Each of our Titanium frames are forged in Fukui, Japan by master craftsmen some of whom were present when the world's first titanium frames were produced. The lead craftsmen each have over 35 years of experience in creating the world's highest quality titanium eyewear and apply their knowledge and skill into each and every frame they make.
The temples are finished with acetate ends made from the same premium Japanese acetate we use in the manufacture of our acetate collection, ensuring only the highest grade materials are used throughout.

Longevity, resistance and strength are our metrics. In this case there is no match... in the event of incident the lightweight, yet cunningly durable Japanese titanium can easily be re-shaped, blue coated screws ensure each piece is locked into place and the frame remains resistant to any sort of corrosion whatsoever. Let the machine come, this will hang about.

Il n'y aurait pas grand intérêt à proposer de si belles montures si les verres que nous offrons ne reflétaient pas le même dévouement à la qualité. Sans surprise, nous avons trouvé les partenaires parfaits au Japon avec lesquels nous travaillons directement. Ils s'occupent à la fois de la fabrication de nos verres propriétaires et de l'exécution des commandes. Après tout, votre vue est un don et doit être protégée de la meilleure façon possible.
