Authentic, true, unique, MARKUS T glasses are lightweight, durable and 100% handmade in Germany. The company designs and manufactures light and resistant glasses in the unique working atmosphere of a redeveloped cereal distillery in Isselhorst near Gütersloh. Their pure and sober design emphasizes the look of the wearer without turning it into someone else. Each pair of glasses is unique as it is handmade in Eastern Westphalia.
Patented branch hinges without screws
A particular feature of Markus T glasses is the hinge without patented screw, which characterizes each collection : The hinge of the DESIGN Neo collection, for example, which is integrated into the branches and connected to the front by a non-maintenance push-in connection. The result is very functional glasses, which provide many years of comfort and durability over time.
Materials of choice for impeccable quality
The brand works with functional and exclusive materials: TMi and titanium. The TMi is a synthetic material developed and patented only for MARKUS T which combines two seemingly contradictory properties. It is Resistant, retains its shape and is at the same time extremely light. Sunlight? It will not alter the color of the mount. It is also Recyclable and anti-allergenicJust like titanium. The alloy used is of such quality that it is even applied in medical technology. It allows the development of ultra-flat and narrow frames, extremely durable and unbreakable thanks to their elastic properties and the resulting great flexibility.
Patented dyeing processes
Colour is a creative element. The color of a pair of glasses emphasizes individuality who wears it and at the same time showcases the technology and design of the frame. The glasses are coloured by a dyeing process that Markus T developed and patented: Multiple-Step-Colouring (MSC) for high quality titanium and the innovative polyamide dyeing process for TMi – naturally all this is done in Isselhorst, Germany.
The result is natural and matt glasses, whose colours do not lose their original quality over the years. Internal coloring processes allow a very flexible response, depending on customer orders and trends.
Flexible and adjustable, each morphology is different
Their lens mounting technology is as unique as hinges or materials: The corrective lenses are mounted without high tension on the centre, which gives glasses inside frames greater flexibility and durability. Regarding titanium glasses, Markus T abandons screws, which offer little tolerance, and uses nylon fibres instead. The lenses are sealed on the edge of the nose in the ME collection. And what about mounting a pair of finished glasses? It is also a child's play, because The optician can easily adjust the branches in length and width.
A quality awarded with many awards
The manufacturer of glasses was awarded more than 40 times for their design and technology since the company was founded in 1999. The DESIGN/D3 collection, first presented in 2015, received the same year the famous IF gold award as well as the Red Dot Award in the product design category and won the German Design Award in 2016.
Markus Temming does not care about prices, but rather about the best solution and finished design – without any question.
« We work precisely – at all levels – and we love our job. The result is light and comfortable glasses, particularly durable, which convincingly emphasize the character of the wearer thanks to their pure and simple design. »
