Matsuda M1040 BLK

Handcrafted Precision: Matsuda M1040 BLK Black Acetate

The Matsuda M1040 BLK is a masterclass in the art of Japanese eyewear, representing the perfect balance between bold presence and intricate detail. While many luxury brands rely on loud logos, Matsuda focuses on the tactile quality of the materials and the complexity of the construction. Handcrafted in the historic workshops of Sabae, Japan, the M1040 is part of the brand’s “Essential Collection,” designed for the modern individual in Mumbai who seeks a clean, authoritative silhouette without sacrificing the artisanal soul that defines the brand.

The foundation of this frame is the Black Acetate square shape body. This is not standard plastic; Matsuda uses premium Japanese acetate that is cured for an extended period to ensure maximum density and a luster that actually deepens over time. The 54mm square shape is designed with sharp, architectural lines that provide a powerful, masculine look, though it remains a favored unisex choice for its “oversized” intellectual aesthetic. The deep black finish acts as a sophisticated anchor for the frame’s more delicate internal features, making it a perfect match for a business suit in Goregaon (W) or high-end casual wear in Bandra.

A hallmark of the Matsuda M1040 BLK is the hidden artistry within its construction. The 145mm temples feature a transparent inner core that reveals a custom-engraved titanium wire. This internal filigree is inspired by 19th-century gothic architecture, showcasing the meticulous hand-tooling that takes Japanese artisans months to perfect. This ensures that while the frame appears as a classic Black Acetate square shape from a distance, it reveals its complex, high-luxury nature upon closer inspection. The 20mm bridge is ergonomically designed to distribute weight evenly, ensuring all-day comfort even in the heat of a Mumbai afternoon.

The visual experience is defined by the light blue solid lense. These lenses offer a striking “pop” of color against the black frame, providing a cool, retro-modern vibe. Technically, the light blue tint is excellent for reducing glare in moderate light conditions and enhancing contours, which is particularly useful for urban navigation in South Mumbai. These lenses provide 100% UV protection and are treated with Matsuda’s signature back-side anti-reflective coating, which eliminates distracting reflections from behind the lens. When you choose the Matsuda M1040 BLK, you are investing in a frame that requires over 250 manual steps to produce, representing the pinnacle of eyewear engineering and style.
