Model Wise by Akoni, the Swiss-based luxury eyewear company, builds upon both the silhouette and the etymology behind the pantos, a classical frame design combining a keyhole bridge, high temples and large, rounded lenses.
The generous proportions of the versatile pantos originally inspired its name, which is derived from the Greek “pantoscopic,” meaning “a broad field of vision.”
According to Akoni, a distinctly open outlook is also an essential component of true wisdom— and the Wise frame is therefore conceived to reflect Akoni’s celebration
of curiosity and understanding of craft, which allow others to appreciate the singular devotion to the perfection of every detail that it says sets it apart. Model Wise features many other special details—including a fresh, flat play on Akoni’s signature knurling pattern, symmetric rivet placements reflecting golden-ratio principles and a distinctive tip to finish off the Japanese titanium temples.
