Masculine and oversized, Hercules bold acetate frame riffs on the powerful silhouettes of the finest luxury watches while channeling the fascinating sleek allure of Italian cinema’s most legendary leading men. Akoni’s craftsmen have expertly sliced through Hercules’ thick frames, in order to slip in the brand’s innovative side shields—offering eye-catching plays on rich texture and color contrasts on both the front and back sides of these sculptural frames. Inspired by the Hercules constellation, the frame’s colors build upon Akoni’s now familiar fascination with the cosmos, with the tones of the dense and luminous Japanese acetate invoking the frozen ice fields and endless deserts of distant celestial bodies.
