Eyeglasses/Sunglasses that add a touch of style I Metronome

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

We are finally entering the cold, wintery month of December. There is less than a month left in 2021. We will continue to work hard towards 2022!

The theme of this blog is "decorative glasses and sunglasses."

So, what are the purposes for which you normally use glasses and sunglasses? For glasses, you can put prescription lenses in them, and for sunglasses, you can literally use them on sunny days.

Or perhaps many people use lenses as a fashion item for show?

Metronomes are highly regarded for their unique designs, and every year at collections and international exhibitions in Paris, Milan, New York, and London, there are a variety of unique items that impress buyers from all over the world.

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.

The latest release for 2021 , Summer Rain [METRONOME 2021] , is now on sale.

This popular Summer Rain model from the 2019 "Domination of Reverberation" collection is being re-released with new colors and improved temple tips and pads. The factory's former product name was "Mickey Mouse." The design, with the left and right lenses independently tilting upwards, and the unique rope-shaped temples crafted from slender beta titanium, are truly representative of METRONOME.

The flip-up mechanism that can be moved to either side is a unique feature! It's a favorite item that our staff personally use. (Click here for details)

The Resonance series was created in response to feedback such as, "I like the design of the metronome, but it's a bit expensive!" and "Is there something similar in design that's cheaper?" and is also very popular!

First up is BALANCIER [Resonance 2021] .

You don't see octagonal sunglasses very often, do you?^^ Colored sunglasses make it harder to hide your facial expressions.

We would also like to introduce BRAIN [Resonance 2021] .

( BRAIN [Resonance 2021] C1: Gold)

"Not glasses, but wire glasses." These lenses are not designed to be used as a decorative accessory for the face. Because they are decorative, they are made of lightweight beta titanium and are manufactured and finished by skilled Japanese craftsmen.

Decorative wireglass! It is a popular item at overseas exhibitions. Although it cannot be fitted with a lens, it is a unique item that is well-received.

There's still a lot more to come, so I'll keep introducing them!

Well then!
