The Gold Hook: Gold Titanium Sunglasses With a Bottle Opener

The Hook is the frame the entire William Painter line is built on, the aerospace-grade titanium pair with a bottle opener machined into the arm. The Gold Hook is that icon finished in gold: the same titanium construction and built-in opener, with a warmer, more striking look. If you want the original that started it all but want it to stand out, this is the pair.

The look

Gold titanium gives The Hook a richer, more distinctive presence while keeping the clean, classic shape that made the original a staple. It is confident without being loud, and the finish pairs as easily with a watch and a jacket as it does with a t-shirt.

The build

Underneath the gold is the real Hook. The frame is aerospace-grade titanium for an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, light on your face and tough in your bag. The lenses are polarized with full UV protection. The bottle opener is built into the temple arm, a working tool rather than a gimmick, and the patented hinge is rated for more than 80,000 cycles. And the whole thing is covered by our lifetime, no-questions-asked warranty. We tested whether that opener actually holds up in do bottle opener sunglasses actually work.

Who it is for

The Gold Hook suits anyone who wants the original William Painter frame with a bit more presence, and gift buyers after a premium, memorable pair that opens a bottle and lasts a lifetime.
