The CABARET was launched in 1994 and is no longer in production; it is the only square movement A. Lange & Söhne ever produced - its design is certainly proof of the company’s strive for excellence in watchmaking. The rectangular movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back and reveals not only the legendary ¾ plate with the Glashütte stripes but also the rare spring fine adjustment, which more commonly found in pocket watches.
The CABARET comes in a variety of different gold colours and in platinum. This example is made of 18k white gold and the bezel is set with baguette diamonds. A handcrafted, heavy white gold bracelet where the links are studded with over 400 precious diamonds make this timepiece a marvellous piece of jewellery and at the same time a fine collector’s object for any distinguished Lange connoisseur.
