The Serenade Luna line was conceived as a ladies' collection built entirely from the ground up — including the movement. Calibre 35-14 was developed specifically for it, which matters because in-house automatics scaled genuinely for a smaller case are rare; most manufacturers shrink a larger movement or reach for a bought-in solution. This one runs at 28,800 vph with a silicon hairspring that resists both magnetism and temperature variation, and it carries the full Glashütte decoration — stripes, bevelled edges, blued screws, and a guilloché rotor plate in solid 18-karat red gold — visible through a sapphire caseback. At 32.5mm and 8.9mm thick, this sits squarely as a dress watch: flat enough against the wrist that the rose gold case reads as jewellery without the dial becoming difficult to use. The green sunray finish shifts considerably depending on the angle of light, pulling warmer or cooler as the wrist moves, which gives the dial more life than a static colour would. The moonphase at six o'clock uses mother-of-pearl for the lunar disc, setting it apart from the surrounding starfield by material as much as by shape. Forty-eight diamonds on the bezel and twenty on the applied hour markers are a lot of stones in a small case, but the colour discipline — green dial, green Louisiana alligator strap, rose gold clasp and case throughout — keeps everything reading as a considered whole rather than an accumulation of additions.

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.
