1. Introduction

Well, our new product "Infected" is now on sale. We apologize for the long wait to everyone who pre-ordered. We are shipping out products one by one, so please wait a little longer.

Today, as the title suggests, I would like to introduce some of my personal and biased selection of black frames. Our shop also carries a wide variety of eyeglass and sunglasses frames, including those with clear frames.

Titanium frames sold relatively well in the first half of 2021, but acetate-based materials have recently been gaining attention. In particular, at the overseas exhibition (Silmo Paris 2021) held in September 2021, many clear and brightly colored frames, primarily made of acetate, were on display. This was the case at an overseas exhibition showcasing trends for 2021 and 2022, and the trend is beginning to emerge in Japan, albeit somewhat late.

2. The original metronome is amazing

Well, first of all, let's start by introducing the glasses/sunglasses brand that represents our shop.

( Adjustment disorder [METRONOME] C1: FOSSIL BLACK)

These glasses are made with the utmost craftsmanship in Sabae, a city known as the holy land of eyeglasses. The Boston-style design features the brand and the unique "fossil processing" technique of Sun Optical, a factory in Sabae.

I'm sorry that it's hard to convey the texture of this product in an image. You can see a larger image on this product page , so I hope you'll take a look at the meticulous carving process.

This chic black finish gives it a presence that makes it seem as if it has suddenly become the center of attention. It is a popular item among overseas buyers and is already out of stock. Each piece is individually carved, so it is "one of a kind for you!"

Another stylish pair of glasses that represents Metronome's design is Since Yesterday [METRONOME]

( Since Yesterday [METRONOME] C1:BLACK)

These glasses were designed in a single stroke by the designer and were the first to be released in this season's collection. The lenses are photochromic , making them a great pair of glasses that can be used both as glasses indoors and as sunglasses outdoors where there is a lot of UV rays!

Best of all, the cable temples (hand-wrapped rope) prevent the glasses from slipping off. They also feature clings ( the nose pads, which determine how comfortable the glasses are to wear). The metal used is hypoallergenic titanium. ( Click here for more information on SInce Yesterday.)

3. Trad: A cool, classic design

And then there's the Trad series. Some of these products use beta titanium, making them gentle on people with allergies. They offer a range of classic yet conservative designs that are popular in Japan.

Among them, I would like to introduce Anemones [Trad 2021].

( Anemones [Trad 2021] C1 : Black x Mat Black)

These glasses feature a traditional octagonal silhouette. The lenses are made of PC-CURE dry lenses and feature blue light blocking, making them ideal for desk work. The color makes them comfortable to wear both remotely and on-site.

2021 has been a year in which remote work has become widespread. I think more and more people are returning to the office, but it's great to have a design that can be worn both on and off the job and still be stylish ^^

Another recommended style is the Lilac [Trad 2021], a pair of glasses with a traditional pentagonal silhouette.

(Lilac [Trad 2021] C1: Black x Mat Black)

These glasses also feature blue light blocking lenses. They're not heavy, so they're stress-free to wear and perfect for concentrating on desk work. The slim titanium frame gives off an intellectual impression. ( Click here for more information on Lilac.)

4. Collaboration brands currently being introduced specially in our shop

Well, it's not just our original brand. We'd like to introduce some items that are sold exclusively at our shop! We'd like to introduce you to Mamoru-shu [MonkeyFlip] from MonkeyFlip, a brand that is popular for its edgy designs.

( MonkeyFlip C1: Black)

Originally a select shop, the desire to "deliver cool" gradually evolved into the desire to "create cool" ourselves. The brand began producing original frames in 1998.

The lineup is packed with a wide variety of colors, making it hard to choose. We also have clear models that represent the 2021-2022 season. Be sure to check out MonkeyFlip's black frames too! ( Click here for details)

Another brand is Rimrock. It was founded in 1983 by eyeglass craftsmen in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, the holy land of Japanese eyeglasses. In order to preserve the traditions of Sabae eyeglasses, this Japanese brand is committed to maintaining its traditional brand identity and not being swayed by changing trends and fashions.

Introducing the [RIMROCK] R578A from Rimrock!

( [RIMROCK]R578A-41 BLACK )

The distinctive round frame and glossy black color are characteristic of the chic design that is typical of Japanese products. Demo lenses or blue light blocking lenses are available as an option. Although made in Japan, RImrock is becoming increasingly popular overseas.

This is a must-try item for anyone who appreciates quality and luxury. (See the product page here .)

5. Resonance: The best value for money and glossy black color

Now, to finish off the list, we'd like to introduce the black MINX [Resonance 2021] from Resonance, a favorite of our staff.

( MINX [Resonance 2021] C1 : Black x Green)

While maintaining the good value for money that is Resonance's strength, the design of the Metronome remains the same. These sunglasses have a distinctive silhouette with a thick Wellington style and a clip that creates a double bridge, inheriting the Metronome design.

A distinctive feature is the clip-on lenses, a familiar feature of Resonance products, which can be attached and detached to be used as both glasses and sunglasses.

( MINX [Resonance 2021] C1: Black x Green Clip removed version)

The thick frame tightens the expression and the frame color is finished in jet black. I think it is a fitting item to conclude this introduction of the Black Series!

The final product is the latest release released in the second half of 2021, Infected [Resonance by METRONOME® × KUDAN] , which we hope will become a trendy product in 2022.

( Infected [Resonance by METRONOME® × KUDAN] C1: Black: Clip Lenses: Gray)

( Infected [Resonance by METRONOME® × KUDAN] C1: Black: Clip Lenses: Gray)

This thickness and presence are unmatched within the brand. This new product has attracted the attention of buyers from around the world at overseas exhibitions. The Resonance signature clip-on lenses allow you to easily switch between glasses and sunglasses.

We hope you'll use this for your winter and spring outfits from winter 2021 to spring 2022! In addition to black, it's also available in the popular demi-color, so please take a look at the product details here .

6. Conclusion

There's still a lot more to introduce, so I'll be adding more to this blog! (Please come back and read it again ^^)

We hope you will continue to pay attention to Metronome's online store.

Well then!
