Description
A poetic fusion of classical Chinese garden artistry and refined mechanical watchmaking in a 36mm dress timepiece.
Inspiration & Design
The Moonlit Serpentine 36mm from Shanghai Watches draws inspiration from the poetic beauty of traditional Chinese gardens - spaces designed for reflection, movement, and harmony. Its design language captures the quiet elegance of moonlit pathways and layered pavilions, translating cultural symbolism into a timepiece of understated sophistication.
Meticulously crafted details pay tribute to Yuyuan Garden, with intricate 18K gold carvings depicting the iconic Huxinting Pavilion (“Pavilion Among the Lake”), the meandering Nine-Turn Bridge, and the garden’s layered architectural forms. These motifs are not merely decorative, but a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and the artistry of classical Chinese design.
Dial & Case Details
Housed in a polished 36mm stainless steel case, the Moonlit Serpentine is thoughtfully proportioned for elegant daily wear. The dark nacre dial offers a soft, luminous depth that shifts with the light, creating a sense of calm sophistication on the wrist.
Applied accents provide gentle contrast against the dial, while the sapphire crystal enhances clarity and visual depth. With 5ATM water resistance, the watch balances refined design with everyday practicality.
Movement & Mechanics
Powering the Moonlit Serpentine is a self-winding mechanical movement, delivering smooth and reliable performance. Its traditional three-hand layout underscores the watch’s classic character, while the automatic calibre reflects Shanghai Watches’ enduring commitment to mechanical craftsmanship.
Designed for both beauty and function, the movement offers dependable timekeeping with the subtle charm that only mechanical watches provide.
Strap & Wearability
Finished with a quality leather strap, the Moonlit Serpentine sits comfortably on the wrist and complements its dress-leaning profile. The 36mm case size makes it especially versatile, suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes and styling preferences.
Whether paired with formal attire or refined everyday wear, the watch transitions effortlessly across occasions.
The Shanghai Watches Moonlit Serpentine 36mm is a celebration of cultural elegance and mechanical tradition. With its luminous nacre dial, balanced proportions, and timeless design language, it offers a graceful expression of Chinese-inspired watchmaking: understated, poetic, and enduring.
