New MODO Eyewear: Why Titanium Temples Make Such a Difference

When you're choosing a new pair of glasses, it's usually the front of the frame that catches your attention first. The colour, shape and how it looks on your face are naturally what we notice.

But sometimes, it's what happens at the side of a frame that makes the biggest difference to how it actually feels to wear.

The latest MODO HD Acetate collection combines beautifully designed acetate fronts with incredibly lightweight beta-titanium temples, creating eyewear that brings together bold colour and style with everyday comfort.

Acetate at the Front, Titanium at the Sides

It's a combination that gives you the best of both worlds. MODO's High-Density Acetate allows the brand to create incredibly refined acetate fronts while retaining the strength and durability needed for everyday eyewear. It also opens up far more possibilities when it comes to colour, from classic Havana and darker tones to much more expressive shades.

Then, rather than continuing that acetate through the sides of the glasses, MODO pairs the frame with slender beta-titanium temples.

The difference when you pick them up is immediately noticeable.

Titanium is renowned within eyewear for being exceptionally lightweight, strong and flexible. That makes it an ideal material for the temples of a frame, helping to reduce unnecessary weight while creating a comfortable fit around the head.

Why Does That Matter?

Think about how long you wear your glasses.

For many of us, they're the first thing we put on in the morning and one of the last things we take off at night. A frame can look fantastic, but if it feels heavy or uncomfortable after several hours, you're quickly going to notice.

Reducing weight through the temples helps create a frame that feels much lighter and less intrusive to wear throughout the day.

The flexibility of beta-titanium also allows the temples to have a little more give than a heavier, rigid construction. The result is eyewear that feels refined and delicate without sacrificing the durability you expect from something you wear every single day.

Lightweight Doesn't Have to Mean Boring

What we particularly like about the new MODO range is that the technical design hasn't come at the expense of personality.

You still get the beautiful colours, interesting shapes and character of an acetate frame at the front. The titanium temples almost disappear at the sides, keeping the overall design clean and allowing the shape and colour around the eyes to do the talking.

It's a very MODO approach to eyewear: remove unnecessary weight, keep the design simple and make every component serve a purpose.

A Frame You Almost Forget You're Wearing

We've always believed that how a pair of glasses feels is every bit as important as how it

looks.

The latest MODO collection is a great example of why the materials used to create your eyewear matter. Combining HD acetate with beta-titanium temples creates frames that can offer the presence and colour of acetate without the weight you'd traditionally associate with a full acetate design.

And once we've paired the right frame with lenses selected specifically for your prescription, measurements and lifestyle, the result can be an incredibly lightweight pair of glasses designed for comfortable everyday wear.

The new MODO collection is available to discover at The Spectacle Factory now.
