The Ultimate Classic Frame, "GMS-999," Reissued


From "MASUNAGA G.M.S.," one of the original brands by Fukui-based long-established eyewear maker Masunaga Optical, comes the reissuance of the "GMS-999," a revival model of glasses that were historically presented to Emperor Showa. An order event is being held at Continuer in Ebisu until January 11, 2016 (Monday).

This is the Only Place to Order This Reissued Model


While cherishing its history of being presented to Emperor Showa in 1933, the "GMS-999" was reissued in 2009 with the intention of manufacturing "the exact design of the presentation piece," rather than a "remake," striving to be as close as possible to the original.

The ultra-thin, elegant solid gold frame possesses a moderate weight and a smooth texture, emitting a deep luster unique to 18-karat gold. Furthermore, the delicate lines, crafted with exquisite technique, ensure a light wearing experience.

With its historical background, premium materials, and minimalist design, it exudes a presence that can be called the ultimate classic frame.

Following this lineage, oval frames such as the "GMS-999AC (with front rim attachment)" and "GMS-999A," with updated modern lens sizes, have also been created.
While based on the "GMS-999," these models feature altered lens sizes and shapes. Additionally, to accommodate the width of the temple rims, the temples have been reshaped with a curve starting from the hinge.

At this reissue order event, four models are available for order: "GMS-999," "GMS-999C (with front rim attachment)," "GMS-999A," and "GMS-999AC (with front rim attachment)." Continuer is the only venue where these models can be ordered. Customization of the featured models is also possible during this event. Those interested should definitely check it out.
