Introducing No. 3 from 10 eyevan, a brand born from an uncompromising dedication to a single screw, now with a refined panto shape.
The perfectly proportioned panto shape is characterized by its compactly sculpted lower lens rim. With smooth, unwavering rim lines and other meticulously crafted parts, the result is a modern aesthetic that is never overly classic.
Its understated and sophisticated impression makes it suitable for business settings without feeling out of place, yet it also has enough presence to complement casual styles like T-shirts and jeans.
The natural antique gold color is unique to 10 eyevan, offered as "Old Gold/Gold." The frame is first plated, then partially shaven to create shading. The contrast with the highly polished gold color partially used on the bridge and end pieces ensures that the frame naturally blends with the wearer's face.
Furthermore, not only the frame but also the hinge screws are finished in Old Gold using the same process. This level of dedication is possible precisely because these are original screws made from the same titanium as the frame itself.
The screws used are Torx screws, often found in precision machinery. Torx screws are highly reliable, requiring little force to tighten securely and resisting loosening, making them ideal for eyeglasses as an everyday tool. Titanium Torx screws for eyewear did not exist before, and their development was a catalyst for the birth of 10 eyevan.
The black mother-of-pearl nose pads, chosen to match the frame color, are specially crafted for 10 eyevan at a factory in Nara, famous for producing shell buttons. They are attached with a patented, dedicated hinge designed to resemble an open shell.
The mother-of-pearl nose pads offer exceptional comfort against the skin; the cool sensation upon contact and the nuanced way the pads gradually wear down to conform to the shape of the nose cannot be replicated by other materials. This is another aspect of 10 eyevan's unwavering commitment to quality.
While nose pads carved from mother-of-pearl and attached with hinges are common in vintage eyewear, they are not typical today. The advantages include the aurora-like luster unique to mother-of-pearl and the fact that they are not unnecessarily bulky due to not using screws.
The lens sizes are 45mm and 47mm. 10 eyevan offers multiple sizes for each model, allowing customers to choose not just based on shape preference, but also on what best fits their face and eyes. Original 2-curve lenses are pre-installed. These lenses have a UV cut rate of 99.9%, making them suitable for use as伊達眼鏡 (fashion glasses) as is, and feature the 10 eyevan logo engraved in the corner as proof of their originality.
Additionally, clip-on sunglasses are available as an option for use as sunglasses. By combining these, the eyewear can be used not only as regular glasses but also as sunglasses, making them suitable for a wider range of situations.
This is a modern and refined piece born from a thorough dedication to parts and details and an aesthetic sensibility that is not solely classical. With a rich selection of frame colors and two sizes, you are sure to find the perfect pair.
