THE ARTIST SUN I - Karelian Birch Burr

MAYBACH THE ARTIST SUN I G-WCH-M09 — 24K Gold / Karelian Birch Burr

Rare wood, precious metal, and German craftsmanship define the MAYBACH THE ARTIST SUN I G-WCH-M09, an extraordinary rimless sunglasses designed more like a piece of fine jewelry than conventional eyewear.

The minimalist front is constructed from lightweight 24K Gold-Plated Titanium, creating an elegant foundation for the frame's true centerpiece: beautifully handcrafted Karelian Birch Burr temples with contrasting Ebony backing.

Finished with subtle Light Bronze Gradient ZEISS lenses, the entire frame combines warm gold, richly figured natural wood and soft bronze tones into one sophisticated composition.

Rare Karelian Birch Burr

The defining material of the G-WCH-M09 is Karelian Birch Burr, a distinctive figured wood prized for its unusually complex natural pattern.

Rather than the straight grain of conventional wood, Karelian Birch Burr develops intricate clusters, swirls, and contrasting markings across its surface.

Every section of wood develops differently.

That means the natural pattern running through your pair of THE ARTIST SUN will never be perfectly identical to another pair—even when both carry the same G-WCH-M09 reference.

Seven Layers of Fine Wood

These temples hide far more engineering than meets the eye.

MAYBACH constructs its fine-wood components by bonding seven ultra-fine veneers into a single piece.

The selected wood is then meticulously finished beneath multiple layers of high-gloss piano lacquer, helping create the remarkable depth and polished surface visible throughout the temples.

This process lets MAYBACH preserve the natural grain of the Karelian Birch while delivering the refined finish expected of ultra-luxury eyewear.

Ebony Backing

Turn the frame over, and the character changes again.

The highly figured Karelian Birch Burr is contrasted with deep Ebony backing, creating a dramatic transition between light and dark natural woods.

From the exterior, the intricate Birch grain catches the eye.

From the interior, rich Ebony introduces a darker, more understated finish.

Combined with 24K Gold detailing, the layered wood construction gives the frame a depth conventional acetate can't match.

24K Gold-Plated Titanium

The wooden temples are paired with an ultra-light titanium structure finished in 24K Gold plating.

Titanium provides exceptional strength while remaining remarkably lightweight, making it particularly well suited to a sophisticated rimless frame such as THE ARTIST SUN I.

The genuine gold-toned finish complements the naturally warm coloring of the Karelian Birch and Light Bronze lenses, giving the entire frame a jewelry-inspired appearance.

ZEISS Custom Light Bronze Gradient Lenses

The G-WCH-M09 is completed with sophisticated Light Bronze Gradient lenses by ZEISS.

Using a 5-base custom lens design, the bronze tint transitions softly through the lens rather than using a single uniform dark color.

The lighter treatment allows the sculptural shape and gold detailing of THE ARTIST SUN I to remain visible while adding an elegant warm tint that complements both the natural wood and 24K Gold.

The MAYBACH Signature on the Lens

THE ARTIST SUN collection includes another detail that can easily be missed from a distance.

The custom sun lenses carry the MAYBACH logo directly on the lens, adding a subtle finishing signature without disrupting the frame's minimalist rimless architecture.

Rather than relying on oversized exterior logos, MAYBACH lets the materials and craftsmanship define the frame's identity.

Why We Love This Color

The G-WCH-M09 is one of THE ARTIST SUN I's warmest and most sophisticated combinations.

Instead of creating contrast through bold colors, MAYBACH keeps every component within a complementary palette:

24K Gold provides the jewelry element.

Karelian Birch Burr adds intricate natural texture.

Ebony introduces depth and contrast.

Light Bronze ZEISS lenses complete the warm tonal aesthetic.

The result is luxurious without being loud.

Did You Know?

Karelian Birch is valued for its unusual natural figuring.

Unlike synthetic wood patterns or printed acetate, the distinctive markings form naturally within the timber.

MAYBACH then selects and hand-finishes these woods for eyewear, meaning slight differences in color and grain aren't imperfections—they are part of what makes each frame individually identifiable.

THE ARTIST Philosophy

MAYBACH describes THE ARTIST series as a combination of precious plated lightweight titanium with handcrafted fine wood or genuine horn temples.

The clean lines of the metal construction intentionally contrast against the natural grain of the temples.

THE ARTIST SUN I takes that concept further with lightly tinted custom sun lenses, creating eyewear where engineering, natural materials, and jewelry-inspired finishing come together in a single design.

Rimless Architecture

THE ARTIST SUN I uses an elegant rimless construction, allowing the lenses to appear suspended between the gold bridge and temples.

Without a heavy acetate surround, attention naturally shifts toward the materials.

From the front, the design appears refined and minimal.

From the side, the Karelian Birch Burr, Ebony, and 24K Gold reveal the frame's true complexity.

Handmade in Germany

The MAYBACH THE ARTIST SUN I is handmade in Germany, combining precision titanium engineering with specialized craftsmanship involving natural wood.

It reflects MAYBACH's philosophy of creating eyewear from materials more commonly associated with fine jewelry, luxury interiors, and bespoke accessories.

Prescription Ready

THE ARTIST SUN can also be customized with prescription lenses.
