Berwick – Timeless elegance revisited
Some frames go through the decades without losing an ounce of their brilliance. Berwick is the perfect example: born in 1979, this icon of aviation has evolved over time while preserving the essence that made it famous. Today, it is back, revisited to meet contemporary codes while maintaining its original charm.
A design that tells a story
Inspired by classic aviator glasses, Berwick retains the elements that make it unique: a distinctive "key-hole" nose bridge that is both elegant and functional, and carefully cut and arranged acetate slats integrated into the frame. These details, far from being purely decorative, reflect a concern for precision and aesthetic balance.
The Berwick style is at the crossroads of time: it evokes the rigor and boldness of the 1970s, while fully fitting in current trends. It is this duality – heritage and modernity – that makes it such a singular play.
A royal legacy
If Berwick has remained engraved in the collective memory, it is also thanks to the emblematic figures who have carried her. Among them, King Charles III and Princess Diana, two personalities with very distinct styles, but united by a common taste for refined elegance.
On official shots as in more casual moments, the frame has adapted, confirming its status as a versatile piece able to accompany the most sophisticated as well as the simplest looks.
Italian artisanal manufacturing
Each pair of Berwick is handmade in Italy, a country known for the excellence of its eyewear craftsmanship. The cotton acetate used is of first quality, guaranteeing a remarkable resistance and a highly aesthetic finish. This noble material also allows you to play with colors and textures, giving the frame a deep and refined look.
The craftsmen who shape Berwick perpetuate precise gestures: meticulous cutting, manual polishing, millimetric adjustment of the branches and harmonious integration of the hinges. Each step is designed to combine comfort, durability and beauty.
Comfort and visual performance
Aesthetics, however polished they may be, are not enough. Berwick is equipped with high quality optical lenses, ensuring a clear and relaxing vision. The UV protection is total (100% UVA and UVB), making this mount a reliable ally in everyday life, whether in town, by the water or at altitude.
The "key-hole" bridge, beyond its visual appeal, also contributes to comfort by reducing pressure on the nose and ensuring a balanced hold.
More than an accessory, a signature
Porter Berwick is more than adopting a pair of glasses: it’s claiming a style, asserting an identity. Its retro and contemporary look allows it to fit both in a professional wardrobe as well as in a leisure wardrobe. It catches the eye without ever crushing the face, adapting to different body shapes thanks to its balance of proportions.
