Frequently Asked Questions
What is Masunaga MOC?
MOC stands for Masters of Craft. It is the highest tier Masunaga produces, a capsule collection made with materials and techniques the company reserves for this line alone. The standard Masunaga aesthetic is about eliminating waste, but MOC deliberately embraces decoration that would be considered excess for eyewear, executed with the same discipline. Each MOC model is produced as a limited run of 150 pieces worldwide.
What are Masunaga MOC frames made from?
MOC frames combine sterling silver 925 decorative elements with 5-micron gold plating, dual-layer acetate construction, and mineral glass lenses on the sun models. The 5-micron plating is a specification that allows no correction during application, and the custom nose pads are double-layered using four separate molds. Every frame is handmade in Japan by Masunaga, the company that won Japan's first gold prize at the SILMO d'Or.
How much do Masunaga MOC frames cost?
Pricing for Masunaga MOC frames is available on request. Call any of our shops and we will help you choose a frame and arrange your order.
How limited is the Masunaga MOC collection?
Each MOC model is produced in a limited run of 150 pieces worldwide, and the collection is distributed to only about one hundred retailers globally. When a model sells through it is not reissued. That combination of a 150-piece run and a hundred authorized retailers means most stores that carry Masunaga never see MOC at all.
Where can I see Masunaga MOC in New York?
Visionary Optics is the exclusive New York City retailer for Masunaga MOC. We keep MOC at all three of our boutiques, so you can see the collection on the Upper East Side, in Chelsea, or in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and we can transfer a frame between locations on request.
Can I get Masunaga MOC frames with prescription lenses?
Yes. Every MOC optical frame at Visionary Optics can be fit with ZEISS prescription lenses, and most single vision prescriptions are ready the same day. We also fit progressive and specialty lens prescriptions. The sun models use mineral glass lenses, and our opticians can talk you through the options for adding a prescription to those.
