Andre – The Compact Round Frame That Wears Its Confidence Quietly
There is a particular kind of confidence that does not announce itself. It is worn, not performed. Andre by WEISS OPTIX is built for exactly that register. A compact 47mm round frame in striped acetate with hand-finished titanium temples — the frame that communicates everything it needs to in a single glance, then gets out of the way.
Quiet confidence, worn in a single glance. That is the brief Andre was designed to fulfill. It fulfills it completely.
The Striped Acetate Front: A Material That Earns Attention
Andre’s front frame is constructed from striped premium acetate — a material choice that rewards the closer look. The striped pattern is not printed or applied; it is inherent to the acetate itself, shifting in depth and luminosity as the light angle changes. In direct light, the stripes read with clarity and warmth. In softer light, they recede into a more unified, textured tone. The frame looks different at 10am than it does at 6pm, and both versions are worth wearing.
The 47mm compact round silhouette keeps the proportions considered and precise — a frame that sits within the face rather than dominating it, and communicates its vintage sensibility without effort.
Hand-Finished Titanium Temples: The Modern Counterpoint
The temples are constructed from hand-finished titanium — slender, precise, and processed to a finish that contrasts deliberately with the warmth of the acetate front. Where the acetate reads as vintage and tactile, the titanium reads as contemporary and refined. The transition between the two materials is the frame’s most considered moment: the point where two different design languages meet and agree.
The full frame weighs 14g. For a frame worn across a full working day — commute, screen time, meetings, evening — that weight is the difference between a frame you notice and one you forget. Andre is designed to be forgotten in the best possible way.
Built for a Wide Range of Wearers
Andre is a wide-format frame (PD range 54–78mm) with an RX compatibility that spans -20.00 to +10.00 — one of the broadest prescription ranges available in this silhouette category. High myopia, high hyperopia, progressive lenses: Andre accommodates the full range without compromising the frame’s proportions or aesthetic.
The genderless design means Andre belongs to whoever chooses it. The compact round silhouette suits oval, heart-shaped, and longer faces particularly well — adding horizontal presence and softening vertical length without effort.
Lens Options: Function Across Every Environment
Andre supports a full range of lens customizations — blue-light blocking for extended screen work, photochromic lenses that transition automatically between indoor and outdoor environments, anti-glare driving lenses, and progressive multifocal options. The frame’s versatility extends to its optics: whatever the environment requires, Andre can be configured to meet it.
Where Andre Belongs
Andre carries the Daily Essentials designation because the 14g hybrid construction makes it genuinely practical for all-day wear without fatigue. It moves between contexts without adjustment — equally at home with a tailored jacket on a Monday and a linen shirt on a Saturday. The striped acetate gives it enough visual interest to function as a wardrobe focal point; the compact proportions keep it from overreaching.
For those who spend long hours in front of screens, the blue-light blocking configuration extends its practical range. For those who move between indoor and outdoor environments, the photochromic option eliminates the need for a second pair entirely.
