Price range £6,300 to £34,700 across 33 Glashütte Original watches in stock.

The Serenade Luna sits within a lineage of dress watches that Glashütte Original builds around its own women's movements — not adapted men's calibres, but mechanics conceived specifically for this scale. The 35-14 at its heart carries a silicon hairspring for magnetic resistance and runs for 60 hours on a single wind, its rotor cut from 18-carat red gold and finished with wave-pattern guilloché visible through the display caseback. At 32.5mm and 8.9mm deep, it wears closer to jewellery than most automatic watches manage, and the dial earns that comparison: white gold hour markers set with twenty brilliant-cut diamonds ring a mother-of-pearl surface that shifts with the light. The moonphase at six o'clock continues the material logic — the lunar disc itself is mother-of-pearl against a printed midnight-blue sky, pulling the night into a watch that otherwise reads as daylight. The seconds hand carries a curved infinity symbol at its counterweight, a detail borrowed from the Lady Serenade that, at this scale, only registers once you are looking for it.

Learn more about Glashütte Original

Glashütte Original is the direct corporate descendant of the East German state watchmaking industry. When the Soviet administration expropriated Glashütte's private manufacturers after the Second World War — A. Lange & Söhne among them — it consolidated them into a single enterprise, VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe, which produced watches for the Eastern Bloc for four decades.

After reunification the enterprise was privatised, and in 1994 it took the name Glashütte Original. It therefore inherits both the archives and the tooling of the pre-war houses and the industrial capacity built under the GDR.

That inheritance shows in vertical integration unusual even at the high end. The company makes its own movements, and its own dials, through the Pforzheim dial manufactory it acquired in 2006 — a capability most houses buy in.

The house signatures are German: three-quarter plates, duplex swan-neck fine adjustment, hand-engraved balance cocks, and skeletonised rotors in double-G form. The Panorama Date, a large date display where both discs sit on one plane so no dividing line interrupts the numerals, is its most distinctive complication and a deliberate improvement on the standard big-date module.

The Senator, Sixties, and Seventies collections cover classical and retro-industrial ground respectively. Swatch Group acquired the company in 2000.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

How long does it run for when it's not worn?

About 60 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.

What size strap does it take?

16mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as women's.
