Hand work on two vintage French machines still essential in my workshop.

The first is a Berger Métral, used to shape and angle the temples.
The second is an Optimex, used to set the opening angle of the frame front for a perfect connection between front and temples.

Traditional craftsmanship behind every frame.

A step from the making process — riveting the frame by hand using an old Marcel Liquot & Fils riveting machine.

Step: shaping the bridge of the frame ( argentique photo)
The front of the frame is gently heated to soften the material. A pneumatic press is then used to push and form the bridge, giving it the desired shape.

In the second photo, the frames are shown cooling down in cold water to set their final form.

I’ve just returned from Morez, where I went to acquire vintage machinery from another era—true pieces of craftsmanship that carry the spirit of traditional eyewear manufacturing.

During this trip, I also made an incredible discovery: old acetate sheets dating back to the 1980s from Mazzucchelli and LAES. These materials are absolutely remarkable—rich in character, history, and aesthetic depth. A true wonder.

I’m also sharing a few examples of tortoiseshell patterns that I was able to acquire—beautiful, timeless textures that perfectly illustrate the uniqueness of these materials.

I’m excited to share that these rare finds will soon be featured in our upcoming collection, to be unveiled at SILMO. Each piece will be released as a numbered edition, emphasizing the uniqueness and rarity of these exceptional materials.
