.flickr.com/photos/pebelschile/3978263552/ tomada desde el mismo mirador del cerro hace varios meses, cuando el edificio aún no se concluía en su parte exterior.
El otro día venía bajando por Santa María en bicicleta y noté que el edficio es visible desde el edificio del mercurio, por allá por el puente centenario.

This is the closest to actual colour of the bottom brightest colours (but they're still much brighter in real life).
It's a sample board for the new Titanium range I'll be stocking (yummy)

In Greek mythology, Theia /ˈθiːə/ (sometimes rendered Thea, Théa or Thia), also called Euryphaessa "wide-shining", is a Titaness. The name Theia alone means simply "goddess" or "divine". :)))

Morgenthal Frederics PURO Eyeglasses. Lens 39mm (with lens holder) D.B.L. 22mm
PURO is a unique, simple design eyeglasses. Titanium frame with acetate lens holder. The Ti frame comes in pewter, polished chrome, gummetal, bronze finish. Lens holder comes in White, Black, Brown, Tortoise and Horn. PURO are sold with or without lens holders with price difference. The acetate piece is not a decoration piece that mount on the Ti frame. The lens actually set in it instead of Ti frame itself. It is very cool looking and no need to worry that they will fell out. PURO is not perfectly round or oval.
As pretty as it is, I had THE WORSE experience EVER with PURO. It was purchased at Morgenthal Frederics at 59th Street in Time Warner Center building. Sale was helpful cuz I had intend of buying. At the time, I wasn't sure to go for acetate or not and was told the lens holder can be purchase separately if I change my mind. So I went for the Ti frame only. The frame was around $420 and another $400 for the lens. The $400 lens doesn't include all the coating and 4 times more than what I usually pay for. After owning it for 3 month, I found out that the frame is not perfect round or oval. The imperfect roundness bother my mind greatly. I thought the acetate lens holder would help to notice the frame shape so I thought I'll pay them a visit.
I went back to the store I bought it from and told the sales I would like to purchase the lens holder and would nice if they can insert it for me. It was different sales this time and he told me "NO, we don't sell them separately." I told them I was inform so and how can I get a lens holder? "Sir, you have to purchase a brand new frame with it." I told them the idea was ridiculous, cuz if the told me so the first place, I would made different choice. "Sir, we can't help you unless you buy a brand new frame." I left the store ANGRY and thought she don't know what she is talking about, let me went a different store and see what they say. Some one gotta make some sense right?!
I went to their store on the 63rd & Madison with the same request. Sales ask me where my frame originally from and call the Time Warner store to confirm. While he was on the phone, he was judging me through his eyes and told me "NO. They said you were just at Time Warner Store and they have told you everything you need to know. I am sorry". I was FURIOUS this time.
Still not giving it up, thanks god I got unlimited subway pass. I went to 74th Street & Madison store. I told them I went through 2 stores already if they wanna call and confirm, be my guest. I told them the whole story and what 2 stores were tell me and how I am furious before I enter this store and hoping they can give me a better answer. They respond. "We can give you the lens holder for free, but you have to buy a set of brand lens from us." (which was $400) I asked "why, optician can just re-shape it". They respond, "The lens is too thin, they will break." I told them, "why don't you sell me the lens holder, and I will ask my optician." They say, "sorry, we can't do that. Not unless you buy a set of brand new lens. What an unbelievable bunch of assholes!
At last I went to their last store in Manhattan located at W. Broadway in SoHo. I told spoke with the manager, told them the 3 stores responses. I let him decided if anything make any sense. "They might misunderstood with your request. You know what, I'll give the lens holder to you for free. We want our customer to be happy." Took me to go through all stores with anger. All, because their sales misinform their customer.
I took the lens holder to Abe, my optician in Chinatown. I ask him if he can reshape my current lens into the lens holder. Took Abe 5 min. and lens set in the holder. "the lens is made of plastic not glass, why they think it will break?" I took the frame back, scratch & Spot less, PERFECT. I ask Abe, "Can you check the lens quality and coating, how much you will charge to match it." Abe check it and responded, "$120, for you, I'll charge $100. This lens doesn't have all the coating you usually have on. $100 you got everything." I ask him if this lens is higher end, thinner, better in any other way? "No, it is the same thing we are using here. It is not better or special." I did not respond. I did not tell Abe about Morgenthal Frederics charge $400 dollars for them with less coating. They absolutely made me feel like a FOOL.
Everything above is 100% true. Morgenthal Frederics products no doubt are well made but people working for the company seem too money hungry. I told everyone what you guys have done so they can have 2nd thoughts before buying Morgenthal Frederics products. Morgenthal Frederics sure gave me the worse shopping experience. Now, whenever people search for Morgenthal Frederics online, my review will show up with it. I will NEVER buy another pair from you guys and I hope this review will HURT your company deeply.
Customers are the reasons why your company is still standing. Remember it well and treat them good. WORDS do spread. Reputation has to earn it by SERVICE.
