Originally released in Summer 2018 as part of our ongoing partnership with Marin Hopper and Hopper Goods, these oval ’60s-inspired glasses with a classic keyhole bridge return to celebrate “A Decade of Hopper,” featuring our signature arrowhead front-pins, 7-barrel hinges, custom ‘Hopper’ wirecores with hairline-engraved Southwestern motif, and other precious metal details.
Recalling the spectacles worn by Dennis Hopper in a photograph entitled, “Dennis Hopper in Front of a Dr. Pepper Sign, 1965,” taken by friend and fellow actor Robert Walker Jr., these handcrafted collectibles are a tribute to those formative years when Mr. Hopper romped around Los Angeles with a camera, capturing the era's countercultural spirit in roll after roll of intimate photography.

Charming and cerebral, these limited-edition spectacles are directly inspired by the glasses worn by a young Stanley Kubrick in 1948, when he was sharpening his penchant for visual narrative as a staff photographer for Look magazine, shooting everything from dramatic portraits of boxer Walter Cartier to celebrities like Frank Sinatra.
The 1948 and the 1980 were the first of many limited-edition eyewear expressions to emerge from our inaugural engagement with the works of Stanley Kubrick, serving as a celebration of the life and creative output of one of the most brilliant, influential, and original filmmakers in cinematic history. Over the course of his career, Mr. Kubrick displayed a dynamic dedication to research and craft that shaped his films into timeless explorations of humor, hubris, horror, and hope. This unique collection of eyewear is an homage to the legacy of cinema’s obsessive genius, a sartorial tribute to the unflinching vision and aesthetic ingenuity that solidified him as an auteur for the ages.

testimonials
Experience with the latest designs, this is what you’ll find at the Observatory… What sold me though was not only the advice on how the frames should fit but the advice on lenses – invaluable.
-Grey K., Yelp Review
The store had an excellent selection of frames – much more exciting than what I saw in the other stores. In addition, the staff didn’t just sell glasses, they had the required expertise to find the glasses that fitted my face.
- Linda N., Yelp Review
Excellent service, exceptional product – truly kind and genuine people working there. It seems like they really enjoy what they do, and it comes out in the way they treat the clients.

Originally released in Summer 2016 as part of our inaugural collection produced in partnership with Marin Hopper and Hopper Goods, these rectangular ’60s-inspired glasses return to celebrate “A Decade of Hopper,” featuring our signature arrowhead front-pins, 7-barrel hinges, custom ‘Hopper’ wirecores with hairline-engraved Southwestern motif, and other precious metal details.
Informed by the creative spirit of Dennis Hopper, these limited-edition spectacles are named after the eccentric high-desert town in New Mexico which served as the late actor and artist’s creative playground. Recalling the idealism and decadence of the ’60s, these handcrafted collectibles are inspired by the actual glasses worn by Hopper in his landmark film, Easy Rider (1969). As suitable for the spiritual thrill-seeker as they are for the secular sophisticate.
