Why Max Pittion at Visionary Optics?
Max Pittion is a French heritage brand whose frames are handcrafted in Japan using old-world techniques as they were in the 1940s and 1950s. The shapes and colors are drawn directly from the original Pittion archives, built in cotton-based acetate with brass pins, five-barrel hinges, and the brand's signature Massue-style temples.
Several models pair acetate fronts with Japanese titanium temples, finished by legendary craftsmen with details like the custom MAP screw and the stamped MAX PITTION bridge cover. Each frame is named for a figure or place from French history and literature, from Balzac and Dumas to the aviator Roland Garros and the Alpine peak La Grande Casse.
Visionary Optics carries Max Pittion optical frames and sunglasses across our three NYC locations. Visit any of our shops for an in-person fitting, where our opticians can pair your frame with ZEISS precision lenses.
The Visionary Optics Difference
French Heritage, Made in Japan
1940s and 1950s archive shapes built by Japanese craftsmen in cotton-based acetate, with brass pins, five-barrel hinges, and titanium temples on select models.
Carved and Articulated Design
Sculpted bridges, hand-carved rimlines, and triple-riveted brass detailing give each model its bold, unmistakable character. Chosen by only the few who know.
Expert Max Pittion Fitting
Our opticians know the line's acetate and titanium construction and pair each frame with ZEISS lenses, with many styles available for same-day pickup.
