METAL - SPECTACLES

TOKI Eyewear

It's been said that selecting a name is a minor prophecy. In Japanese, the name TOKI has two meanings-time and flight. The concepts of time and flight are both the genesis of and the design inspiration for TOKI Eyewear.

TIME
TOKI interprets time with a measured specificity- sharp straight lines with knife-edged angles and flat planes. The result is distinctively tailored eyewear.

FLIGHT 
A bird glides effortlessly through space in sensual, fluid curves. TOKI interprets this beautiful movement in graceful form and elegant styling.

CRAFT 
Over two hundred hand-manufacturing processes are used in the creation of each TOKI frame. Technical precision and a craftsman's eye for perfection combines with the latest advances in ergonomics, metallurgy and precision engineering.

METAL
TOKI transforms titanium into sculpted metal, which takes on a life of its own. Hypo-allergenic and non-corrosive, TOKI frames are nickel-free, durable and extremely lightweight.

• anium, creates a stunning finish that retains its beauty for years to come.

• Hydrophilic properties form a protective shield from the elements.

• Precious-metal bi-platings accentuate the importance of the design's form and dimensionality.

• The multidimensional surface treatment reflects and refracts light through micro-thin layers to produce a glorious finish.

ACETATE
Multicoloured textures and patterns emerge from hand-milled Italian and Japanese acetate and feature many unique qualities.

• The internal structure creates three-dimensional effects of striation, iridescence and pinstripes while glitter and sparkle cause twinkling patterns.

• Owing to its totally organic nature, acetate absorbs and reflects light with a brilliance unlike any other plastic material.

TECHNOLOGY 

TOKI's precision manufacturing creates high-quality, crisis-free eyewear.

• Rim lock screws made of pure titanium are ceramic-coated to ensure secure placement.

• Monoblock end pieces and spalta hinges are utilized for strength, easy lens mounting and design integrity.

• Critical points are welded--not soldered-to ensure stability.

• Temples are forged by swaging instead of less-reliable casting or stamping.

FIT

Face-forming design and construction result in balanced, sizing and comfort.

• Pre-fit adjustments conform to the wearer's needs.

• Self-adjusting nylon nose pads provide comfort and durability.

• High tensile strength ensures TOKI frames hold their adjustment over long periods.

• TOKI's wide range of shapes and sizes ensures a perfect for every face.

The Masunaga Group Inc. (Fukui, Japan) incorporates American and Japanese traditions and design techniques to create Toki® eyewear. The frames, which combine 100% pure titanium and Italian handmade acetate, are lightweight, durable, and corrosion resistant. In order to create the collection’s beautiful heirloom jewellery/eyewear, elegantly biplated in platinum and pure 24K gold finishes, the company relies on ion plating and handcrafted biplating techniques. The ion plating process utilizes freed ions and bonds precious metal to the surface and sub-structure of a pure titanium frame, creating a tarnish-free
