MASUNAGA "St MARKS" This salmon is the best.

There are now less than two months left in 2025.
It's about time for this year's "the thing" to be decided.

That's right. It's that.
"Thermalt Award 2025"

The honorable model may finally have been decided.
Let's get right to it.

Ta-da!

BRAND: MASUNAGA since 1905
MODEL: St MARKS

How about it?
Isn't it great?

An authentic square Thermont.
No wasted details, nothing to complain about.
"Undeniably cool"
That's the kind of phrase that naturally comes to mind when you see this design.

What's more, it's made by the long-established Masunaga.
Made entirely of titanium, the quality is on another level.
The lightness of the front and the sharpness of the molding are simply exquisite.

The size is 49◻︎21.
Not too big, not too small – a "classic balance".
This balance is becoming quite rare recently, so for those who have been looking for it, this is truly great news.
It's finally here.
Thank you for waiting, everyone.

And now for the main topic.

"These glasses aren't just about the design."

First, take a look at these photos.

What do you think?

If you're a glasses enthusiast, have you noticed it already?

That's right.
The way the brow part is attached is quite unique.

Normally, it's common to "screw it in from the back",
but this model has a "structure where the parts are fitted from below".

This not only makes it lighter,
but above all, the "three-layer structure" when viewed from directly above is incredibly cool.
This composition is a true aesthetic masterpiece.

Furthermore, this brow part.
If you look closely, you'll see it has a considerably three-dimensional shape.
And applying a matte finish further accentuates its three-dimensionality.
They've meticulously crafted even the smallest details, the kind that might make you think, "Who would even notice that?"
It's truly amazing. No, it's truly amazing.

Despite being stylish as glasses,
the way they subtly incorporate such meticulous attention to detail
shows the "understated elegance characteristic of Japanese brands".

But it would be a shame if that understated elegance wasn't conveyed, so
I'm going to say this loud and clear:

These glasses are absolutely excellent.
