The Balmain BPS 117C 52, a key piece in the celebrated Wonderboy lineage, is the epitome of “maximalist minimalism.” Designed under the creative direction of Olivier Rousteing, this frame captures the brand’s DNA—combining rock-and-roll rebellion with the precision of Parisian haute couture. Handcrafted in Japan, this model is a favorite for Mumbai’s elite—from the high-profile residents of Pali Hill to the corporate titans of BKC—who demand eyewear that serves as a piece of architectural jewelry.
The centerpiece of this design is the Matte Black Acetate & Metal Square construction. The front is sculpted from premium, high-density Japanese acetate, finished in a non-reflective matte black that provides a velvet-like texture. This is reinforced by an internal titanium skeleton in a dark ruthenium or gold finish, visible through the precision-engineered hinges and bridge. The “Square” silhouette is bold and oversized, providing a powerful, masculine structure that adds instant authority to any face shape.
The visual signature is the Navy blue solid lense. While most black frames utilize grey or green lenses, the navy blue provides a unique, sophisticated depth that pairs perfectly with the matte black frame. These lenses are crafted from high-grade nylon or CR-39, offering exceptional impact resistance and optical clarity. Blue tints are excellent for reducing glare and improving color perception, making them ideal for a sunny afternoon at the Royal Western India Turf Club or a cruise along Marine Drive. They provide 100% UV protection, ensuring your eyes are shielded in absolute luxury.
With a 52mm lens width and a 21mm bridge, the Balmain BPS 117C 52 offers a tailored, high-fashion fit. The 140mm temples are adorned with Balmain’s signature “B” logo and gold-tone hardware, providing a luxurious weight and balance. Every pair is a result of hundreds of manual steps in Japan’s finest workshops, ensuring that the frame is as durable as it is beautiful. When you wear the Balmain BPS 117C 52, you aren’t just wearing sunglasses; you are wearing a statement of global fashion dominance.
