Paris is always worth a visit. This is partly due to the irresistible mix of history and modernity: magnificent buildings and works of art bring to life not only the style but also the history of different eras. Unexpected perspectives open up when strolling through streets and small alleyways. But Paris is also the epitome of the French art of living – that delightful joie de vivre that can be felt in even the smallest corners of the city, at bistro tables, on the famous boulevards or on the banks of the Seine.
The Glashütte Original Serenade Luna has also been to Paris: The photos for its launch campaign were taken at the beginning of the year in a mansion in the French capital – a setting that was chosen for good reason. After all, the latest mechanical wristwatch also thrives on playing with contrasts, soft shapes, traditional mechanics and contemporary design.
Modern femininity finds expression in various forms and colours: loud and quiet, gentle and strong, rebellious and creative… It has countless facets, each of them as unfathomable as it is irresistible. Now Glashütte Original has taken inspiration from feminine diversity to create a new timepiece. The Serenade Luna is a mechanical masterpiece for cosmopolitan, confident women who make their own way in life, redefining the meaning of femininity with every step they take. With the finest materials and an automatic movement designed and built in-house, it is the perfect lifetime companion, whose timeless beauty is forever in fashion.
The inspiration: feminine facets
The Serenade Luna finds inspiration in the women of today and their many different facets. They are women who capture everyone’s attention when they enter the room, and who have mastered the dance between light and shadow. They enjoy the limelight, but can just as easily let others shine. They are driven by their passion. Their intuition leads them on. Yet they always remain a mystery. No one knows what they will do next, or which side of themselves they will reveal. It is this enigmatic aura that makes them so irresistible.
The concept: the contemporary art of watchmaking with a feminine touch
With the Serenade Luna the Saxon manufactory also reveals a new facet, demonstrating how delicately and gracefully it is able to master the art of watchmaking. This latest creation is a precious wristwatch with the character of a fine piece of jewellery. Newly conceived from start to finish, its precision, suitability for day-to-day use and reliability are second to none among Glashütte Originals. The manufactory’s watchmakers and designers have created a glamourous yet subtle timepiece with slim dimensions, noble materials, and fascinating details.
The design: shimmering diversity
The Serenade Luna is presented in four versions, each with a completely different personality. All models have in common a diameter of 32.5 mm, sparkling diamond indexes, and a modern take on a moon phase display. Two stainless steel models feature a mother-of-pearl dial: one opts for a pure, clean look, while the other is adorned with the finest of diamonds on the bezel and crown. A third version in stainless steel presents a blue dial with a sunray decoration that lends it a radiant finish. The fourth model is a glamorous eye-catcher: a dreamlike creation in shimmering red gold with a golden green dial. Here too, diamonds on the bezel and crown provide luxurious accents. All models come with a Louisiana alligator leather strap, carefully colour-matched to the dial. A quick-change mechanism allows the straps to be easily swapped. For the stainless steel versions, an elegant metal bracelet is also available.
The complication: heaven on earth
The moon phase is considered one of the most beautiful displays in the art of watchmaking. And as a specialty of the Glashütte Original manufactory, it was predestined to find a place of honour in latest creation of the German watch manufactory. In a round, finely framed opening at the lower edge of the dial, the iridescent mother-of-pearl moon rises into a night sky strewn with stars. The display is driven by an automatic movement that has been designed especially for this timepiece and meets all the requirements of the contemporary art of mechanical watchmaking. Its refined finishes are a visual delight and can be easily admired through the sapphire crystal case back.
The product family: watches for modern women
The new Serenade Luna joins such well-known and popular members of the Glashütte Original portfolio as the PanoMatic Luna and the Lady Serenade – two product lines that celebrate feminine diversity, each in their own way. Thus the manufactory continues to expand its range of refined mechanical timepieces for women around the world. Offering new, irresistible nuances, the new models are made by hand in the manufactory’s own workshops in Glashütte.
