Walter Wittek gained international recognition for his design of the Tension Ring—a technical and aesthetic innovation in which a diamond is held solely by the tension of the metal, appearing to float freely. His artistic thinking revolves around ideas of origin, center, and movement, expressed through forms that are reduced, precise, and symbolically rich.

Ouroboros is an ancient symbol of eternity, cycles, and renewal — a serpent devouring its own tail. In Walter Wittek’s interpretation, the ring captures this endless motion, symbolizing the unity of beginning and end. The ring was designed in 1983 and has now been reissued by ORFÈVRE.
In 1985 Walter Wittek received the Bavarian State Price for the Ouroboros Ring, which has also become part of the Pinakothek’s permanent collection in Munich.
