Cartier 2025 Eyewear: Clash Reinvents the Luxury Frame

The Cartier 2025 eyewear collection marks a bold new stylistic chapter for the House. For the Spring-Summer season, the Clash de Cartier aesthetic enters the world of eyewear. By blending fine jewelry craftsmanship with contemporary design, Cartier offers a modern take on 2025 optical style. Movable studs, pierced gold or platinum metal structures, and tinted lenses—every detail embodies a strong sense of style, crafted to elevate the gaze with unmistakable character.

The Clash Aesthetic Enters Cartier Eyewear

The Clash de Cartier style stands out for its contrast between precise geometry and sensual volume. Originally designed for fine jewelry, this aesthetic now takes shape in eyewear through sculpted gold- or platinum-toned metal frames with no visible rim. Each pair reflects the visual codes of the jewelry collection, notably the iconic movable conical studs—known as picots—seamlessly integrated into the temples. These mobile elements add a unique visual twist and a subtle motion-driven dynamic.

The pierced construction—without a traditional rim—gives the frames a fluid, airy silhouette. Lightly tinted lenses evoke the shimmer of gemstones, while impeccable finishes highlight the House’s artisanal precision. The Cartier logo is discreetly engraved on the temple tips, serving as a subtle mark of authenticity.

By reinterpreting its signature jewelry elements, Cartier transforms eyewear into a true statement piece—crafted for bold looks and design lovers alike.

Jewelry-Inspired Frames with Exceptional Craftsmanship

True to its heritage, Cartier brings the same level of excellence to its frames as it does to its fine jewelry creations. The Clash de Cartier collection stands out for its remarkable assembly precision: each frame is built using pierced metal structures where lenses are set without visible rims. This technical choice ensures both lightness and elegance, while highlighting signature design details.

Iconic jewelry elements—such as the picot conical studs, engineered to move like genuine ornaments—add texture and a tactile dimension to the temples. Paired with polished gold or platinum finishes, they underscore the graphic elegance of the collection. Tinted lenses in luxurious shades—smoky, grey, rose mirror—recall the gemstones dear to the House, creating a harmonious interplay of light, metal, and gaze.

Meticulously designed in every detail, each frame represents the intersection of masterful craftsmanship and modern innovation. A vision of optical luxury where technique, aesthetics, and comfort become one.

Cartier Heritage: A Luxury House Rooted in Tradition and Innovation

Founded in 1847 in Paris by Louis-François Cartier, the House quickly rose to global prominence in the world of fine jewelry and watchmaking. Known for its iconic creations—from the Juste Un Clou bracelet to the Tank watch—Cartier has consistently balanced timeless elegance with a spirit of modernity.

Today, the brand is part of the Swiss luxury group Richemont, alongside other prestigious houses such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and IWC. Being part of this global powerhouse reinforces Cartier’s strength while preserving its creative independence.

Since 2017, the design and distribution of Cartier eyewear have been entrusted to Kering Eyewear, as part of a strategic partnership between Richemont and Kering. This move allows Cartier to benefit from Kering Eyewear’s industrial expertise while ensuring perfect alignment with its high-end positioning. Every frame is crafted to the highest standards of quality, honoring the brand’s artisanal heritage.

With this unique position—bridging historic excellence and controlled innovation—Cartier continues to project its refined vision of luxury, now extending fully into the world of eyewear.
