Introducing the Roland Iten R60 Diablo - a 60.66 Carat Diamond Belt Buckle - Monochrome Watches

In the weeks leading up to Baselworld 2015 I received an email to invite me for a private viewing of the newest offering from the brand. Now you can probably imagine that I get quite a few of these emails in the weeks/months prior to the biggest watch fair. However this invitation was different, as it was not watch related. It involved a 60.66 carat diamond and a high-mech belt buckle created by Roland Iten. Since it wasn't about watches, I explained that this was not my kind of thing. Carol, Roland Iten's wife, was rather persistent and I agreed to come and have a look, although I really no nothing about diamonds. So on a sunny Sunday morning, during Baselworld, I set off to meet Carol and Roland in the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois in Basel, and that became a very interesting meeting.
