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 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.”

A Porsche is one of the most recognizable cars on the road. You always know when you are looking at one. So, it stands to reason that people love them, right? Of course they do. But loving a car and knowing how to drive one are very different. What is it that Ja Rule said in The Fast and the Furious? “We know a few things. And one of the things we knows is, it isn’t how you stand by your car, it is how to drive your car. You better learn that.” How do you learn to drive a Porsche? At the Porsche Track Experience, which has offered programs on everything from a single-day basics class up to a three-day advanced course.

The next evolution of the sports car: Porsche redesigns an icon
City, Car, Transportation

Authenticity. It is what we are looking for nowadays as consumers. Thirty years ago, we looked for brand names. We strived for status and letting all those around us see that what we wore, where we lived, where we dined, and finally, what we drove, symbolized our success in life. Then all of that started to stumble, and every industry felt the recession. Of course, the recession was temporary, but the effects of it were not. What we started to look for after that was something real. We realized that stuff…was just stuff. Now, when I look at cars, or suits, or restaurants, I ask myself: What is this going to make me feel?

That is what the new Porsche Mission S does; it makes me feel like vintage New York and the upstate escape.
