  • As proud advocates of well-made and well-designed eyewear, Jacques Marie Mage have had a place on Seen Opticians’ shelves for a while now. Over the last ten years or so they’ve almost singlehandedly changed the luxury eyewear game. The coveting of Japanese craftsmanship, the production of detail-rich pieces interwoven with stories and history, the move towards timeless design - the Hollywood-based brand has been hugely influential.
    Notoriously dedicated, JMM founder Jerome Mage is hard to pin down, but at the end of last year, all the stars aligned and Seen Opticians’ Head Honcho, Tareq managed to sit-down and grab a drink with him. In the half-hour chat, the pair covered a lot of ground, from Paris to Japan to the importance of story in objects to what it takes to create transformative, handcrafted glasses and sunglasses.
    Whether you’re already a fan of JMM or you want to learn more, you’re in for a treat. Watch or read the entire conversation below.

    Absolutely obsessed with the brand. Bought 5 pairs this year. Quality design story telling and the quality is unmatched. Especially the titan models are the best glasses in the word. Upmost respect for this man.

      Wow 😮 it’s probably wise to get them insured since they are almost 1,000 USD each! I own 2 JMM (Fumio & Zephirin) & 2 Matsuda M1028 forgot the other lol. T Henri is also pretty good so is Blake Kuwahara. Both Handcrafted in Japan great for Asian/Low Bridge facial structures.

    There's a color scheme called "Baltic" for Zephirin. Many sources online say Baltic is blue (named after the Baltic sea) while the actual frame is brown. Why is this?

    Very nice Interview, thank you!! It’s so hard to catch the Mystery of Jerome behind the Brand and know we can see him alive like he is and what he thinks!
    For me JMM is uncomparible to and other brand of eyewear and i will hope they can fix their quality Problems on the wirecore elements with Oxidation / fading

      @natureins4644 5 месяцев назад

      @@SeenOpticians To start with, I have 6 JMM frames, mostly in titanium. Further, I'm quite aware of Lucknow and this frame , looking at the JMM website, comes in 2 blacks (one is black fade), one brown and one very dark blue that looks black to me. I can't wear brown or black as I'm so called "cool summer". Lot's of JMM frames tend to be black or brown. Instead I love JMM grey colors like platinum or charcoal or blue/grey like the storm or interesting blues like the indigo . Also I prefer classic frames like Torino, Dealan 53 or Felson. In summary finding those frames in the colors that suit me is challenging due to the fact that majority of releases tend to be slight variations on black or brown.
