The Serenade Luna began as an attempt to give the moonphase complication a setting worthy of it — not merely to include a moon disc but to build an entire dial narrative around one. The result reads as a night sky rendered in watchmaking: a deep sunray blue that shifts with the light, twenty brilliant-cut diamonds in white gold applied as hour markers so they catch and hold the eye like stars, and at six o'clock a mother-of-pearl moon suspended over a printed star field within a circular cutout. The rose-cut diamond on the crown is the kind of detail that becomes visible only up close, and is better for it. The calibre beneath the display caseback tells a separate story. Glashütte Original developed it specifically for watches of this scale, and the construction shows: a silicon hairspring for magnetic resistance, four regulating screws on the balance wheel, and a solid red gold rotor finished with shell-pattern guilloché — work usually reserved for the dial side. The 60-hour power reserve means the moon display, which advances only once every 24 hours, will keep good time through a long weekend without winding. At just under 9mm thick the case disappears under most cuffs, which matters for a watch with this much happening on the dial.

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.
