Genesis
The Akoni - Genesis is built on a paradox its designers describe plainly: there is an art in making something so sophisticated appear so minimal. The thin, many-leveled lines of this rectangular frame are exceptionally difficult to achieve in titanium, and the restraint conceals a great amount of embellishment and masterful technical solution. Lightweight yet bold, sleek yet multi-faceted—the Genesis rewards the second look that Akoni designs for. Designed in Switzerland, handmade by Japanese master craftsmen. Handmade in Japan. Includes Akoni box, case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Pupil Distance
One last step before checkout
Pupil distance (PD) is the distance in millimeters between the centers of your pupils. It's used to align the optical center of your lenses with your eyes. Most adults have a PD between 54–74 mm. You can find it on your prescription or ask your eye doctor.
Measure Your PD
We recommend using the EyeMeasure app for accurate results
Use your iPhone's TrueDepth camera to measure your pupil distance in seconds. It's the same technology used by opticians.
