Cartier’s eyewear icons continue its evolution with a new Spring-Summer 2025 collection that evokes the Maison’s jewellery and watchmaking through exceptional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
One of the standout features of the season is the introduction of the Clash de Cartier frames, which pay homage to the exquisite techniques of the jewellery collection, and play with the signature studs reminiscent of the hardware elements introduced by Jeanne Toussaint in the 1930s.
The temples of these rimless frames are available in classic and innovative shapes, adorned with intricate ribbed mesh motifs that reimagine Clash de Cartier’s picot studs and clou carrés as a tactile, three-dimensional embellishment.
Another key theme to look out of the is the Santos de Cartier concept with its increasingly elaborate and streamlined designs. Reflecting the iconic watch launched in 1904 in honour of the celebrated aviator, the frames feature pilot and navigator styles enhanced by striking chromatic contrasts and distinctive screw details.
Crafted from thin sheets of metal, the innovative structures are elevated by bilayer front sections and geometric temple tips that mimic the contours of the watch case, while the dual-tone finishes in gold and platinum lend an additional luminous touch.
Influenced by Cartier’s first eyewear designs released in the 1980s, the Première selection is a blend of vintage flair and modern edge showcased across four distinct executions featuring emblematic motifs, such as the godron and C de Cartier, and complemented by metal wire cores engraved with the godron pattern, visible through the temples of the transparent acetate variations.
This range shifts from lightweight acetate styles, enriched with sleek temple tips inspired by the leather goods collection, to combi constructions and notable options featuring special temples sculpted from materials like horn and wood. You’ll also find coloured lenses as well as rimless frames for a stylish look.
Rounding up the collection is the Décor C Classique which channels vintage elegance through modern rimless frames fitted with colourful lenses. Available in either gold or platinum finishes, the rectangular and oval models are finished with finely engraved godron motifs along the temples, further complemented by the Décor C detail on the hinges.
