Cutler and Gross / 0005 / White Gold Rhodium 18K

THE AURUM COLLECTION sees the return of archived Cutler and Gross classics, reimagined in finer proportions and with a precious metal finish of 18K Rose Gold, 24K Yellow Gold, Rodium, or a combination of each.  Each detail of construction is obsessed over to deliver maximum performance with minimum weight. Cutler and Gross combine their artisanal approach to frame making with the traditions of the finest jewellery makers in Italy, some of whom have specialized in gold plating techniques for more than a century.
Each piece is considered and minimal in its nature, with lightness and functionality at its core.
Every frame is constructed from an ultra-lightweight Swiss stainless steel alloy which is plated in either 18K Rhodium, 18K Rose Gold, 24K Yellow Gold or a combination of each precious metal. Rhodium being one of the most precious metals, it is extremely resistant and hardwearing with a value almost six times that of gold.
Newly designed temple tips, inscribed with ‘Aurum’ on the inner surface, serve a dual purpose as crucial counterbalances and as a means to identify this collection. Other key design features such as the solid built in end pieces, chiselled with a horizontal line, add refinement and layers of details.
