MYKITA

MYKITA opens new shop at

the foot of the Matterhorn

From the city to the slopes: the MYKITA Shop Zermatt is located at an altitude of 1,600 meters, in one of the best-known skiing regions in the Swiss Alps and at the same time in the heart of a bustling town environment. The second MYKITA Shop in Switzerland unites the Berlin-based eyewear specialists’ own aesthetic principles with optical precision. This branch has a particularly strong emphasis on MYKITA MYLON frames: extremely light and practical sports-style frames that make both a perfect companion for the mountains and also a practical everyday accessory.

The MYKITA Shop in Zermatt is a marriage of the modern and the traditional. The display window, with its original wood framing to re-tain the winter resort look, provides an open view of the all-white interior, with a design based on the progressive composition of different elements and contrasting materials. The room was stripped of its wood panelling to leave exposed concrete walls and floors. The steel girders were likewise liberated from their casing and restored to their original condition. The result is a kind of installation with a bold and simple construction that preserves the original character of the space. The primary design element of the shop interior is the MYKITA Wall. It comprises perforated steel angle beads that are reinvented from their regular function as heavy-duty shelving supports. The resulting structure is backlit and serves as a presentation area. Individual metal shelf elements inserted into the wall provide each model with its own little stage. The MYKITA Shop in Zermatt is in addition the first to feature an expansive MYKITA MYLON Wall, bringing the ”future look of sports” to the mountains. The integrated Relaxed Vision Center is a special lab equipped with state-of-the-art precision instruments from Carl Zeiss research. Customers can consult the MYKITA in-house optometrist, who generates customised optical profiles and performs an exact adaptation of the lenses to both the wearer’s eyesight and their facial physiognomy. Quality, precision and products ”made in Germany” are the common themes behind the partnership of MYKITA with the world-renowned optical solutions specialist Zeiss. Zermatt is now home to the ninth MYKITA Shop worldwide – joining Berlin, New York, Paris, Zurich, Vienna, Tokyo, Monterrey (Mexico) and Cartagena (Colombia).

 

 

ToyCruise Metal

ToyWatch: ToyCruise Metal

 

ToyWatch presents its ToyCruise Metal watch, a revisitation of the Cruise collection: drawing its inspiration from the style and charm of the 1960s, it is characterised by a new material, steel, which exalts the softness of the stretch mesh fabric - a new rendition of the braided belt, a cult accessory at the time.

 

Rhythm and a feeling of light heartedness and freedom are the salient traits of this collection made-to-measure for men and women who stand out for their unmistakable style, elegant and yet somewhat irreverent, typical of those years. 

 

The ToyCruise Metal collection includes a watch and a matching necklace: two pieces that for this special new version will also be sold separately, prompting more personal and diversified interpretations of one’s looks.

 

The ToyCruise Metal watch, of linear and essential design, has a 40mm case made from  nickel-free steel that comes in many colour versions: warm gold and pink gold, shiny silver, elegant IP black.  The strap, in a white, black, green or brown braided fabric with leather finishes, creates a refined contrast with the metallic hues, giving rise to 5 models of innate elegance.

 

The ToyCruise Metal necklace is a modern version of the Tibetan Mala, the famous Buddhist rosary, coveted by fashion addicts.

Made of small steel balls, the necklace is entwined by hand with a stretch fabric that makes it suitable for wearing as a bracelet too.

The colour combinations are in counterposition: the beads with the case and the stretch fabric and soft leather with the strap, in perfect harmony with the colour shades of the watches.
