André Opticas: Elegance and Sport at the Millennium Estoril Open 2024

André Opticas took centre stage at the 2024 edition of the Millennium Estoril Open, Portugal’s most prestigious tennis event, as an official sponsor. This partnership marked a milestone in the brand’s connection with sport, celebrating the fusion of fashion, performance, and an active lifestyle.

The Smash: A Tribute to Tennis and Style

To commemorate this special occasion, André Opticas unveiled an exclusive eyewear model named The Smash. Inspired by the power and precision of one of tennis’s most iconic moves, this accessory became a visual tribute to the competitive and vibrant spirit of the tournament.

The Smash exemplifies a blend of sporting elegance and a touch of joie de vivre, reflecting the brand’s unique “Family Affair” signature. Crafted from amber acetate, a nod to the terracotta colour of tennis courts, and fitted with Zeiss green lenses, these glasses offer the perfect combination of style, UV protection, and visual clarity.

TVR – True Vintage Revival

TRUE VINTAGE REVIVAL

A piece of soul into a pair of eyewear

There are no rocket science tools or methods used in the making of True Vintage Revival (TVR) eyeglasses. Known as the home to handmade eyeglasses, Sabae, Japan has created a positive impression to connoisseurs of the industry as a breeding land for talented artisans who have developed their skills and an eye for precision that are said to be better than machines. And here’s where every piece of TVR eyeglasses are made.

Using mainly hand tools that are passed down from master to apprentice, most of these museum-worthy pieces carry some of the most prolific history in eyewear evolution. Vintage design features are greatly highlighted in the making of the TVR classics. These include the keyhole-bridge, functional spear rivets, 7-barrel hinges, and miter cut techniques that are boldly executed with the unrivalled skills and technical know-hows. Piece by piece, every one of a TVR eyewear is honed with decades of expertise by selected artisans from Sabae.

Each pair of glasses starts with the “Datum Expression Size” technique, a specialized measurement method commonly used during the 50s in Japan to obtain the subtle balance of the eyewear. TVR also refers to only original templates and blueprints in the creation process of these first-class traditional optical frames. Once the frame takes shape, the craftsmen will begin adjusting every little details with intricate care and precision.

It is easily overlooked that what is now called vintage was once brand new. As TVR continues to bring forth authentic vintage styles with traditional skills, iconic designs and high-quality materials, we are also paving the way for classic vintage eyeglasses to once again be mainstream through true vintage revival.

Design of Perfection

MORÀ BUSOLI stands for highly exclusive products that had never been conceived from a productive point of view so far. Nowadays, in fact, Morà Busoli is the only brand in the world that can realize frames with curved and sinuous shapes by carving solid marble and precious stones.

They achieved it by mixing an ancient handcraftsmanship, as the one of the sculptor, to an innovative technology as the one of the robots and precision engineers. Their history begins with the selection of prestigious and unique materials like every single piece of MORÀ BUSOLI collections.

Every detail comes from the combination of sophisticated technologies and creativity. The harmonic shapes emphasize the design of perfection. The long and meticulous process characterizes the exclusivity of the productions: as many as 193 steps are required to complete one single pair of Morà Busoli spectacle, most of which hand by hand. That makes at least 18 days of work to create a frame no-one else in the world could ever duplicate. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece of eyewear, absolutely unique: as unique as the one who will wear it.

Designed by Patrick Hoet, Morà Busoli is a timeless, 100% made in Italy piece of art.
