After another four years of mounting anticipation, the Winter Olympic Games are just on the horizon.

Akoni, the Swiss luxury eyewear manufacturer, celebrates the advent with its newest Altitude Series. The collection pays tribute to the summit of athletic performance and competition at the Olympics as well as the majesty of life on the mountain.

Expertly crafted in collaboration with Eyetech, Akoni’s iconic frames — Hercules, Phoenix, and Spitzer — are repurposed with a wintry touch to serve on the windiest of slopes and most relaxed après-ski occasions. All of the silhouettes are expertly designed with prescription-grade and polarized lenses, two of which are spruced up with a mirror finish. Colors of emerald, shining brown and baby blue tint the lenses and evoke the images of fresh powder coating mountains under bluebird skies. t

The crystal-clear frames contrast the distinct lenses and reflect the purity of ice on the slopes. This theme extends to even the packaging — featuring a slick sleeve and card — enhancing the experience and continuing to reveal parallels to the elevated nature of the Olympics.
