Until not so long ago, screws were the most annoying part of glasses, wether sunglasses or regular ones. Who has never lost the screws a pin of his glasses? No matter the reason - shock or anything else - these damned screws kept … ruining our lives.

The luckiest ones could find this tiny metal object and, with some chance, fix it by themselves. But if the screw slipped , unfortunately into a drain or under a seat, well…

Thanks god, those days are over. Oko invented a brand new system, included with Moko besicles. An ingenious, innovative, well-designed and patented system, developed by David Beddok, that does not require screws: the a mechanical systemwith no screw, fully configurable with “inserts” with the most beautiful color effect.
Have a look at this short demo, you’ll easily understand what it is all about.

Ready to test screwless glasses? Come and visit us at SILMO, HALL 3 - allée G/66, and you’ll discover the new MOKO by yourself.

« MOKO Besicles » est la nouvelle marque de montures sans vis en acier inox chimiquement découpé, entièrement fabriquée en France et inspirée de la mythologie grecque.

L’acier est un matériau intéressant car subtile à travailler, et qui confère aux montures une légèreté et une souplesse qui, allié à un système mécanique sans vis, mais démontable, apportera satisfaction à tous nos opticiens et porteurs de lunettes.

Les verres se travaillent par un rainnage classique type nylor et ne nécessitent pas de réglages particuliers avec du MR8, Polycarbonate ou Trivex; MOKO a pensé également à tous les types d’amétropies en proposant des inserts en acétate adaptables sur certains modèles et dans divers coloris afin de consentir un montage de verres fragiles ou très fins. Les montures arborent sécurité et stabilité.

MOKO offre également une variété de couleurs à des manchons interchangeables, facilement manipulables qui permettent d’habiller et customiser la monture. Ils sont proposés dans différents formes et matériaux; en silicone, en gomme ou en acétate.

Oko by Oko was born from a little crazy bet. 8 years ago, three friends, opticians, by the taste of challenge, get into the creation of this brand and their collections.

The brand choose and old and authentic neighborhood in the heart of Paris; « Le Marais ». A typical place in where many eyewear manufacturers and glassmakers are still installed.

Passionate by fashion and eyewear, they imagine frames that above all, resemble to them. Their shifted and colored universe creates sensation very quickly on a creator segment, that they want accessible to everybody. Typified frames or more discrete models, Oko by Oko aim and touches all publics, without exception. Young or less young people, it does not matter, which count is to share the same merry philosophy of life. Collections in acetate metal or combined, more than 60 models available today that release authentic joy. This state of mind became very popular in France, Oko by Oko is nearly distributed in 2000 optical shops. The brand turns its glance now abroad and makes a beautiful breakthrough in other countries such as Scandinavia that has already been seduced by this fantasy or Australia, conquered by these exceptional and unusual products.
