1944 Tanfana
Gracefully Balancing
Art & Precision
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.

An Inner Beauty
Grönefeld is synonymous with making fine mechanical movements enhanced with peerless hand finishing and the Calibre G-06 proves no exception. To the rear of the watch, a pane of sapphire crystal grants sight of the movement.
The automatic movement within the 1944 Tanfana obviates the need for manual winding, making it ideal for daily use. The 22-karat red gold oscillating weight is openworked, runs on ceramic ball bearings and features ‘The Tree of Life’ symbol in white gold. It is also engraved with ‘Goddess’ and ‘Tanfana’. The Tree of Life symbolises strength, growth and resilience. Its roots represent family and foundation, while the branches reflect dreams and self-discovery.
