The story of a 1.8 gram sunglasses He has always believed that no glasses can be made without the use of hinges and screws. It was also felt that no glasses could weigh surprisingly extremely well, incredulous ... 1.8 grams.
But the introduction of Titan Minimal Art glasses in the last decade, an initiative of designer Gerhard Fuchs and Silhouette Eyeglasses, eliminated all these notions.
Gerhard Fuchs began his research in the beginning of the last decade. It would reduce or eliminate the use of hinges and screws in the frames. Certainly, a drastic reduction of weight was on the mind. Accordingly, he, alongwith his research team, came with the first conception of Minimal Art Collection in 1992.
The temples were never hinged sure, however, the lenses were connected by a bridge. He used copper alloy for these glasses very slight.
But the invention of Gerhard Fuchs . soon received a serious shock when consumers complained about the frequency of physical problems. Despite taking it as a failure, the designer began searching for other options.
Much to the surprise, they discovered a unique alloy and super-elastic titanium in Japan. This discovery led to the end of the problem related material, and opened the doors of a new revised version, relatively lightweight, corrosion resistant and durable glasses.
In 1997, the company launched its first series titanium frame. They called it the Titan Next Generation Series. It is available in "temples hinge" model.
Then in 1999, the current model gives way to live without first without hinge and eagerly awaited series titanium frame that weighs only 1.8 grams. The collection has been designated as the Titan Minimal Art.
This new "weightless" phenomenon has been taken by amateurs, both arms stretched wide and forward. So far, the company has sold about 5 million units of Titan Minimal Art glasses. His collection has a range of over 50 colors and shapes.
These glasses and sunglasses to a variation of policyholders. Many of them are celebrities of Hollywood and even NASA astronauts.
Therefore, it is clear that the way the light "range of glass has changed our perception we had about fashion glasses. Certainly, it has established a new standard and reference in the field of innovations glasses.
