Summary
$6,840 buys Caviar’s new Odyssey edition of the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, which adds 24-karat gold accents and an alligator leather case to Meta’s standard wearable.
The luxury model keeps the same camera, microphones, speakers and AI features as the regular glasses, making exclusivity and materials—not upgraded technology—the main selling point.
Caviar also offers a silver version at $6,130, and says only 24 units will be made, tying the production run to the 24 books of Homer’s Odyssey.
The launch reflects a broader shift as AI glasses move toward the mainstream and luxury customizers treat wearable tech as a new status-symbol category despite its short upgrade cycle.
Will these $6,000 gold-plated smart glasses become the world's most expensive paperweights once their internal AI technology inevitably becomes obsolete?
Does wrapping a hidden camera in flashy gold distract the public from the glaring privacy risks of wearable AI technology?
