CALIBRE 9PRECIOUS GEMSTONES
4
A technological marvel, the Von Arkel hinge is made using the same fusion of tempered 316L grade steel and polishing techniques used in watchmaking.
It offers exceptional solidity and sturdiness, making it more resistant to scratches and marks. Its mechanism allows the lenses to be tightened while ensuring freedom of arm movement thanks to integrated friction regulation.
Complex in its design and conception but basic in its handling, this inventive and patented system is manufactured by Swiss master bar turners of the watchmaking network via a unique process.
Interchangeable, the Von Arkel hinge is also available in a number of different finishings, from polished stainless steel to 23.5-carat gold finished by PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition). A combination of different processes ensure durable and subtly-coloured colour hues.
THE ONLY HINGE OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD

Either through the micromechanical approach to the watchmakers’ Calibre 9 hinges or through their technical and aesthetic sophistication, the Von Arkel frames are nourished by an incredible desire for perfection.
The Von Arkel hinges possess several unique features that make them particularly outstanding mechanical elements. They represent the identity signature and the spirit of the brand.
Creativity might arise from various and unexpected ways, but at Von Arkel, ideas are cultivated thanks to the synergy of concerted minds of men sharing the same passion. The whole process requires patience and know-how.
Although it might be rather simple to produce a standard frame, it is far more complicated to achieve a Von Arkel.
A KNOW-HOW, AN HERITAGE

Von Arkel’s Calibers 9 represents simplicity inspired by the virtuosity of the most wonderful watch movements.
With no screws, no rivets, no soldering nor setting, the Caliber 9is composed of two parts only. The system allows fixing the lenses and temples simultaneously thanks to a double lock mechanism : while the axis clamps the lenses’ frame in place, the temples lock the whole system together. The opening and closing motion of the temples are friction limited and can vary depending on the collection and the needs.
Von Arkel’s Caliber 9 - made out of stainless steel - offers opticians an easy assemby of the eyewear thanks to a watch inspired «plug & play» process.
The hinge has an internal opening and closing mechanism clutch with no protruding points and therefore has zero risk of pinching.
