Bausch & Lomb, the pioneer of American eyewear.
Among their vast archives,
one of the most refined masterpieces
is this "HAWKEYE".
It is well known that Hollywood legend
and fashion icon
Johnny Depp wears these frames
both on and off duty.
The glasses he chooses possess the persuasive power
that only authentic, timeless vintage pieces can offer.
Created during the Golden Age of mid-century America,
the sophisticated design—classic Bausch & Lomb
with every unnecessary element stripped away—
boasts an overwhelming level of perfection
even more than 60 years after its inception.
This timeless appeal is exactly why
it continues to captivate global stars.
The horn-rimmed shape that thrusts out boldly on both sides
is impossible to reproduce with modern efficient manufacturing methods.
The smooth, sensual curves were achieved only through the
hand-shaping and polishing of craftsmen from that era.
Please enjoy the authentic charm and luxurious accent
that only an original from that time can possess.
*Condition*
A beautiful item that slept for nearly 60 years
in the warehouse of a former ophthalmologist's office that closed 30 years ago.
The nose pads have slightly discolored to an amber tone due to aging,
but it is within an acceptable range and not a concern.
A piece you can enjoy for many years to come.
The real vintage frames you can feel the moment you hold them
establish an authentic charm that cannot be satisfied
by the many copies and replicas on the market.
