A short time later, he took the audacious decision to be the first one to distribute Swatch watches in France. It made the headlines of the newspapers that denunciate, then, �a tragedy Rue de la Paix�.

In the nineties, a law authorized the import of 9k gold in France (an alloy with a very small proportion of gold). In order to protest against the use of such a poor alloy of gold, dinh van created the Chinese Pi, a piece of jewelry out of 24k pure gold. Inspired by Asian jade discs, the Chinese Pi is manually- hammered, which makes each piece unique.

The end of decade is marked by the cord bracelet success story, which became dinh van signature. True trend phenomenon, the cord bracelet will inspire everyone.

In 2004, the White & Black collection was launched from the association between dinh van and the young designer Milan Vukmirovic: white agate and onyx decorate the famous Chinese Pi.
