Van Cleef & Arpels Ref.9064

A watchmaking masterpiece from 1976: Where haute joaillerie and Ultra-Thin perfection converge.

Picture Paris in the 1970s: an era of bold elegance, artistic freedom, and pure luxury. In this golden age of haute joaillerie, two absolute titans of the watch and jewelry world decided to join forces. The result? The breathtaking 1976 Van Cleef & Arpels Reference 9064. This is not just a watch; it is a wearable piece of art that embodies the perfect synergy between French aesthetics and Swiss engineering.

The secret of the dial: A Unique Natural Phenomenon The absolute centerpiece of this dress watch is its dial, crafted from high-quality Tiger’s Eye. In the 1970s, top brands experimented with gemstone and mineral dials, but Tiger’s Eye remains the most fascinating. Thanks to its natural chatoyancy (the cat’s-eye effect), the watch plays beautifully with the light. The moment you move your wrist, the deep bands of shifting yellow, warm gold, and mysterious brown transform. Because this is a pure product of nature, no two dials are identical. Your watch is guaranteed to be one of a kind.

Behind the elegant dial bearing the Van Cleef & Arpels name lies a mechanical revolution. Its beating heart is the legendary Piaget Caliber 9P. Introduced in 1957 and measuring a mere 2 millimeters in thickness, this hand-wound movement was a technical marvel. At the time, Piaget was the premier specialist supplying movements to the most exclusive jewelry houses. Thanks to this ultra-thin construction, the 18-karat yellow gold case sits on the wrist like a second skin, offering an unprecedented level of comfort and refinement rarely seen today.

Every single detail of the Reference 9064’s design has been meticulously thought out. What immediately catches the eye are the rare, central T-lugs. Instead of traditional lugs, the watch strap is secured in the center by an elegant gold bar. This minimalist design element ensures that all attention is drawn directly to the perfectly round case and the mesmerizing natural stone.

The Van Cleef & Arpels Ref. 9064 is the ultimate expression of vintage chic. It is a timepiece for the connoisseur who refuses to settle for mass production, seeking instead a story, character, and historical value. Whether worn to a formal dinner or as a subtle statement beneath the cuff of a tailored suit, this watch whispers class where others shout.

Omega was founded in La chaux-de-fonds by Louis Brandt in 1848, although the company would not be named Omega until 1903. It is one of the most successful Swiss watch houses, both in terms of sales and historical significance.

Louis Brandt was already rather innovative before his Omega days. He developed the very first minute-repeater wristwatch with Audemars Piguet in 1892. Although Brandt died in 1903, Omega would not lose its innovative nature. Among its biggest accomplishments are the manufacture of the first tourbillon wristwatch movement in 1947 and the first large-scale commercial implementation of George Daniels’ co-axial escapement in 1999.

The biggest highlight in Omega’s history is undoubtedly the moon landing in 1969. Both Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin wore Omega Speedmasters on the lunar surface. But there is so much more to this Swiss powerhouse. They launched the very first dive watch with the Omega Marine, all the way back in 1932. That is some twenty years before the Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms and Rolex Submariner would redefine the category.

Omega has no shortage of hit collections. From the Speedmaster to the Seamaster and from the Constellation to the De Ville, with tons and tons of variations within all of those lines. You may opt for a yellow gold pie-pan Constellation or for a chunky Ploprof. There is something for everyone.

And that is before we go into Omega’s military history, including the Dirty dozen MOD-issued field watch. And we cannot forget James Bond, with his tricked out Seamasters since 1995’s Goldeneye.

No wonder then, that we love Omega so much!
