Founded in 1969, British luxury eyewear brand Cutler and Gross combines the finest Italian craftsmanship with irrefutably cool style. Since its establishment in fashion’s halcyon days, the brand’s signature creativity has been applied to sunglasses and optical frames with their trademark numbered designs and absence of an ostentatious logo.

For decades, Graham Cutler and Tony Gross’s frames relied, in part, upon their reputation being dripped and whispered within style and fashion circles like verbal quicksilver. Considered bastions of iconic eyewear, Cutler and Gross designs continue to grace many of the most recognisable faces in the worlds of art, design, music and film.

The Kensington 1424 is a study on the balance between strength and lightness. Forged from Japanese titanium with utmost attention to its engineering, this navigator sunglass offers a near-weightless air. The Oyster pin is subtly engrained throughout, even down to the engraved nose pads that act as a secret signature honouring its artisans, without loudly declaring it.
