They’re stupid expensive, but my Mykita titanium frames (despite how the name sounds, German company, made in Germany) are around a decade old and I’ve replaced the lenses in the same frames three times (b/c plastic lenses scratching and all that). They’re as good as when I bought them and won’t be surprised if I still have then in another 10 years.
The titanium has had a hand in it, but the hinges are the amazing innovation that I believe has kept them going; that’s where my old frames always broke.

The original screwless hinges AFAIK were from https://www.ic-berlin.com/ people later left there and started mykita.
