Catalogue Essay
Fresh, assertive, and imaginative, the A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret embodies the Saxon manufacture’s spirit of experimentation and uncompromising horological excellence. Only three years after the brand’s celebrated rebirth in 1994, Lange challenged convention with the Cabaret, replacing its familiar round cases with a striking rectangular design. Distinguished by its outsized date display—a hallmark inspired by the Semper Opera House clock in Dresden—the model marked a bold departure from traditional Lange aesthetics.

Launched at Baselworld 1997, the collection began with the pink‑gold ref. 107.031 featuring a two‑tone black and silver dial. A year later, in 1998, the present ref. 107.027 was introduced in white gold, showcasing an elegant navy-blue dial. Its austere geometry softened by Roman numerals and diamond‑shaped indexes—echoes from the Lange 1 and early Saxonia—it possesses a timeless style reminiscent of traditional elegance, with a technical finesse resolutely modern. At its heart beats the cal. L931.3, operating at 3 Hz with a power reserve of 42 hours, housed within a case whose refinement makes it an ideal companion for formal occasions.

Offered in barely worn condition, this example of the Cabaret captures both the artistry and daring innovation that define A. Lange & Söhne. An exceptional dress watch for the sophisticated connoisseur of fine German watchmaking.

A. Lange & Söhne

German | 1845
Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
