In Quartz, the Blaksmith is cut from a translucent grey acetate that lends a cool, crystalline restraint to the sharp rectangular silhouette. Lighter and more subtle than the solid colourways, it has a quiet confidence — the kind of frame that looks understated until someone notices the material quality up close. The Blaksmith is named in tribute to a close friend of the Archibald family. The sharp, rectangular frame complements strong jawlines and is well suited to those with wider faces. It's the ultimate combination of a classic frame with a contemporary edge. Cut from a single sheet of premium Japanese acetate sourced from Takiron Rowland, each frame is handcrafted in Sabae, Japan by Takumi master craftsmen across six weeks and over 200 manual processes. The Japanese 3-barrel hinge, finished with blue-coated screws, adds a structural durability you notice every time you open the arms. Ships to Hong Kong.
