Titanium When you choose Silhouette you are choosing purity of material and design. Using only first class titanium carefully selected for its high flexibility, antiallergenic and exceptionally light-weight feel, wearers have come to expect only the best in minimalistic design and feel. “The secret lies in the combination of materials and how it is crafted—only when both of these elements are first class, can first class eyewear ensue,” says Rupert Spindelbalker, Director of Research and Development at Silhouette. Each linking rod goes through a liquefaction allowing the materials to blend together so that once cooled, they are permanently bonded. The result is a piece that keeps its shape and is maintenance free. The utmost quality control ensures the wearer gets the most exceptional piece of eyewear. Titan Minimal Art 5300 SPX®+ Comfort is just as important as style and the revolutionary high-tech polymer composite of SPX®+ eyewear is unmatched. These pieces deliver boundless potential in form and design, from ultraelastic to extra firm, and is always comfortable to wear and entirely absent of sharp edges. Lasting twice as strong as acetate—for gentler, lighter design, enhanced functionality and extremely high resistance to scratching and wear SPX®+ facilitates minimalistic functionalism—in the Silhouette tradition of being free of hinges and screws. SPX®+ is elastic and stable—retaining its form even at high temperatures, thereby guaranteeing perfect fit and comfort for all wearers. This commitment to perfection and excellence is why Silhouette has become an indisputable pioneer in crafting eyewear made from high-tech materials. Hidden Heroes When it comes to pulling together the perfect look, it is the details that make the difference. These ’Hidden Heroes’ are found within each piece of Silhouette eyewear.
