Does this style aviator bridge make the wearer’s nose look bigger or small?

Does anyone recognize the sunglasses Jeff Bezos is wearing? I have seen similar styles in Masunaga, but I dont recognize that particular model...

I think the glasses look a bit small on his face, so his nose looks bigger, in my opinion...

if anyone has word/suggestions on a minimal pair of circular, gold rimmed frames – preferably in titanium with no standout detailing – please let me know

was previously wearing a vintage pair by the japanese manufacturer amiparis (no connection to the fashion brand) which I unfortunately lost while shopping for groceries and am having a difficult time finding a close replacement

checked out the moscot hamish in person this week but found them a bit theatrical. was not a fan of the pointed bridge

Not totally round, but the Oliver Peoples Altair may be a good option. It's similar to the Coleridge but the Altair is made of titanium.

The brands Masunaga and Matsuda also have a few options for round frames.

Appreciate you.

Was previously deadset on the Matsuda M1019 as a pair I've wanted for awhile now but unfortunately they've been discontinued and the SA never got back to me about seeing if there are any pairs sitting around in a warehouse somewhere.

I tried on the Matusda 10103H at Morgenthal Frederics a couple years ago I think and can't remember what my takeaway was but I still do check them out from time to time. Only just started looking at Masunaga this week and was actually looking at one of their pairs at the time of their comment.

Warby Parker recently introduced the Crowley which is very similar to my old pair in general look but with a few of the details (namely the bridge, temple tips, nose pads) being different enough that I'm not completely sold yet. Strange that it's so hard to find any detail on amiparis.

Would anything from KameManNen work for you?
I really like my 33 from them.

Some of these are exactly in the vein of what I'm looking for. Can you share any details re: your pair?

Well, quality is ace, made in Japan titanium. Fit is comfortable for me as I have a broad upper bridge. Not cheap (in my world anyway) but worth the price of admission.

Those are really nice glasses, and quite an unique bridge. What's the price tag, if you don't mind me asking?

I have googled a bit but got a very broad price range... that's why I am asking.

Just for general information, in Spain Matsuda or Masunaga glasses usually are sold for around 550 to 650 euros, and some opticians will include the lenses in that price (if one is wearing not very pricey prescription lenses like -2 to +2, not progressive lenses of course.. )

They cost 409USD including delivery and and I had the prescription filled locally. Premium price for sure but I’m pretty careful with my stuff and tend not to lose things so it’s worth it for me. I really dig that bridge, very comfortable and not as slippery as I feared, down to good design I suppose.

That's a very good price. I wish that brand had a shop in Spain.

I wanted to ask if anyone owns Mykita frames and whether the frame colour stays or changes in colour or gets damaged in time. The eyewear shop said lenses must be fitted with care because the colour of the frame may go or be scratched if not handled properly and this made me think about whether the colour of the frame stays the same over time or not.

I have Mykita frames for 5+ years and the frame color stays and no damage that I notice.
