Design Philosophy

The KT-432U is a restrained rectangular frame defined by balance, proportion, and quiet strength. Its geometry is deliberate, designed to sit naturally on the face while maintaining a confident horizontal line. Every surface is considered, allowing material and structure to define the frame rather than excess detail.

This is a design rooted in control. Calm in expression, precise in execution.

Craftsmanship & Features

U-Suspension Beta Titanium Hinge System

At the core of the KT-432U is KIO YAMATO’s U-Suspension hinge, engineered from beta titanium for controlled flexibility and long-term stability. Inspired by mechanical suspension principles, the hinge is designed to:

Distribute pressure evenly at the joint
Reduce stress from repeated opening and closing
Maintain alignment over time
Deliver smooth, consistent motion

This system enhances comfort while preserving the frame’s structural integrity through years of wear.

Japanese Titanium Construction

Crafted from Japanese titanium, the frame balances strength with lightness. A matte surface treatment refines the visual presence while improving durability, creating a composed finish that resists wear and reflection.

Refined Temple Architecture

Slim titanium temples extend seamlessly from the front, maintaining visual continuity and balance. Acetate tips provide stability and comfort behind the ear, ensuring a secure fit without pressure.
