The Ulysses spacecraft was the first to orbit the sun and to exit our solar system. And just like its ancient namesake, Homer’s mythological traveler, the craft has experienced an impressively long journey: launched in 1990, it managed to operate successfully for over four times its original projected design life — In fact, the Ulysses still continues its heliocentric orbit today. The name shared by two most legendary explorers strikes us as perfect for Akoni’s latest take on the classic navigator frame. At first glance, it may give a sensation of featherweight lightness, but thanks to the long-lasting strength of the finest Japanese acetate and titanium, the Ulysses is well prepared for epic voyages. A masterly sculpted duo of acetate front sections — each topped with a striking floating titanium frame — is joined together by the sleekest of brow bars, embellished with an unexpected addition of our knurling pattern, an Akoni signature, which has migrated from its traditional placement on the temple.

About Akoni

Akoni Eyewear sets a new benchmark in precision optical design—where Swiss engineering meets the revered craftsmanship of Japan. Minimalist in form but complex in construction, each frame is a study in balance, proportion, and intent.

Crafted from aerospace-grade titanium and rich Japanese acetate, Akoni’s designs are defined by their refined restraint and technical sophistication. Custom-engineered hinges, modular titanium nose pads, and sculpted temple cores offer superior comfort and structural integrity—details that speak not loudly, but intelligently.

Rooted in a philosophy of quiet power, Akoni Eyewear appeals to thinkers, creatives, and modernists who seek more than ornamentation. These are frames with presence, not flash—pieces that reward close inspection and reflect a deep appreciation for design integrity.

Gazal Eyecare is proud to offer a curated selection of Akoni optical and sun styles, each chosen for its architectural elegance and lasting craftsmanship. As one of the most respected independent eyewear brands today, Akoni delivers luxury Swiss eyewear for those who value precision over trend.
