The new Cartier Eyewear Collection celebrates the Maison's timeless codes and intricate craftsmanship through a modern combination of ease and sophistication. The vision of contemporary elegance is expanded towards fresh and yet unexplored dimensions, showcasing a diverse range of styles from classic to daring, all enriched with exquisite embellishments and executed with exacting savoir-faire. As with last season, the collection includes an exclusive limited edition dedicated to the Trinity 100th Anniversary, revealing an oversized metal frame with square profiles adorned with a ring-shaped Trinity ornament and Cartier's distinctive triple finish in rose gold, yellow gold and platinum.
The Panthère de Cartier concept elevates the alluring beauty of the iconic feline inspired by the Maison's high jewelry pieces. Acetate frames evoke the brand's leather goods collection, gracing the C- shaped panther detail with a golden finish or the latest newly introduced platinum finish and black enamel accents. The feline silhouette runs along sinuous metal temples enriched with a bi-dimensional head on the end pieces and tail on the temple tips. An oversized sunglass shape completes the offering with a soft geometric configuration in mixed materials and a faceted panther head placed on the front angles.
The Première de Cartier universe revisits the original spirit of the first Première collection released in the ‘80s. The combi styles in dense acetate exude a fresh attitude, while lightweight metal is re- signified with enamel accents and subtle godron motifs paired with the C de Cartier emblem, the Double C logo, and the Cartier-engraved plaque. Colored lenses and luminous finishes lend a vibrant twist to these everyday essentials envisioned for all types of consumers.
Inspired by the legendary Santos watch created in 1904, the Santos de Cartier theme presents bold bilayer constructions, sleek silhouettes with temples in noble materials, and titanium and beta-titanium structures focused on comfort and flexibility. The signature screw details emphasize a rich narrative of chromatic variations and contrasting effects, playing with different metal finishes, unique horn shades, and new poplar wood coloring.
The Signature C De Cartier line is as respectful of the Maison’s rich tradition as it is edgy and innovative in its reinterpretation of vintage allure, expressed in a rimless rectangular shape enriched with the exquisite C Décor detail as an instant reference to Cartier’s iconic jewellery pieces.
