[2022 Latest Edition] Trend-forward and unique eyeglasses/sunglasses brand I METRONOME

Hello, I'm OKD from METRONOME-Tokyo Online, the official Japanese online store for METRONOME DESIGN INC., which sells METRONOME®, an eyewear brand that started in London.

What kind of glasses or sunglasses do you normally wear? Or are you looking for a new pair of glasses or sunglasses or a replacement pair?

Our shop sells several brands, including METRONOME, an eyeglasses and sunglasses brand that started in London and is gaining recognition in Japan.

1. What is a METRONOME?

The brand debuted in London in 2017. Since then, it has quickly received requests from buyers around the world to become a distributor, and has rapidly expanded overseas. Every year, the brand presents its collections in Paris, Milan, New York, and London.

Since 2018, they have unofficially participated in the Paris Collection, making them the only Japanese brand to have participated in the Paris Collection with sunglasses.

The brand's seemingly eccentric yet calculated designs are unique to a designer who has lived his life in fashion, and are highly regarded for their design and storytelling, both as individual pieces and as total fashion.

2. Glasses and sunglasses with designs that will make you take a second look

The first thing that stands out about our metronome brand products is their unique design, which has been highly praised not only in Japan but also overseas.

You want frames that are unlike any other. You're looking for stylish glasses/sunglasses. You want to make a more striking impression on your face, you want to adorn your face. You're not satisfied with ordinary, you're looking for a more outlandish design. We have forged ahead as a unique brand that can only be purchased here.

3. It's not just the design. The materials and techniques are outstanding.

METRONOME frames are not just stylish and unique, they are also carefully crafted with the utmost attention to detail, and are designed and engineered by professionals in the field.

METRONOME's eyeglass/sunglasses frames are "handmade." Some frames are even individually carved.

The item in the photo is made using a technique called "fossil processing," in which each frame is individually carved and finished. Because each frame is individually carved, no two frames have the exact same pattern. This makes it truly "one of a kind."

The frame above has a large design with two lenses built into an 8mm thick front rim. Both the inside and outside of the frame feature gradient sunglasses lenses. The gradients on both the inside and outside of the frame are completely matched.

The original design can be seen from afar and has been highly praised, appearing in promotional videos.

The temples are decorated with colorful cloisonné motifs that represent the ever-changing colors of Tokyo. This kind of ingenuity is not something that can be achieved easily.

These glasses have a relatively simple design, but they use photochromic lenses. The color of the lenses changes depending on the amount of UV rays they receive, acting as clear eyeglass lenses indoors when there is less UV, and as sunglasses lenses outdoors when there is more UV.

Since there is no need to change the frame, it is a useful frame for outdoor activities.

4. Conclusion ~Metronome sunglasses and original storage case~

Finally, let us introduce the original METRONOME case. The book-like box that we have been talking about, placed under the frame, is actually a storage case for glasses/sunglasses.

It can be opened and closed, and can store up to four pairs of eyeglasses or sunglasses. Its book-like design makes it a highly rated storage case that can also be used as interior décor.

What do you think?

While our shop carries the latest trends for Spring/Summer 2021-2022, we also want you to experience the original METRONOME, which laid the foundation for the brand. That's why we wrote this article.
