Precision Meets Quality at Tag Heuer

Tag Heuer has unveiled its new collection built on a holistic approach to visual, technical and aesthetic excellence. At the heart of the collection lies the brand’s signature blend of precision engineering and forward-thinking design. A standout within the lineup, the Jack Heuer series draws inspiration from the brand’s golden era in the 1970s and serves as a modern tribute to the founder’s grandson. This period also coincides with Jack Heuer’s signing of one of Formula 1’s most significant sponsorship agreements with Ferrari. The models in the series feature ultra-light titanium aviator shapes, Chromafade gradient lenses and refined contours reminiscent of classic cockpit instruments. Bio-based temple tips and subtly engraved logo details complete the design with a contemporary touch. Another key pillar of the collection is Shield Pro, which emerges as the performance-driven series. Inspired by the dynamics of high-intensity sports, its mask-style silhouette merges aerodynamics with ergonomic precision. Crafted from sustainable materials, the models offer maximum stability and comfort while delivering a bold and instantly recognizable look. This performance-centric design language merges the brand’s sporting spirit with modern luxury from every angle.

Blackfin Pacific Expands

The Blackfin Pacific Fall/Winter 2025 collection redefines the codes of a still-evolving style; the artistic path of modernity undertaken with the product is expressed as contemporary trend-setting design. While maintaining its stylistic identity, the lines are even more assertive, and the proportions amplified. The thin, ultralight titanium expands into oversize shapes while maintaining the sophisticated personality of the line intact. Here, too, color is the true focal point of an obsession with chromatic exploration that defines the essence of the entire Blackfin Fall/Winter 2025 collection. Two new styles interpret its spirit. Montecito is a unisex frame, a contemporary navigator that features a high bridge and unexpected color pairings – like bright orange and the new hunter green – combined with thin polished or brushed-finish temples. Solana, with its soft, feminine hexagonal shape, is heightened by a color palette that includes the sophisticated velvet brown hue, for added depth and warmth. Also available in sun versions, both Montecito and Solana are enhanced by gradient lenses and brushed gold details that highlight their lines and personality.

Goggles Capsule by Vanni & Nicola Bizzarri

Vanni Eyewear and Nicola Bizzarri have revealed its newest artistic collaboration, the Goggles collection, during Artissima 2025, Turin’s celebrated international contemporary art fair. Presented at Vanni’s Turin showroom in partnership with Fuocherello Gallery, the Goggles collection reflects the brand’s ongoing dialogue between artistic experimentation and eyewear craftsmanship, where each frame becomes both a tool and a statement piece.

Modo Introduces a Distinctive Cat Eye
