Catalogue Essay
'A Roland Iten isn't a buckle, it is THE buckle. While Roland Iten does not create wristwatches yet, his belt buckles are as complicated as any timepiece. Using pink gold, titanium and diamonds, this buckle is a technical accessory that uses ball bearings to easily change the position of the belt.
Looking ahead, Roland is expected to apply the same concept to his watches - his buckles give a glimpse of what is yet to come.'
