John's orange spectacles.

John Lennon's Orange Spectacles

John Lennon ware these orange tinted
spectacles whilst composing his
legendary album Imagine. He believed
that orange was an inspirational
colour. The spectacles are made of 14
carat gold and use an early version of
photo chromatic glass (a lens that
reacts to light and dark surroundings)
The orange lens would darken in bright
light and lade in the shade however
alter several years the tint has become
fixed as the chemical in the glass loses
its effectiveness over time.
