The CARLO III Special Edition is a tribute to the vision of Carlo Sestini, the creative force behind Sestini. The model is defined by a vintage-inspired, oversized front, whose distinctive thicknesses give the frame a strong, unmistakable character. Bold proportions and carefully studied volumes set CARLO III apart as a statement of presence and identity. The temples echo this strength through decisive, substantial sections. While the construction carries a greater material weight, the deep, artisanal finishing of the surfaces creates a surprising sense of lightness—resulting in a frame that feels balanced and effortless when worn. Confident and expressive, CARLO III embodies modern elegance shaped by craftsmanship, heritage, and vision. A special edition designed to stand out, and to endure. CARLO III introduces a new custom-designed hinge, developed exclusively for Sestini. Inspired by Florence, it pays tribute to the fleur-de-lis, the brand’s distinctive emblem, reinterpreted as a functional design element. Then, a newly developed wirecore, with its torsion-inspired structure, echoes the refined geometry of the columns of the Baptistery of Florence. A refined decorative detail completes the design: a domed shield encloses a new sculpted dolphin, plated in 24KT gold and palladium.
