I've never been a big fan of aviators, but this pair simply looks perfect. Especially, with this subtle and sophisticated tint. Great job as always from Robert. His passion for the trade simply shines through these golden frame amber tinted glasses. Easily 10/10 from me.
I would definitely say that these frames with that tint suit you absolutely perfectly! They are different from most of the frames that you have in your collection and just like you mentioned after wearing them and reviewing the footage you started to like them more. Absolutely great video and review. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks, thanks and thanks again! Glad you enjoyed this video
Hands down the best optician and glasses advisory service I have ever had. A fantastic experience from start to finish, Robert is exceptional in matching the right pair for you. This 40% amber tint with flash coating could well be my next choice. Absolutely stunning.
Thank you!
Loved the video and the exceptional eyewear. The tint is something out of the world. Robert, my compliments for a job well done.
Truly an amazing friend and the best optician in the world hands down. We love you over here in the States.
Robert, you are THE BEST content creator on RUclips. From the information to the style and the aesthetic it’s all top notch
Wow, thanks!
That's a really beautiful tint. And yes, I think they suit you quite nicely. You keep making it hard to choose my next pair
That's my job 😉 hope I'm inspiring you
I would get this lens combination with Cartier CT0409O gold frame which would go nicely with amber flash coating
Yes it would 😍
Can't wait to get my new spectacles. Thanks Robert.
I'm also really excited for you to get them!
Beautiful frames! I am watching this video through my l.a. Eyeworks Gilroy in Basketball with 30% Amber Gradient / Amber Flash. So grateful for you recommending tinted lenses and helping me choose several different colours; life is surprisingly enhanced and more relaxing through tinted lenses. 😀 I loved your comment at the end: "If you have a vision for a style of glasses that you want to wear, GO FOR IT!" Great advice.
I've just ordered my first prescription glasses. Varifocus Zeiss smartlife with PhotoFusion lenses with the amber flash coating. I can hardly wait for them to be ready for me... So stoked 😊 so glad my optometrist had the same 'device' to measure my face you use. I've paired them with a Serengeti frame silver colored with a hint of gold...
I’ve just realised you put this lens and tint in my gold frame JMM Stanley Kubrick Full Metal Jacket you sent last month. I’m loving everything about the tint and it matches perfectly the frame. It’s a great addition. Fantastic video too Rob, very enjoyable 👍
Thanks Robert, as always ❤️
Yes, I chose that exact tint for your pair, even though it was different to the idea you had. I was nervous about whether you would appreciate me making that decision, so now I'm particularly happy.
They do suit you. They look great. When we look at ourselves up close in the mirror, as opposed to the visual perspective from another person at distance, can be slightly different.
The GAST Mente in acetate may be a nice alternative budget friendly option for this type of tint.
I’m intrigued by the Ahlem frame and will reach out to see if it would suit me!
As good as this video is, it doesn't do justice to just how beautiful this pair of glasses actually is; they are even more stunning in the flesh. Out of everything I brought in and tried on they are the pair that lingers most in my mind. The frame is a masterpiece and the lens is absolutely perfect for them; they complement each other perfectly. I wanted to take it away with me! They look amazing on you and I am jealous that they belong to you and not me. I am thinking about adding them to a Cartier 0270 in gold. Maybe just another 10% on the strength of the tint and with an amber photochromic to make it a touch more versatile.
I'm so glad you appreciated them. I've had that reaction from everybody who has seen them, and yet strangely we haven't sold that many (relatively speaking compared against our most popular models)
That would be a lovely combination with the 0270. Remember we're also doing this tint on your Akoni.
@@thespectaclefactory Oh I haven't forgotten about the Akoni; they'll be great. But there is just something timeless about that lens with that frame.
Perfect glasses, frame and tint. I think I saw them in the shop but missed trying them on
I just got a pair like this with green lenses. Highly recommend it!!
Robert, these glasses are my favorite pair of glasses on you to date. Beauty does not need to shout. Does the sky shout? A rose? A wave falling upon the sand? In the Louvre, my favorite painting is Chardin's Basket of Peaches, circa 1768.The great British art critic, Robert Hugh's once said, "The chief virtue of art of silence." None more exemplified than a painting of a quiet, still, unmovable basket of fruit. These gold framed glasses, with their warm amber tint, are as subtle and beautiful as a Chardin, an artistic and industrial design masterpiece... thanks to you and Ahlem Manai-Platt.
Hi David,
I always look forward to your comments, genuinely.
Modern art like yours is more my kind of thing, personally, but it's impossible not to appreciate the many masterpieces on show at the Louvre (including the rooms themselves).
@@thespectaclefactory ♥
If _“beauty doesn’t need to shout,”_ how do you rationalize recording something for social media, dramatic cinematography, romantic background music &c. This paradigm (social media, fashion, marketing, advertising, persuasive rhetoric &c…) couldn’t be farther from _“not shouting”_ if it tried. This is precisely the *opposite* of _“not shouting.”_
If you’re interested in functionalist design philosophy, look into the work of the Bauhaus. For an articulation of humility in design (typography), read Beatrice Warde, The Crystal Goblet. You’re conflating _“subtle industrial design”_ with pseudo-minimalist pastiche.

David is an acclaimed artist, so he knows a thing or two about capturing beauty. I think there's a distinction between the product itself and the techniques I use to showcase it. My aim with these videos is always to help people build an emotional connection with eyewear so that they feel great about wearing their glasses and/or sunglasses.
He was simply referring to the featured pair.
I feel I have a difficult time embracing the idea of tints because as a photographer, the first thing I do is remove color casts from the image which could be thought of as a tint. However, the tint in these glasses give contrast and depth to the subject without altering the original scene. I find your final thoughts compelling as I think you look the most amazing in stylish frames. Elegant with an edge. They just seem perfect.
That's exactly why people should get it as their first foray into tinted lenses. It's subtle both aesthetically and in it's effect. Like you said, there is that extra depth and also a bit more warmth, but otherwise it is fairly neutral.
Awesome Tutorial 😎
Thanks 😁
Brilliant video
Thank you!
This lens tint could be too light for certain situations and certain people, but for the people who can pull it off and for those situations in which it's not too light, this is definitely a lens tint option worth considering.
Now I want this on my Barton Perreira Judes!
I own Masunaga Rindo with Amber and it's genuinely beautiful.
What an amazing pairing!
The tint looks a little bit like the tint on basic Eyezen lenses.
I had Eyzen lenses for three years and never got used to the awful soup color, it even made my severe protan color blindness worse when looking through the Eyezen lenses.
I now have two frames with Zeiss smartlife clear lenses with a platinum coating and one frame with Zeiss smartlife lenses with photofusion x in pioneer with a jade flash coating and never been happier with my glasses (I even see more difference in colors while wearing the photofusion x).
In terms of looking through, I guess so. Aesthetically, it's completely different though. And it is much more pleasant compared to EyeZen
That tint is not inherit with Eyezen, it is the Prevencia AR coating, which I don't highly recommend.
@@Meowlico
I have no idea what coating they used on the lenses, I only know that the lenses gave a very slight brown/yellow tint to everything (just enough to make all whites off white).
@@MightyRude yes that coating has a yellow tint and purple reflection. Its really effective at blocking blue light but is awful with color distortion
Wear whatever you want to wear. It’s your life. Enjoy it!
I like these on you more than many of the pairs you have. That's not to say your other pairs don't suit you, just that these really, really suit you - at least in this setting, context, and outfit.
Absolutely stunning
🙏
Is this the champagne frame & do you stock it in the grey gold? Would be interested in the grey gold with this tint, such a great frame & tint combo. Great video!
This tint has a kind of vintage vibe to it, so aviator shapes seem very fitting here.
Great point! Wish I had articulated that myself
The lens tint does look somewhat vintage/retro, and the aviator style frame is one of the two or three most perfect styles to host the retro tinted lenses, the others being the wayfarer and clubmaster styles.
All glasses look good on this guy because he has a full head of hair. When will you do videos for glasses based on face type and for those with bald hair
Get a wig.
@@agnesolsvik the ladies love the shine on a bald patch, there is no chance it's going to be covered
This tint is called Chrome Classic in photography 😅!
Great tint I have it
But this is slightly darker side
Choosing the right lens tint with the right flash coating is definitely the hardest part about this. Not many in-depth examples on RUclips with many combinations to see. I like how this tint just enhances real life and doesn't really take things away.
I only have one pair with a flash coating, my Chloe square oversized frames with brown photochromic lenses, and the ruby flash coating. Stylistically it's a perfect match, and as far as reducing glare the flash coating does it's job. I have never had any issues with the flash coating, never seen the colour when the lenses are clear, as someone insisted being a problem here some time ago.
Love from India ❤
Love back to you!
Robert, this was one of my favorite reviews you've made yet. Beautiful setting and camera work, and a brilliant way to show off the difference a great tint can make.
I've been wondering, do you or the team at Spectacle Factory have any opinions on State Optical frames? As a viewer from the U.S. I'm keen to know what your thoughts are on an independent American brand.
I've always wanted to see what tint would work with the "Cutler and Gross x Great Frog London Crossbones" frames in sand crystal would look like, and this might be it.
6:55 I would say Havana tortoise shell frames
Great idea! Yes, that would work for sure.
@@thespectaclefactory and my brand of choice would be Cartier!
Does Zeiss have amber tint ?
Hello Robert, recently got Zeiss Smartlife Pro with Photofusion X and Duravision Flash after watching tons of your videos. While overall i'm happy with my purchase, i'd like to ask a few things:
1. Does amber flash coating leaves a reflection at the temporal side of the lenses
2. Does flash coating help in filter/reflect some light wavelength as they are on tinted lenses?
Thank you in advance
Yes, I love the golden glow it provides around objects! You can kind of see it in the beginning of the video. How much you experience depends on the frame choice and fit - which I'm sure your optician carefully considered with you during your consultation with them.
Yes, the main purpose of a flash coating is to deflect bright light sources away from the eyes
@@thespectaclefactory Thank you for the answer. What I mean by reflection, is reflection at the back side of the lens. I think I missed out on the "back" part 😅.
My prescription is rather high Sph -5.00 Cyl -3.50 OD and Sph -6.50 Cyl -3.00 OS.
Hi, Robert. Another interesting video, thanks. I have a off topic question. What do you think about Lunor frames?
When a pair of glasses are tinted like these, would they still have an AR coating on the back?
Ughhh I need these glasses in silver or platinum. I already have gold frames. I'm finding it very hard to find silver aviator frames. Everything is gold or gun metal
We'd love to make you a pair! You can reach us via hello@thespectaclefactory.com - I do think the gold looks best on this model but the grey gold is nice and subtle - not particularly silvery at all
How to order the glasses robert?
From India
Email us via hello@thespectaclefactory.com, and we'd be glad to help
Ho can you provide me the same color uncut lenses . And also let me know how much does it cost me with delivery. I have a cartier panthere rimless frame silver color . I would like to get this tint in my frame .
If one wanted to order this from zeiss what is the tint and flash mirror that tou would request from them?
It's a tint we created, not Zeiss, so if you want this colour it has to be ordered through us.
You mention dazzling when stepping outside, any idea if this can be successfully combined with a transition?
Yes, it can.
Can you tell me why is it difficult to find maroon colour sunglasses lens that basically gives a pinkish view when looked at the sun and are fibre sunglasses lens not uv protective?
Does this frame work with bigger faces aswell? I'm afraid the look too small in the end 😅 but they are absolutely gorgeous
No but the Haussmann would! it's quite similar. Or they have a couple of other models. Why don't you write to us via hello@thespectaclefactory.com and we'll recommend the right pair for you.
Santos Dumont
Perfect match!!
PERSOL ? I know their owned by ( Everyone Hates!) Luxottica , I can't find a video where you discuss Persol???
Why is there is no way to find these amber lenses on your website and order them with a chosen frame?
Most of what we do is custom. So if you write to us via hello@thspectaclefactory.com, we'll help you set up a custom order
what would happen if you did the 50% amber tint, asking as a detuan color blind person, who is very impressed with the amber tint.
I don't like Metal frames and you seem to have quite an affinity for them .
I have a pair of about 15 year old photochromics from high-school that look exactly like what you're advertising, so I'm pretty sure you guys invented just that: a residual tint on a no longer functioning cheap korean photochromics, that should have been thrown away long ago. Which is to say, good job on the marketing efforts.
Interesting theory!
We will have to disagree on tints. I want to see the world as it is, with accurate colors, and not shaded by a tint.
I spent 4 weeks in an office with white bright light some time ago. Thankfully I bought a pair of Chloe oversized frames from Robert with a 40% gradient blue tint, that I wore every day. 🎉
agreed....if you only have one pair of glasses, definitely get the best that doesn't obscure anything. but this channel obviously advocates buying lots of glasses and having a tinted pair as a fashion piece ain't a bad idea if you can afford it.
@@jojotwice8918if you only can afford one pair of glasses, I'd say go for photochromic lenses. They are perfect during all weather conditions. I even wear mine in the summer. And the flash coating reduces glare.
@@jojotwice8918This Channel is the best of its kind on RUclips!
Hi Robert,
I'm not saying your point of view isn't valid, because it absolutely is.
But let's do a thought experiment...
What is natural vision? As you see it? We all see and perceive the world differently due to genetic variation, amongst other things.
So, then... natural through your eyes specifically? Due to natural aging, we see the world differently every single day. For example, each day the lens in our eye gets a tiny bit more yellow (eventually causing cataract).
When you actually really deeply consider the philosophy of vision, thinking you ever 'see the world as it is' is complete hubris.
So maybe we should just focus on seeing better, or enhanced, rather than natural.
Nope. People such as Simon Cowell ruined tinted before it even had a chance to catch on. Instead of thinking “cool,” people will roll their eyes at you. Pre-emptively, this is your sampling bias: _“But I get so many compliments…”_ 1. You cant tell if they’re lying, 2. Just because someone doesn’t say they don’t like them, doesn’t mean they don’t like them. For all you know, there could be infinity people who hate them and didn’t comment.
The reason tinted will fail is because the current incarnation exists only as a reaction to thick chunky acetate. The same can be said of rimless. Both of these design decisions failed to acknowledge their painfully ironic syntactic contradictions.
For example: Typical hipster has-or recognizes the trend of-thick chunky acetate. As they do, the hipster always feels compelled to do the “next thing” instead. This is typically the opposite of whatever the current thing is, with the addition of a minor twist. So, from chunky acetate, they go to rimless. But because they’re rimless, there’s really not a lot going on to show off how cool the hipster is, so the hipster feels compelled to do more. Such as adding a tint. And a gradient. And a flash coating. And a bevel. And an edge treatment. And… And… And…
In design, the result of such an approach produces what is referred to as “a dogs breakfast.” In art history, it’s known as “horror vacui.” Basically unsophisticated, heavy-handed, and over-designed. *_“HEY EVERYBODY!!!! LOOK AT ME!!!!!! LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!!!!!!!!”_* It’s instantaneously obvious they’re more concerned with attention, than good design. And it surfaces the question _“If you wanted to attract attention and show off how cool you are, why did you pick rimless?”_ or _“Why would anyone choose minimalism, and then proceed to over-design the carp out of it?”_ The inevitable conclusion is that the wearer is both vain, *and* unintelligent. Not a good look.
Wanting to avoid this is the correct instinct. Which brings us to your greatest design challenge to date: Thinking as a functionalist, instead of a fashion victim.
This marks the beginning of a long and profoundly important dialogue about design. I’ll pause before we continue.

Unrelated: Re dramatic RUclips presentation, romantic background music &c… Tone down the rhetoric. You risk being perceived as a satirical version of yourself.
You are so funny. 😂 I laughed from beginning to end, while I sat waiting for my son in the beautiful sunshine earlier today. 😊
Of course wearing my JF Rey sunglasses with an Amber coating, from the Spectacle Factory. 😂😂😂
Thanks so much! That sunshine must have been the perfect backdrop for enjoying a good laugh. Those JF Rey sunglasses sound super stylish, by the way. I'm glad my humor could keep you entertained while you soaked up the sun. Here's to more sunny days and laughter-filled moments!
When a pair of glasses are tinted like these, would they still have an AR coating on the back?
