Telesto
The Akoni // Telesto draws inspiration from Saturn’s moon, embodying a bold yet sophisticated titanium navigator design. Featuring a distinctive double-rim construction, this angular frame is elevated by a textured top bar, contrasting finishes on the hinges and temple tips, and knurled Akoni temples for a refined touch. In its sunglass version, the exclusive Deep Emerald Green lens adds a striking pop of color. Available in two sizes, Telesto merges modern elegance with celestial inspiration, offering a precise fit and commanding visual appeal. Handmade in Japan. Includes Akoni box, case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
