(*Updated in July 2022)
Hello,
An eyewear brand that started in London.
Selling "METRONOME®"
This is OKD from METRONOME-Tokyo Online.
It's 2022 and it's still cold.
It's cold, too cold...
In times like these, wear sunglasses.
In fact, sunglasses are recommended even in winter.
Of course, towards the spring of 2022,
You will also need sunlight when it returns.
This time, we're looking at winter outfits in full swing.
And then, towards Spring/Summer 2022,
Glasses/sunglasses recommended by staff
Let me introduce them to you.
The theme this time is
Sunglasses are useful all year round!

It is being rewritten.

1. Winter sunglasses
It's already becoming common
"Be careful of UV rays even in winter!"
Aren't UV rays stronger in the summer?
There is a tendency to think that
In fact, there is more UV radiation in winter.
(I was surprised when I looked it up)
of course,
Not only UV rays but also strong summer sunlight
Sunglasses to protect your eyes
It can be said to be an essential item.
Regarding UV rays,
It has to do with the movement of the sun,
Without going into details...
"In winter, you need to be just as careful of UV rays as in spring."
Please remember this ^^
Winter is ski season.
Everyone wears sunglasses on the slopes, right?
UV damage caused by glare is severe,
Sunglasses also play a role in protecting your eyes.

2. Winter Fashion: Unique Glasses and Sunglasses
In winter,
Wearing thick clothes = occasions when wearing a coat
It will increase, right?
It can also be used as an item to add color to your winter outfit.
Sunglasses can be used fashionably.
Our store is also a sunglasses specialty store.
We have a variety of items available.
It was well received at overseas exhibitions.
SummerRain and others
Resonance 's best value for money
Colored sunglasses lens frames.
And there's the Trad , which is made of titanium and exudes luxury.
For everyday use and outdoor activities
In terms of combination,
Personally, I recommend the "nawatemaki."
The reason is
Outdoor activities
Eliminate the annoying "glasses slippage" when traveling
Because you don't have to worry about it.
For example, here is SummerRain
The rope is wrapped around the ears, making the part that rests on the ears rounded.
Actually, this Summer Rain,
I also use it regularly.
It fits snugly in your ears
It doesn't slip off and is softer than I thought.
The wrapping part doesn't hurt either, which is nice.
(By the way, I usually listen to SummerRain and Rush,
I also use Attitude.)
One more thing on top!
Speaking of rope hand wrapping, we also have traditional styles!
This is an introduction to Lotus from the Trad series.
(The frame is antique gold, the temples are hand-wrapped with rope, and the clip lenses are gray.)
Titanium has a classic feel to it,
It seems like it would be suitable for a variety of situations.
This is also an item that we highly recommend you try.
3. Photochromic lenses that can be used both indoors and outdoors
Well, there's still more.
Continuing on, today we will be looking at glasses with photochromic lenses.
Let me introduce you.
Speaking of photochromic lenses
Wear sunglasses outdoors where there is a lot of UV rays.
This is a great product that changes to a clear lens indoors.
Unlike jumping up,
There is no need to change the clips.
It's the perfect item for the outdoors.
It is popular both overseas and in Japan.
Immediately after going out
They look like regular glasses,
Gradually depending on the amount of UV rays
It changes into sunglasses.
Please check out the before and after photos.
I want to show you (sorry I don't have any photos 🙇♂️)
Especially the original metronome series
Photochromic lenses are widely used.
Normally, it would be at a shop or trade fair.
You can experience the functionality for yourself.
Why we have an online shop
As for whether it is operated,
There is a story as written in the About section below.
...
~Why we created a direct site~
It was when designer Iwamoto visited an agency in Okinawa that he heard from the owner, who was originally from a remote island, that there were still many stores in Japan that people wanted to visit but couldn't.~omission~
After that, we started talking about why it's not selling in Japan even though we're getting a lot of inquiries on Instagram.
Up until now, it was common to buy glasses at a retail store. To do so, they had to be purchased by a buyer first. However, because of its radical design, it was starting to be introduced in stores with cutting-edge tastes, but it was still in a state of disuse.However, it became clear that there were many people who "wanted to go but couldn't" or "wanted to buy but couldn't," so on the way back from Okinawa, Iwamoto said, "You can order it online."
~omission~
Fortunately, thanks to Iwamoto's exposure in Japan and his track record overseas, the number of distributors for each brand has finally increased compared to the past, but there are still many regions that cannot be reached.
In addition, the designers and planning team who plan many of the overseas brands also plan to sell niche, lesser-known overseas brands in the future.
To that end, we will continue to cooperate with our distributors in various ways, operate our online shopping site, and strive to ensure that our sunglasses and eyeglasses reach people all over Japan.
...
Now,
Let's go back to the topic of photochromic lenses.
I also find it useful when playing golf.
So, what kind of items are there?
For example, the metronome "Rush."
These C5, C6, and C7 clear lenses are
Equipped with CR photochromic lens "gray color".
(※ All frames come with photochromic lenses.
It's not that they're being hired,
(Used in C5, C6, and C7)

Sunglasses and eyeglasses
As a device that has both functions,
In the Resonance series and Trad series
There are clip lenses available.
With those clip lenses
Comparing these photochromic lenses:
"Depending on the situation
You need to use different frames,
No need to change lenses
Photochromic lenses
"One frame and one lens can serve two purposes"
It's very attractive.
While pursuing design, functionality,
And we are particular about the materials.
I feel it's good when I use it.
When it functions as sunglasses
The lens color changes to reduce glare,
It blocks ultraviolet rays.
The summer of 2021 was also very hot,
We will continue to use photochromic lenses in 2022.
I think I'll rely on you and do my best.
Of course, the lenses can be replaced,
I want to change to prescription photochromic lenses.
