Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Serenade Luna exists at the intersection of two very different crafts: precision horology and decorative art. The moonphase complication here is not a token gesture — its mechanism requires correction by just one day every 122 years, which places it among the most accurate of its kind. The calibre behind it is built in-house, carries a 60-hour reserve, and runs on a silicon hairspring that ignores both magnets and temperature shifts. Through the exhibition caseback, the solid 18k red gold rotor is visible, its shell guilloché a reminder that finishing at this level is done for its own sake. At 32.5mm and 8.9mm deep, this sits on the wrist with genuine discretion — slim enough to pass under a cuff, proportioned so the dial fills without dominating. That dial opens onto a sunray blue surface marked by 20 brilliant-cut diamonds in place of indices, arranged so the moonphase aperture at six o'clock reads as a natural centrepiece rather than an afterthought. The mother-of-pearl moon against its star-scattered background works precisely because the dial was designed around it from the start, not fitted with it afterwards.

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.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow 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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Cheapest place to buy
Both Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths list it at £10,300, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
