Launched in 1988 by Marchon Eyewear, Flexon revolutionized the optical industry by introducing memory metal titanium frames. The brand's origins trace back to 1961, when US Naval scientists discovered a unique titanium alloy for missile heat shields that could automatically return to its original shape after being bent or struck. Marchon adapted this aerospace technology into consumer eyewear, creating frames that can be flexed, twisted, or bent without losing their form.
