Bugatti brings hypercar-inspired eyewear to SILMO Paris 2025

Bugatti debuts Tourbillon-inspired eyewear at SILMO Paris

Bugatti Eyewear's new era of design.
Bugatti

Bugatti is expanding beyond hypercars again—this time with eyewear. At SILMO Paris 2025, the French automaker will unveil its newest collection of glasses and sunglasses, designed with the same mix of engineering and luxury that defines its cars.

The highlight is a titanium frame inspired by the Tourbillon hypercar, alongside rimless and navigator models. There is also a diamond-set collection aimed at serious collectors. With only 100 Tourbillon frames being made, this isn’t just another fashion crossover; it’s a bid to stake out space in the rarefied world of luxury optics.

The collection

The Tourbillon Limited Edition’s 3D-printed titanium frame is shaped after the aerodynamic rear of the hypercar. Each frame ships with a carbon fiber display box and a case modeled after the car’s suspension system.

Other notable entries include the rimless Model 36, Bugatti’s lightest design yet, and the Model 100, a navigator-style frame that utilizes carbon fiber and features finishes in silver, white gold, or 24K gold. For collectors, the new Precious Collection brings Antwerp-set diamonds, gemstones, and custom-faceted lenses into the mix, putting the eyewear firmly in the same ultra-luxury tier as Bugatti’s automotive lineup.

The bigger picture, expanding Bugatti’s luxury brand

The collection also signals Bugatti’s long-term play in lifestyle goods. The company has extended its eyewear partnership with OBI through 2030, ensuring future collections will continue to be part of its strategy. For a brand known mainly for multi-million-dollar hypercars, eyewear offers another way to expand its presence in the luxury space—this time aimed at faces, not garages.txt

Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti Rimac, expressed the stance the company takes with its limited-release products, “In every facet of its design, the Tourbillon embodies the essence of Bugatti: uncompromising precision, sculptural beauty, and daring creativity that defines our new era.”

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series
Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.
