A pair of vintage Longines sunglasses made under licence by the German eyewear house Metzler. The frame is signed "LONGINES Titan by Metzler" on the temple and stamped "4540/4940 021 55□17 135". It is a pale gold titanium full-rim frame with almond/oval lenses. Each outer upper corner has an open double-wire cut-out, the end-pieces have a textured finish and both temples carry the engraved Longines winged hourglass emblem. The dark green-black temple tips carry a small gold winged emblem and are marked "FRAME GERMANY". Solid brown lenses.
Longines was founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Its winged hourglass emblem, registered in 1889, is one of the oldest registered trademarks still in use. In the 1980s and 1990s Longines-branded eyewear was produced in Germany by Metzler. The titanium "Titan" frames were the top of that line.
Pre-owned vintage condition. The frame is straight and the hinges work. There is light wear to the gold finish, light marks and small spots on the lenses, and the clear nose pads have yellowed with age. Please check all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
The sunglasses only (no case or box).
