THE ARTIST III - Mystic Black Madrone

MAYBACH THE ARTIST III P-WEP-Z25 — Platinum / Mystic Black Madrone

Dark exotic wood, luminous Mother-of-Pearl and precious Platinum come together in the MAYBACH THE ARTIST III P-WEP-Z25. This exceptional rimless optical frame reveals more detail the closer you look.

The minimalist front is constructed from lightweight Platinum-Plated Titanium, while the handcrafted temples combine Mystic Black Madrone, Mother-of-Pearl, Ebony, and Karelian Birch Burr backing.

From the front, THE ARTIST III appears refined and understated.

From the side, layers of deep black wood, natural burr figuring, iridescent Mother-of-Pearl and cool platinum transform the frame into a piece of wearable craftsmanship.

Mystic Black Madrone

The defining character of the P-WEP-Z25 comes from its Mystic Black Madrone.

Madrone is valued for its naturally expressive wood grain, which MAYBACH enhances here with a dark, almost mysterious black treatment.

Rather than eliminating the material's natural character, the finish lets subtle grain and tonal variation remain visible beneath the highly polished surface.

The result is more dimensional than conventional black acetate, with natural texture appearing as light moves across the temples.

Genuine Mother-of-Pearl

Genuine Mother-of-Pearl is integrated into the temple construction.

Its naturally iridescent surface can reveal subtle tones of white, silver, cream, and hints of color depending on the lighting and viewing angle.

Against the dark Mystic Black Madrone and Ebony, the Mother-of-Pearl becomes an elegant jewelry-like accent.

It may appear discreet from a distance but becomes increasingly impressive up close.

Karelian Birch Burr Backing

Turn the temples over and another extraordinary natural material is revealed.

The P-WEP-Z25 incorporates Karelian Birch Burr backing, prized for its irregular swirling, clustered, and highly figured natural grain.

Rather than a simple straight wood pattern, Karelian Birch Burr creates intricate formations throughout the material.

Because those patterns form naturally, no two sections of wood are perfectly identical.

Ebony Wood

Deep Ebony adds another layer of contrast to the temples.

Its naturally dark appearance complements the Mystic Black Madrone while visually separating the Mother-of-Pearl from the lighter Karelian Birch Burr.

Together, the four temple elements create an unusually sophisticated material combination:

Mystic Black Madrone for depth and mystery.

Mother-of-Pearl for natural iridescence.

Ebony for rich dark contrast.

Karelian Birch Burr for intricate natural figuring.

Platinum-Plated Titanium

The handcrafted temples are paired with precision-engineered Titanium finished in Platinum plating.

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

The cool silver tone of the Platinum works beautifully with the black woods and Mother-of-Pearl, creating a sophisticated monochromatic palette rather than the warmer appearance of MAYBACH's gold-plated variations.

Seven Layers of Fine Wood

MAYBACH's wooden temples are far more complex than a single piece of carved timber.

The Maison constructs its fine-wood components using seven ultra-fine veneers bonded together into a single structure.

This technique lets the Maison combine different fine woods and decorative materials while maintaining the slim profile required for luxury eyewear.

Selected designs can also incorporate meticulously crafted Mother-of-Pearl inlays, making the material part of the temple itself rather than simply a surface decoration.

Eight Coats of Piano Varnish

The extraordinary depth and shine of MAYBACH's fine-wood temples come from an elaborate finishing process.

The selected wood is finished beneath eight coats of piano varnish.

This produces a deep, polished surface similar to that found on luxury musical instruments and bespoke interiors.

On the P-WEP-Z25, the high-gloss treatment enhances the Mystic Black Madrone while keeping the natural grain and Mother-of-Pearl detailing beneath it visible.

Why We Love This Color

The P-WEP-Z25 is one of THE ARTIST III's most sophisticated darker configurations.

Rather than relying on bright color, it uses texture and material to create interest.

Platinum provides the precious-metal element.

Mystic Black Madrone and Ebony create depth.

Mother-of-Pearl introduces light and iridescence.

Karelian Birch Burr adds natural grain and individuality.

The result is understated at first glance but remarkably elaborate when viewed up close.

Every Pair Has Natural Character

Several materials used in this frame come from nature.

The grain of the Madrone and Karelian Birch Burr will never develop in a perfectly repeating pattern, while Mother-of-Pearl naturally varies in color and iridescence.

That means another P-WEP-Z25 can carry the same reference while still showing subtle differences across its temples.

Those variations are part of the appeal of genuine natural-material eyewear.

Rimless Architecture

THE ARTIST III uses an elegant rimless optical construction.

Rather than surrounding the lenses with a conventional acetate or metal rim, the lenses connect directly to the Platinum-Plated Titanium bridge and side pieces.

This keeps the front of the frame exceptionally clean and lightweight.

From the front: refined and minimal.

From the side: Mystic Black wood, Mother-of-Pearl, a nd natural burr figuring.

Did You Know?

MAYBACH's fine-wood construction combines up to seven ultra-fine veneers, while selected frames incorporate carefully crafted Mother-of-Pearl detailing before receiving multiple layers of piano varnish.

What appears to be a simple polished temple is therefore actually a complex layered construction involving numerous materials and finishing stages.

THE ARTIST III

THE ARTIST III is one of MAYBACH Eyewear's signature rimless optical designs.

Its philosophy is deliberately restrained: keep the lens shape and front architecture clean, then allow the precious-metal bridge and handcrafted temples to provide the personality.

This makes the P-WEP-Z25 particularly interesting.

The frame doesn't immediately reveal how elaborate it is—the craftsmanship becomes apparent when viewed from different angles.
