Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

The QUENTIN occupies a particularly interesting place within the Johnny Cash by JMM collection.

Rather than simply placing Cash’s name on an existing silhouette, Jacques Marie Mage connected the design directly to the visual history surrounding his celebrated 1969 San Quentin performance. The result is an unmistakably JMM interpretation of mid-century American prison eyewear: heavy, intellectual, slightly severe and beautifully executed. (FRAMED EWE Optical)

Noir 9 may be the quintessential QUENTIN configuration.

Black acetate.
Sterling silver hardware.
Serpent green lenses.
Johnny Cash signature detailing.
Only 400 produced.

Examples are now documented as sold out through multiple retailers, strengthening the appeal of an unworn, all-original example retaining its complete presentation. (フレンチテイストの眼鏡店 ボズュー自由が丘・麻布十番　通信販売サイト)

For the JMM collector, the combination of collaboration provenance, limited production, original lenses and full kit is exactly what matters.
