A deep blue dial, golden hands: Like the nightingales with fine plumage that inhabit Berlin’s nearby forests, Tetra Nachtijall sings of beautiful times and the buzz of last night. There are many night owls in Berlin, but none as beautiful as this. And only this once has a heart crafted in Glashütte.
Tetra’s typography is reminiscent of Tangente. Though without serifs, the numerals appear a tick more modern.
Gold squared: Nachtijall’s hands are gold-plated (which reveals its membership of the Berlin set).
All confidence aside: Nachtijall never needs to boast. The hand-wound Alpha caliber within keeps things in proportion.
Impression
Not square, edgy Tetra Nachtijall in a mysterious deep blue, entirely classic with a size of 29.5 by 29.5 millimeters. And at 6.3 millimeters in height, incredibly slender too.
