NOCHINO OPTICAL "KOUGETSU"
KOUGETSU from NOCHINO OPTICAL.
Modern functional beauty with no unnecessary elements.
This is a product that has been refined to its essence. A one-of-a-kind metal frame that shines with quiet individuality and craftsmanship.
NOCHINO OPTICAL brings you the ultimate minimalist metal frame, bringing together the craftsmanship of Sabae, Japan's world-renowned eyewear mecca.
We have completely eliminated decorations such as engraving and arabesque patterns in pursuit of timeless, genderless functional beauty.
All frames are made of titanium, which is lightweight and highly durable.
In particular, the front rim is made of 0.9mm thick titanium, rather than the 1.0mm thickness typically used in Sabae eyeglasses.
This allows for a clean look when viewed from the front while also achieving durability.
The temples are made of beta titanium, which is both flexible and resilient.
The flexible design allows the glasses to fit naturally to the wearer's face, providing a comfortable fit even when worn for long periods of time.
In addition, the spoon-shaped tip of the temples not only looks stylish, but also provides stability and comfort around the ears.
The hinges, which are the key to the frame, are made using the traditional "Warichi" structure, precisely cut from a single piece of metal, giving them the strength and beauty that can only be achieved through handcrafting by skilled craftsmen.
In addition, it features cling pads (adjustable nose arms) and titanium nose pads.
The nose pads are made of allergy-free material, and because they come into direct contact with the skin, they are designed with comfort and safety in mind.
The frame shape is neither Wellington, Boston nor square, but a unique silhouette created by NOCHINO OPTICAL.
The inspiration came from eyewear unearthed at a vintage market in France.
From there, we refined it into a universal shape that suits both Asian facial features and Western bone structures.
The lens size is perfectly balanced, making it ideal for people with severe myopia.
The two-curve lens, which is synonymous with NOCHINO OPTICAL, is neither flat nor a typical curve, but features a beautiful curve and glossy finish.
It expresses the depth and luxury of the hand-carved glass lenses of the past.
