TVR / 505 / GREY GRADIENT
The TVR® 505 pays tribute to the 20th-century masters of art, fashion, and architecture with its iconic Panto-shaped design, first introduced in the 1920s. A timeless staple reminiscent of Andy Warhol's signature style, this versatile frame is perfect for both men and women, thanks to its pantoscopic view and rounder shape. Its modern classic look is completed with double diamond rivets from the 1980s, showcasing an exquisite blend of vintage elegance and contemporary appeal. Each piece embodies the artistry of master craftsman Sawada-Yaemon, whose lineage of craftsmanship dates back to the Edo period.
Crafted in small batches to maintain authenticity and artisanal quality, the collection features two sizes, 46mm and 49mm, and incorporates a patented metal core adorned with Japanese engravings of The Dragon in the Cloud. Original 1920s templates and blueprints are used in the creation process, along with rare materials like SPM (Sun Platinum Metal) for the rivets. With 5-barrel hinges detailed with the iconic Kanagawa Wave pattern and a consistent, smooth frame surface, the TVR® 505 is a masterpiece of design, precision, and heritage.
