The Anniversary Tips LX does not announce itself with graphics. It speaks in materials. Handmade acetate is drawn into the LX silhouette, its lower frame rendered in deep tortoise shell, its brow and temple tips wrapped in genuine reptile leather.

The temples are 24k brushed gold-plated stainless steel, laser-etched with the 9FIVE mark and finished with a gold 95 set into each tip. The number is the point. Ninety-five pieces, a co-signature between 9FIVE and Arts-Rec, and nothing after.

An arched 9FIVE logo sits on the upper right lens. The Black Pure Polarized lens carries both houses, 9FIVE and Arts-Rec, and full ultraviolet protection. Worn, it reads as heirloom. Held, it reads as intent.
