Cartier presents its Spring/Summer 2026 Eyewear Collection as a continued celebration of the Maison’s singular design codes with innovative constructions, and a profound dialogue with its iconic jewelry and watchmaking heritage across sunglasses and optical styles.
The Clash de Cartier selection advances with a refined aesthetic that, more than ever, embodies the duality between refinement and eccentricity, the classic and avant-garde, at the heart of the collection. The signature Picot stud is reimagined as a lighter mobile hinge detail, crafted in different sizes to infuse movement to versatile shapes from modern ovals to oversized squares and classic optical frames. These new styles echo the fluid movement and silhouette of the jewelry collection and are enhanced by metal finishes and the Cartier signature on the temple tips.
Première de Cartier reasserts its heritage with an expanded design vocabulary, integrating the Godron and Signature C motifs across acetate, metal, and wood executions. Thick beveled lenses, transparent acetate cores, and new wood combinations with tone-on-tone lens pairings enrich the collection with refined material play. Each construction highlights Cartier’s attention to detail and connection to its archival inspirations, with final touches such as temple medallions or vintage-style logo tags.
In the Santos de Cartier collection, a pioneering spirit of innovation comes to the forefront with a completely new titanium construction, echoing the legacy of the Santos de Cartier watch—created to redefine functionality through design. This new execution introduces distinctive shapes, such as navigators and squared optical frames, crafted in lightweight titanium for enhanced comfort and flexibility. Faceted three-dimensional hinge blocks and the iconic Santos screws on the front and temples mirror the defining aesthetic language of the watch, combining technical performance with distinctive Cartier codes.
In the Panthère de Cartier line, the emblematic feline is rendered as a sculptural force. New metal and combi constructions incorporate three- and bi-dimensional interpretations of the panther’s silhouette, elegantly wrapping the front or running along the temples. Hand-applied enamel spots and tail- inspired tips lend each piece dynamic energy and an unmistakable identity.
Cartier continues to honour its signature codes through the Décor C Classique series. Rimless metal frames are enriched with Godron motifs and the historic Décor C detail at the hinge, merging technical finesse with stylistic restraint. Comfort is ensured through acetate tips engraved with the Maison’s emblem.
The Signature C de Cartier line offers an understated take on elegance through lightweight titanium constructions. Sophisticated full-rim geometries are enhanced with C-shaped bridges, Godron detailing, and subtle engravings referencing the Maison’s leather goods tradition, expressed in the refined form of the temple tips.
