The fit is excellent, and looks great. Have u tried them out in the sun? Believe even lightly tinted, it still blocks out UV rays, which is still protective on the eyes. But if still causes u to squint in sunlight, then change lenses. But the frame is spot on

Hi there,

thanks for writing. Yes, I've tried them out in the sun and the lens works, but I still ordered new polarized lenses with a darker tint. I'll mainly use them for sailing so I prefer a darker tint. Considering this Lesca instead to have a lighter lens pair for late-afternoon aperitivo time though:

I love those Lescas on you. The bridge shape has never worked for my nose at all but I've considered getting titanium nose pads installed on a pair so I can wear them. Is that the Pica?

Thank you for your kind words and my apologies for commenting on a frame that is not JMM here. The model is the Crown Panto 8mm, a "limited" edition in rootbeer on blush with blue.

Has anyone picked up the Balzac yet? Surprised I haven't seen any pics here.
JMM quoted my retailer saying they might deliver at the end of the month or August next year. Don't know how they keep up with production when they constantly introduce new frames and etc but the stuff from last collection doesn't arrive yet. Especially since part 1 of the Summer collection is due in stores next month.

These are fine. IMO, you can go bigger.

JMM has a crown panto model that is a bit bigger and very nicely done for such a classic shape. The model is called Rivoli and is maybe from 2020 or 2021.

You can find it with some effort. It comes in Hickory, Vintage Tort, and a couple of other colors.

Thank you. I just took a look to that frame and looks very nice indeed (I just find it as optical), particularly in the hickory colour. Now I am wondering if there is worth to pay double price for a remake of a classical shape that is available in other brands.
