A Golden Age.

Each Golden Age frame is drawn from the late 1920s and 1930s, when London stood as the optical capital of the world. It was an age of smoky cafés and crowded pavements, of Clerkenwell workshops where new materials and experimental constructions reshaped the language of spectacles. Gone were the strict rounds and ovals of the past; in their place came sharper brows, softened squares, and daring depths.

To create our four new frames, we traced this restless spirit back through the archives. Visiting the College of Optometrists in London, and studying the traditional constructions and lens forms that once made the city’s optical industry revered around the world.

Each frame is built with a Burleigh joint, a distinctive interwar hinge, metal to metal, engineered for strength and clarity of line. Its precision lends an architectural sharpness, echoing the mechanical ingenuity of the era.

For the first time, each frame is made from the highest quality, Takiron acetate, first founded as Takigawa Celluloid in Osaka in 1919. Denser and harder than conventional acetates, its high-density composition gives each frame greater strength, while allowing for slimmer, more elegant silhouettes. Its surface polishes to a luminous lustre, revealing a depth and radiance that only intensifies with age.⁠

Each frame is hand finished. Here the outside of a temple is sanded to match the curve of our Burleigh joint.
