THE ARTIST III - Karelian Birch Burr

MAYBACH THE ARTIST III G-WCH-Z25 — 24K Gold / Karelian Birch Burr

Rare Karelian Birch Burr meets precious 24K gold in the MAYBACH THE ARTIST III G-WCH-Z25, a sophisticated rimless optical frame handcrafted in Germany for those who appreciate exceptional materials and understated luxury.

The minimalist front is constructed from lightweight 24K Gold-Plated Titanium, while the temples are handcrafted from richly figured Karelian Birch Burr with contrasting Ebony Wood backing.

From the front, THE ARTIST III appears exceptionally clean and refined.

Turn the frame to the side, and the intricate Birch grain, deep Ebony, and polished gold reveal the true craftsmanship behind the design.

Karelian Birch Burr

The defining material of the G-WCH-Z25 is its beautifully figured Karelian Birch Burr.

Unlike conventional straight-grained wood, burr wood develops dense swirls, clusters, and irregular natural patterns throughout its surface.

This intricate figuring gives the temples considerably more visual depth than ordinary wood or acetate.

The lighter natural coloring of the Karelian Birch also pairs beautifully with the warm 24K Gold-Plated Titanium.

Every Pair Has Natural Character

Natural wood doesn't develop a perfectly repeating grain.

The precise arrangement of swirls, figuring, and tonal variation within the Karelian Birch will naturally differ from one piece to another.

That means another G-WCH-Z25 may carry the same model and color reference while still showing subtle differences throughout its temples.

Those variations are part of the appeal of genuine fine-wood eyewear.

Ebony Wood Backing

MAYBACH pairs the lighter Karelian Birch Burr with deep Ebony Wood.

Ebony's nearly black tone creates dramatic contrast against the more expressive Birch grain.

From the exterior, the Karelian Birch becomes the focal point.

From the reverse, Ebony creates a darker, more understated look.

Combined with the gold hardware, the frame changes character depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

24K Gold-Plated Titanium

The fine-wood temples are paired with precision-engineered Titanium finished in 24K Gold plating.

Titanium provides exceptional strength while remaining remarkably lightweight, making it ideally suited to THE ARTIST III's delicate rimless architecture.

The gold finish complements the naturally warm wood tones while giving the bridge, hinges, and side pieces the appearance of fine jewelry.

Seven Layers of Fine Wood

MAYBACH's wood temples are much more sophisticated than simply cutting a temple from a solid piece of timber.

The fine-wood components are constructed from seven ultra-fine veneers bonded together into a single structure.

This process allows the temples to maintain a slim profile while combining strength with the visual character of genuine wood.

Eight Coats of Piano Varnish

The extraordinary polish of MAYBACH's wood temples comes from a detailed finishing process.

The selected woods are finished with eight coats of piano varnish, creating a deep, high-gloss surface similar to the finish found on luxury musical instruments and bespoke interiors.

On the G-WCH-Z25, this treatment brings out the intricate figuring of the Karelian Birch Burr while giving the temples a smooth, highly refined finish.

Why We Love This Color

The G-WCH-Z25 is one of the most timeless combinations within THE ARTIST III collection.

It brings together:

24K Gold for precious-metal refinement.

Karelian Birch Burr for intricate natural grain.

Ebony Wood for deep contrast.

Rimless Architecture for an understated front profile.

The result feels luxurious without needing bold color or oversized branding.

Rimless Architecture

THE ARTIST III uses an elegant rimless optical construction.

Rather than surrounding the lenses with conventional acetate or metal rims, the prescription lenses connect directly to the gold-plated bridge and side pieces.

This keeps the front visually light while letting the handcrafted temples become the primary design feature.

From the front: minimal.

From the side: natural Birch, Ebony, and 24K Gold.

ZEISS Demo Lenses

The G-WCH-Z25 is supplied with ZEISS CRX clear demo lenses using a 5-base design.

As an optical frame, THE ARTIST III is intended to be customized with the wearer's prescription.

At Deziner Eyecare, you can pair the frame with premium single-vision, progressive, and specialty prescription lenses, along with advanced anti-reflective and other premium lens treatments.

Did You Know?

Karelian Birch is prized specifically for its unusual natural figuring.

Rather than displaying a simple straight grain, highly figured sections can develop complex curls, clusters, and irregular markings.

For luxury applications, these natural irregularities are desirable because they ensure the finished material does not look mass-produced.

Understated MAYBACH Branding

THE ARTIST III does not rely on oversized exterior logos to communicate luxury.

Instead, MAYBACH integrates its branding elegantly into the handcrafted temple, letting the precious-metal finish and natural wood remain the focus.
