Limited Edition New

or pay with

Marking 55 years since Cutler and Gross first opened in London’s Knightsbridge in 1971, the Knightsbridge 1971 sunglasses stand as a tribute to both heritage and innovation. A symbol of honour, this anniversary edition balances our celebrated British design legacy with the engineered strength, precision, and artistry of Japanese titanium.

Each style is meticulously handcrafted in Sabae, Japan, by artisans whose skills are honed over half a century. This mastery is expressed through an evolution of our storied Oyster pin, seamlessly harmonised in a dual-tone palette of silver and gold. The navigator is distinguished by hand-rolled Oyster pin rim wire, an elongated nose bridge, and a refined brow bar—details underscored by raised gold Oyster pin temple tips, carrying our heritage motif with quiet authority.

Presented in highly limited quantities of only 55 frames, and comes individually finished with its bespoke edition number, ensuring it is not just worn but cherished as a part of our history.

For The Curious, For Fifty-Five
