Titanium, then taste.
Beta-titanium drawn to 0.9 millimetres, bent cold, screwed — never glued. The engineering is the aesthetic; everything else is tint.

Beta-titanium drawn to 0.9 millimetres, bent cold, screwed — never glued. The engineering is the aesthetic; everything else is tint.
49 □ 21 — 145A frame lives on your face fourteen hours a day. It should weigh less than your keys and outlast your prescription by decades.
The round that started the bench. One wire, one bridge, no cheat bends. Worn by architects and people mistaken for architects.
The shape that suits the most faces per gram. If you only ever own one frame, the bench votes this one — quietly, but unanimously.
Titanium brow bar over a wire chassis. The one frame with an opinion; wear it on days you have one too.
Which side reads sharper?
Neither. Good.
Your frames should be
the last thing you notice.
Forty minutes at the optical bench: pupillary distance to the half-millimetre, temples bent to your ears — not the average ear — and nose pads set so the frame floats. You leave calibrated.
