This is the latest from Grönefeld, the 1944 Tanfana.
Per the guys at Grönefeld -
The 1944 Tanfana is the first Grönefeld ladies' model. The Horological Brothers found inspiration in the close surroundings of their hometown of Oldenzaal. This is where 'Tanfana', a goddess, once stood. Tanfana is considered a guardian of peace and harmony. The reference 1944 pays tribute to their beloved mother Netty's birth year.
This timepiece embraces new design codes and employs some materials not previously seen on a Grönefeld timepiece; however, it still subscribes to the same exacting standards which have attracted praise from legions of watch aficionados over the years.
The 1944 Tanfana is offered with a wide array of straps to choose from.
The Dial – Eminently Feminine
The dial of the 1944 Tanfana is formed of aventurine, a glossy midnight blue material incorporating numerous glinting metallic inclusions. Its geometric motif, known as the ‘Flower of Life’, enhances the dial's visual depth and texture. This pattern is linked to Sacred Geometry, an ancient discipline that explores the spiritual meaning of shapes and proportions often found in nature.
Extended Lancette hands, a style employed on the majority of Grönefeld timepieces, converse with applied trapezoidal indexes to pronounce the time clearly. The hands are formed of red gold, matching the indexes.
A small display sits at the base of the dial. It eschews the customary seconds hand and track combination in favour of an animated floral motif. As time passes and the floral motif rotates, it creates a mesmerising moiré effect, reminiscent of a flower endlessly blooming.
Beautifully Formed
Measuring 37.5 mm in diameter, the case of the 1944 Tanfana is intricately shaped. It incorporates a multitude of heights and unites different lines and curves, bestowing areas of brilliance and shade. The case execution is nuanced and sophisticated while contributing to the harmonious appearance of the watch. The crown features an aventurine cabochon mirroring the appearance of the dial.
Offered in Red Gold Au750 5N, gleaming surfaces abound. The 1944 Tanfana has a gem-set case and pin buckle, providing an additional quotient of sparkle. For example, the Red Gold Au750 5N Tanfana is specified with 233 brilliant cut diamonds weighing approximately 2.73 carats gracing the bezel, case and pin buckle.
