A cornerstone of the inaugural Circa Collection released Spring 2015, the Fontainebleau is a masterclass in balance and embellishment—an original JMM silhouette named for the famed imperial palace outside Paris, where centuries of French rulers left their mark in architecture, art, and ambition.
Like its namesake, the Fontainebleau is a renaissance of form: a modified Panto lens shape with a softened geometry, elevated by sculptural flourishes and refined detailing. The keyhole nose bridge and wirecore temples echo the craftsmanship of another age. Each curve is deliberate, each element—like our signature polished metal embellishments— are carefully chosen, serving as quiet declarations of intent.
Handcrafted with the precision that has defined JMM from the beginning, the Fontainebleau is a modern heirloom that is self-assured and steeped in historical allure. A style not bound by time, but shaped by it.

Fontainbleau
At the turn of the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte sought more than military conquest—he sought a visual language equal to his imperial ambitions. Enter Charles Percier and Pierre François Léonard Fontaine, architects whose mastery of antiquity and modern invention birthed Empire Style: an aesthetic of symmetry and splendor, where eagles and sphinxes, bees and laurel wreaths, proclaimed the grandeur of a new Rome. Together, they transformed palaces (like that of Fontainebleau and Malmaison), interiors, and even furniture into instruments of power, their designs as theatrical as they were enduring.
As we mark ten years of Jacques Marie Mage, we return to where it all began: the nascent sparks, the first bold forms, the foundational silhouettes that set our course. With Origins, the inaugural offering from Réserve by JMM, we invite you to rediscover the earliest expressions of our ethos—limited-edition spectacles from the first season of the Circa Collection, which consisted of exactly four styles: the Dealan, Zephirin, Hatfield, And Fountainebleau.
