Jacques Marie Mage – Kaine in Solaris

The Jacques Marie Mage Kaine in Solaris is a distinctive JMM design, originally released in Summer 2021. Beautifully beveled and impossibly dapper, this rectangular silhouette returns for the Photochromic Collection with a dynamic new character. Limited to only 200 pieces, the Kaine combines sculptural acetate, refined metal details and responsive photochromic lenses.

Vision

The Kaine features a sophisticated wide rectangular silhouette with beautifully sculpted bevels. Its 10mm cured cellulose acetate construction creates a confident yet elegant presence. Here, the Solaris colourway combines polished whiskey acetate with custom double-laminated temples. Clear beige exteriors meet whiskey crystal interiors, creating a subtle contrast that changes beautifully with the light.

Meanwhile, the Kaine is fitted with Armorlite 4-base photochromic orange lenses. These specialized lenses respond naturally to changing light conditions. Outdoors, ultraviolet rays activate the lenses and deepen their orange tint. Indoors, they gradually return to a lighter shade.

Therefore, the Kaine offers a versatile visual experience throughout the day. The lenses also provide 100% UVA and UVB protection while filtering blue-violet light. In addition, their backside anti-reflective treatment enhances visual comfort.

Crafted to perfection

The Kaine combines refined construction with distinctive JMM details. Signature arrowhead front pins, finished in 18K Dark Gold, bring a recognizable touch to the front. Furthermore, exposed Snaketail wirecores feature refined hairline details and matching Dark Gold finishing.

Custom 7-barrel hinges provide a precise and durable construction. Meanwhile, spur-shaped rivetheads complete the temples with another subtle signature. Finally, inner-temple hallmarks in Gold foil add a discreet finishing detail.

As a result, every element contributes to the Kaine’s sophisticated character. The warm acetate and Dark Gold hardware create a harmonious combination inspired by JMM’s distinctive design language.

Limited production batch

Only 200 pieces of the Jacques Marie Mage Kaine in Solaris have been produced. This limited edition therefore offers a rare interpretation of the Kaine within the innovative Photochromic Collection.

Packaging

The Kaine comes in a Bordeaux Empire silk-wrapped monograph box set. It includes a custom leather eyewear case handcrafted in Italy and an oversized microfiber cleaning cloth. A letterpress authenticity card also accompanies the frame, featuring craftsmen’s signatures and a handwritten serial number.

A refined evolution of a JMM classic, the Jacques Marie Mage Kaine in Solaris combines sculptural acetate, Dark Gold details and responsive photochromic technology. With its warm whiskey tones and orange lenses, this limited edition brings a distinctive new dimension to everyday luxury eyewear.
