The Roland Iten Mechanical Luxury Company
By utilising the high precision mechanics capability of an industry previously reserved exclusively for the manufacture of finely crafted Swiss Watches, the Roland Iten Mechanical Luxury Company has pioneered a new segment in men's accessories which it calls "Haute Mechanic for Gentlemen™".
There is a delight, surprise and joy to discover and to touch an expertly crafted Roland Iten piece, because, the man behind the marque founded in his own name has a captivating aptitude and passion for creating mechanical objects.
He applies his infinite capacity for invention to liberate mundane objects into the world of precision engineering, transforming them into exceptional objects that function with complete finesse—thus bringing extraordinary character to belts, cufflinks and other men's accessories.
All Roland Iten collection pieces are 100% made in Switzerland and based upon patented mechanisms ensuring and protecting brand value. Only the finest materials and world class manufacturing processes are utilised to ensure outstanding craftsmanship.
This distinct standard resonates throughout the company and its selected partners. Their artisans hand finish each piece, combining precious metals with inlays such as mother of pearl, exotic tropical hard woods, classic guilloche and pavé diamonds. Each piece is released within a limited, numbered series, carries an individual serial number which provides a record of origin and authenticity and is issued with a hand-signed certificate by Roland Iten himself.
R8 Mark II Precious Mechanically Performing Belt Buckle – 30mm
Code name: THE GENTLEMAN
The R8 MKII PRECIOUS mechanical belt buckle is an evolution of the original HE 8 / R8 MK I series created by Roland Iten in 2003. The beautifully distinctive and elegant design of the MK II PRECIOUS Series is afforded by its sleeker body and is the ideal accessory for those situations when a Gentleman would like to make a discrete statement regarding his discerning taste and status.
R81 Gibson Collection Mechanically Performing Belt Buckle
Codename: GOLDFINGER
Working together with Purdey, the custom gun company, on the limited edition of the R8 Mark I AUTHENTIC gave Roland the opportunity to tour their factory, see how their guns open up and feel the power of the springs. This inspired him to create a spring loaded belt deployed in eight positions. The R81 GOLDFINGER “Gibson Edition” Suspension Belt functions via a patented trigger mechanism which delivers 8 degrees/ 25mm of calibration along a ratchet barrel construction.
R82 Double Ardillon Belt Buckle
Codename: COBRA
The Calibre R82 is, without a doubt, the most complicated piece in the ROLAND ITEN collection with over 150 engineered parts. In contrast, however, to the serious mechanics which comprise this buckle, the Gentleman who prefers discretion may choose to wear the R82 because it reveals no more than a traditional solid gold frame. The principle upon which the R82 functions is tension. With one smooth movement, the buckle lever transports the ardillon across the carriage by 35mm. The same lever movement tightens two integrated springs in the hinges on either side of the buckle which activates a locking mechanism securing the buckle in the active wear position. To convert the buckle to the relaxed position, two side triggers are employed which ejects the buckle lever instantly, thereby releasing the tension. The stealth speed at which this belt performs has inspired its code name ‘Cobra’.
RZ8 Mark II
Mechanically Performing Cufflinks
Codename: ZILETTO
An evolution of the original Z shaped, spring ejection, double-bullet cufflinks created by Roland Iten in 2004, the RZ8 MK II ZILETTO Slyders are 100% engineered and manufactured in Geneva, Switzerland and incorporate two new improved and patent-pending features: -a sophisticated push-button ejection mechanism and a unique click-controlled, sliding sleeve calibration system.
The RC81 Mark II
Mechanically Performing Cufflinks
Codename: CHARLESTON
The RC81 Cufflinks afford its wearer a discreet and sober all ‘business’ look, or a festive elegance with 40 exposed diamonds, simply by flipping a lever. The joy of this little mechanical operation also results in an optimal force translation so that with a slight movement of your finger the sixteen twisting, turning, flipping and pirouetting parts in the internal gearbox turn and lock the link into your cuff, all at record speed if you are well-trained. Either way, the power of the force is enjoyable.
RCD 81 Mark I
Mechanically Performing
Credit Card Dispenser
The RCD 81 Mark I Credit Card Dispenser has enormous appeal to connaisseurs of mechanically functioning objects-- it houses a patented trigger dispensing mechanism which cascades up to six of your most important credit cards for easy handling and collapses them back inside the case with the same one-handed trigger action. The extruded aluminium case is ultra light and its supple density makes it an ideal material for engraving. Its smooth, ergonomic curves appeal to playful purveyors of luxury and its elegant beauty is enhanced through a contradiction of satin and polished surfaces. But its not all beauty and no brains— the case protects your cards against bending or damage and it offers extra protection in shielding radio waves-- an important security consideration to safeguard your private credit information. The Mechanical dispenser for credit cards is issued in a limited series utilising a solid rose gold or polished titanium architecture.
