Tom Ford FT1044 Bronson Sunglasses
The Tom Ford FT1044 Bronson is far more than a simple pair of sunglasses. It is a frame that has established itself as an essential reference in the world of luxury, worn by men who know what they want and make no compromises on style. Its generous yet structured pilot silhouette gives the face an immediate presence, without ever tipping into excess. It is this subtle balance between boldness and elegance that has made the Bronson one of Tom Ford's most sought-after models.
A pilot frame built for men with character
The pilot shape of the FT1044 Bronson is no coincidence. This iconic silhouette, with its wide lenses gently angled downwards, is renowned for flattering the vast majority of masculine face shapes. It adds definition to longer faces and naturally structures rounder ones. Tom Ford has taken this classic and infused it with his own DNA: bold lines, a premium acetate frame, and the iconic metallic "T" temple tip that is the signature of every creation from the house. This detail — discreet yet immediately recognisable — has become one of the symbols of contemporary luxury in eyewear.
Acetate: a noble material for an exceptional frame
The Tom Ford FT1044 Bronson frame is crafted entirely from high-quality acetate. This material, favoured by the world's greatest eyewear houses, offers a depth of colour and refined finish that other materials simply cannot match. Acetate also ensures excellent everyday comfort: it is lightweight, durable, and moulds pleasantly to each wearer's features. The frame is available in a full-rim finish, lending it that assured and self-confident character so emblematic of Tom Ford eyewear. Every manufacturing detail reflects the level of exacting standards one expects from a premium frame of this calibre.
Lenses that match the frame
The Tom Ford FT1044 Bronson is fitted with lenses offering 100% UV protection, in line with the brand's quality standards. This model features non-polarised lenses that provide effective everyday sun protection. The generous lens dimensions — 60 mm wide, with a 12 mm bridge and 140 mm temples — ensure optimal coverage of the eyes whilst maintaining a natural and comfortable visual experience.
Tom Ford, an American house that has become a global benchmark
Since founding his eponymous house in 2005, Tom Ford has continuously imposed his vision of contemporary American luxury, blending sophistication, sensuality and modernity. His eyewear division, launched shortly thereafter, quickly became one of the most sought-after lines on the market. From celebrities to fashion enthusiasts, Tom Ford eyewear is worn by those who regard their accessories as a true extension of their personality. The FT1044 Bronson perfectly embodies this philosophy: a frame designed for those who refuse to go unnoticed.
