Descriptif du lot
TIGER Three One-off piece made from stainless steel, hand-painted as a miniature drawing according to the artistic design of Jaroslava Werstler. The artist chose the tiger as her motif because it is a very strong, lively and energetic animal. It has the strength and courage of a predator on the one hand and the exotic beauty of a wildcat on the other. The tiger does not sit around and wait – it searches, looks ahead, communicates. The artist painted the tiger as a moving entity and chose strong colours for her picture. Instead of a simple graphic, the artist opted for a detailed painting with acrylic paints on canvas in order to honour the upmarket appearance of Grossmann’s timepieces. People under the sign of the tiger are considered passionate, daring and combative. They are full of energy and accept the challenge to achieve their goals with enthusiasm and a large portion of optimism. They love variety and adventure. The polished stainless steel hands, handcrafted in the manufactory, form a calm contrast to the colourfully painted dial in solid silver.
Calibre 100.1 in a High Artistic Finish combined with a case made from stainless steel. Engraving 1 / 1. Grossmann manual winding with pusher for a perfected hand setting mechanism.
The tiger is the third of the Chinese zodiac signs. Years of birth under the sign of the tiger: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
