The Black Edition, Götti Switzerland

We are fortunate to have a peek preview in advance of the new collection designed by Sven Götti – The Black Edition.  There are four distinctive models – all in black – featuring the latest high tech assets and precision details. To ensure this reed-thin titanium frame retains its luscious black finish, a PVD (physical vapor deposition) process is used.  And everything on the frame is Black – front, pads, earpieces, even the miniscule screws are black.   Just a sliver of a silver hinge provides subtle contrast.  Black is seductive, sensuous, secretive and elegant – Götti captures all these qualities with The Black Edition.

Gold & Wood Paris / Wood Optic

This is a luxurious men’s optical frame (also produced as a sunglass) made in two exotic sounding woods…tanganika and bubinga for the face. The temples are made of bubinga while the front combines both woods. Wood is a fashionable material given its longevity and refined patterning…and of course its smooth finish which feels nice on the skin. It is an easy-to-wear material that has lots of exciting colours and effects….this style is subdued and classic with clean lines and a matt finish which adds to the sophistication. The combination of the two woods is simple and very effective for the overall elegance of the frame. CN
