NOCHINO OPTICAL KOUGETSU #1. PLUTINUM SILVER × CLEAR to D.GREY (dimming)

Modern functional beauty, stripped of all unnecessary elements.
A product that embodies the very essence of what a product should be.
A one-of-a-kind metal frame that shines with quiet individuality and craftsmanship.
NOCHINO OPTICAL presents the ultimate minimalist metal frame, bringing together the craftsmanship of artisans from Sabae, Japan's world-renowned eyewear manufacturing center.
We completely eliminated ornamentation such as metal engraving and arabesque patterns, pursuing a timeless and genderless functional beauty.
The frames are all made of titanium, a material that is lightweight and highly durable.
In particular, the front rim uses a 0.9mm thick titanium rim, rather than the 1.0mm thick rim commonly used in Sabae-made eyeglasses.
This achieves both a clean, streamlined appearance when viewed from the front and excellent durability.
The temples are made of β-titanium, which combines flexibility and elasticity. Its supple flexibility allows it to naturally fit the wearer's face, providing a comfortable fit even during prolonged wear.
Furthermore, the spoon shape at the tip of the temples combines aesthetic appeal with stability and comfort around the ear.
The hinge section, which is the heart of the frame, employs a "split-end joint structure," a traditional manufacturing method where it is precisely cut from a single piece of metal, resulting in a robustness and beauty that can only be achieved through the handcrafted work of skilled artisans.
Furthermore, it features adjustable nose pads and titanium nose pads.
The nose pads are made from allergy-free material, and because they are a part that comes into direct contact with the skin, comfort and safety have been prioritized in every detail.
The frame shape is neither Wellington, Boston, nor square; it's a unique silhouette developed by NOCHINO OPTICAL.
The inspiration came from eyewear unearthed at a vintage market in France. From there, we refined it into a universal shape that suits both Asian facial features and Caucasian bone structure.
The lens size is perfectly balanced, making it ideal even for people with severe myopia.
NOCHINO OPTICAL's signature 2-curve lenses are neither flat nor conventionally curved, but feature a beautiful curved surface and glossy finish. They express a depth and sense of luxury reminiscent of hand-carved glass lenses of yesteryear.
Lens: 2-curve Body: Frame size 46mm, Bridge width 19mm, Temple length 145mm

Regarding photochromic lenses, they generally have a lifespan of about 3 years, although this can vary depending on the frequency and environment of use.
Frequent use in ultraviolet light or use/storage in high-temperature environments (e.g., sauna, bathroom, car interior) may gradually degrade the dimming performance.
We ask for your understanding in advance.
