999.9

999.9 (pronounced "Four Nines") was founded in 1995, making it a relatively new brand. It began with a specific objective: creating eyewear for Asian faces. It is now regarded as one of the most design-driven Japanese eyewear companies.

Additionally, Four Nines began reconsidering how eyeglasses are worn while resting on the wearer's head. As a result, the 999.9 spectacles were designed to have no pressure or stress points. According to the company's tagline, "Eyeglasses, pleasant to wear," the resulting frame designs gently wrap around the head.

Every tiny feature of 999.9 is influenced by the emphasis on comfort. For example, nose pads are made to cover a sizable amount of skin. This makes it easier to apply pressure evenly to prevent pain and marks. The company also caters to allergy customers by using silicone and titanium, two antiallergenic materials.

What about the name, then? The quality assurance mark "999.9" can be seen on gold ingots. Four Nines uses only the finest acetate and metal, including its own titanium hinges. Thus, the brand name is appropriate.
