4 minute read
The best moment comes when you turn it in your hands. A seemingly single rim reveals two interlocking circles; one surface shines, the other stays satin-smooth. With the Paris Collection, AHLEM brings the precision of watchmaking to an object you will wear on your face.

Construction
Two rims. A reason to look closer.
AHLEM developed the construction in-house: two steel profiles with opposing V-shaped sections join around the lens. Handcrafting in France continues across the surfaces, alternating polishing and brushing.
The collection uses a 22-karat gold electroplated finish. Tilt the glasses and the rim’s reflections change. It is a detail you can enjoy every morning, and someone sitting close to you can discover gradually.
The OCCHIO selection
Five encounters with Paris
Three shapes, five combinations. Start with the version that catches your eye, then watch how the metal changes along the rim.
Paris 01
Champagne Brushed / Champagne
Champagne brings the rims, bridge and temples together in a warm tone. Polished and brushed surfaces keep the colour consistent as reflections change. Picture it with a white shirt: a gold accent around the eyes you could easily want to wear every day.

Paris 01
Grey Gold Brushed / White Gold
Grey Gold Brushed and White Gold meet in a pale outline with a gentle contrast. Look here if you love cool-toned metals and enjoy details that reveal themselves at close range.

Paris 01
Ruthenium / Rose
Grey Ruthenium allows a fine Rose line to emerge. The meeting of warm and cool makes the frame feel personal. Consider it if you would enjoy finding a hint of rose whenever you catch your reflection.

Paris 03
Grey Gold / Ruthenium
Paris 03 follows faceted sides and softened corners. Ruthenium defines the lenses beside Grey Gold. Start here if you want a fine metal frame with a clearly drawn geometric shape.

Paris 04
Ruthenium / Champagne
On Paris 04, a Champagne circle creates a distinct contrast beside Ruthenium. The roundness makes its presence felt: picture it under a strong brow, or as a soft curve beside more angular features.

The shape you want to see on yourself
Paris 01 and Paris 04 have rounded fronts. The more arched bridge of Paris 01 and the flatter line of Paris 04 change how the circles meet above the nose. Compare their photographs: a small difference can guide your preference.
Paris 03 takes another direction with faceted sides. If you like precisely drawn objects, spend a moment with this frame and look at the corners of its front.
The colour of metal
Choose the metal as you would jewellery
Think of the watch, rings or earrings you wear most often. Champagne can echo a warm tone; Grey Gold and White Gold work with cooler combinations. Ruthenium / Rose adds a subtle variation, Ruthenium / Champagne a stronger contrast.
You can follow an existing palette or introduce a new colour. The finish will sit close to your eyes all day: choose one you would enjoy seeing in the mirror at the end of the evening too.
From the Journal
A small edition for everyday life
AHLEM presents Paris as a limited-edition capsule; for Paris 01, it declares 600 pieces per colour. The pleasure of choosing it carries into familiar gestures: opening the temples, noticing a reflection, recognising your pair on the table. Its story continues in the world of Ahlem Manai-Platt.
