Story & heritage
The 1392 Round Opticals are grounded in Cutler and Gross’s Beatnik reference: thick-rimmed glasses, cigarette trousers and roll-neck jumpers inform the mood of the frame.
Official product copy positions the 1392 as a perfectly proportioned round optical, carrying vintage flourishes rather than trend-led ornament.
Materials & craft
The official description calls out Oyster and Compass Star pins, two recurring Cutler and Gross hardware signatures that give the clean round front its flash of metal.
As with the house’s core frames, the 1392 sits inside a brand founded in London in 1969 and associated with handmade Italian atelier production.
How to choose & style
Use the 1392 when the face needs a compact intellectual line: knitwear, tailoring and dark denim all reinforce its Beatnik undertone.
Brooklyn Blue keeps the frame graphic without feeling severe; tinted lenses would push it toward a small, vintage sunglass mood.
