This new phrase, “CHARMANT-MADE,” refers to products that are the result of CHARMANT’s unique manufacturing approach and methods that incorporate novel materials, giving shape to eyeglass comfort.

 

The two rings represented in the CHARMANT logomark are “research and production.” CHARMANT begins with the idea of delivering the ideal set of eyeglasses to each person who needs one. In order to achieve this lofty goal, combining research and production is essential for us.

The purpose of the research division is to develop technologies that will change the future of eyeglasses. The production division that stands alongside it houses skilled personnel who are responsible for design, engineering, and production technologies. These personnel work together to complete advance inspections and increase the precision of engineering data, before continuing on to the start of production. One of CHARMANT’s strengths is its start-to-finish, unified manufacturing process.

This process is the product of 70 years of refinement in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture. This is what it means to be “CHARMANT-MADE.” CHARMANT will continue to walk the path of innovation, now and into the future.

Research into comfort

Research into head shapes in the

pursuit of comfort in eyeglasses

Design

The driving force behind creating a brand

For many years, CHARMANT has pursued a rigorous collection and analysis of data on the head, examining the regional characteristics of areas all over the world, including Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States, as well as gender and age differences. Moreover, the company has also engaged in research in areas including the position of the nose and ears and the associated angles. Using this data, CHARMANT has been able to develop the ultimate in standard models for each region. We deliver comfort in eyeglasses to people all over the world.
As designers, our thoughts roam freely—not just about the form of things, but also about history, culture, and sometimes even the mysteries of the universe. To translate these ideas into designs that move people, and to beautifully realize functions that instinctively delight the moment they are used. Aiming to create a brand that will be cherished for years to come, Charman's designers continue to roam the world of creativity, turning thoughts into form—today and every day.

Production technologies

Advancing processes and technologies

to new levels to deliver high-quality products

quickly and precisely

CHARMANT challenges itself by aiming to achieve a new level of comfort for its products and to develop new materials with complicated forms. Our design ethos grew out of a manufacturing process that pushed us out of our comfort zones of experience. We thoroughly iterate on discussions and verifications together with the design and production technology divisions in order to pursue the creation of advanced design data. The design division serves an important function for the company, having a role akin to the beating heart of manufacturing.
CHARMANT is first and foremost oriented around manufacturing technologies. The company’s production technologies use the design data arrived at through coordination with other divisions to formulate mass-production processes and set costs. At the same time, the company keeps detailed records for staff-hour management, cost management, and processing conditions, with the company managing over 200 internal workflows. Furthermore, CHARMANT at times handles the design and creation of molds and jigs for use with frames that require micron-level precision. Through these operations, CHARMANT serves as a leader by maintaining the quality standard of its products at a high level.

Surface Treatment
(Neo II)

There are various techniques—such as Neo II and Shippo, meticulously hand-painted onto fine frames, as well as dyeing methods in which patterns are drawn by hand. Each piece is enhanced by layers of delicate craftsmanship, applied repeatedly by specialized artisans, resulting in ever greater beauty.

Excellence Titan

A unique material that wraps the head

in gentle comfort, breaking new ground

in the world of eyeglasses

Titanium combines the superior characteristics of strength, a light weight, and durability, and is free of nickel. From here,we seek to achieve greater flexibility, which has heretofore been lacking. CHARMANT partnered with Tohoku University for eight and a half years to arrive at “Excellence Titan,” the ideal material for eyeglasses. This comfort that gently wraps the head is the result of unwavering dedication by the company and its researchers.

Laser micro-joining

Micro-joining technology essential

to realizing Excellence Titan

CHARMANT is an industry leader in the practical application of laser joining technologies for glasses. Before the development of these technologies, the joining strength and materials resulted in good resistance to damage, but the appearance of the materials was unattractive and unsuitable for eyeglasses. CHARMANT participated in a joint development project with Osaka University over a five-year period to perfect its laser micro-joining technologies. Excellence Titan resulted in eyeglass temples that combine an elastic flexibility, a light weight, and beauty.
