Blackfin announces the launch of Prometheus, a titanium masterpiece with an iconic, futuristic design that redefines the boundaries between technical innovation and fine Italian craftsmanship, inaugurating a new dimension in sophisticated elegance. These new limited edition sunglasses take their name from the Titan of Greek mythology who provoked the gods by giving fire to humanity, a symbol of courage and determination that perfectly embodies the Blackfin philosophy: to lead the way and redefine the concept of contemporary luxury.
Prometheus is the product of decades of experience, cutting-edge research and experimentation with titanium, the material that has consistently defined the Blackfin identity. Sculpted from a single block of titanium, the front is milled three-dimensionally with state-of-the-art micrometric precision. The aluminum rims are completely milled-from-solid and their depth lends three-dimensionality and solidity to the overall design, forming a flawless union with the front.
Each surface is hand-polished to enhance the details to the max. The Obsidian Black Gold finish, achieved through Blackfin Nano-Plating™ technology, is applied to the upper part of the front, creating elegant contrast with the matte black of the lower portion. Made of transparent acetate – a first for the brand – the temple tips reveal the ultra-thin titanium internal core, whose technical/mechanical design emphasizes the precision and engineering behind this concept. To underscore its exclusivity, each pair bears the limited edition series number and is enhanced by laser marks in gold finish.The sunglasses are available in two sophisticated color combinations: Obsidian Black Gold, Shiny Silver details, Emerald Haze lenses; and Obsidian Black Gold, Shiny Silver details, Sapphire Haze lenses.
Prometheus is the product of the talent and dedication of the people who created it. Crafted in limited edition, in just 250 exemplars for each color combination, every pair is accompanied by exclusive packaging and a numbered card with the signatures of those who contributed to its creation. An expression that makes each pair unique, one-of-a-kind and authentically human.
With Prometheus, Blackfin not only celebrates technical perfection and the excellence of Italian design. It celebrates a vision: that of those who look beyond, transforming every detail into art. A vision that finds its deeper meaning in the brand’s payoff: Looking beyond. Always.
