Catalogue Essay
In 2008, A. Lange & Söhne introduced the Cabaret Tourbillon, marking another revolutionary milestone as it was the first wristwatch to feature a mechanism that stops the tourbillon when the crown is pulled out. This innovative yet complicated feature allows for more accurate time-setting. Available in platinum or pink gold cases, the Cabaret Tourbillon was produced for five years before being discontinued and it is estimated that only around 250 pieces were ever made.
The present watch encased in pink gold features a sophisticated three-body case, enhanced by a stepped bezel and distinctive protruding lugs. The elegant silvered dial exhibits a balanced Art Deco design with a power reserve indicator at 4 o'clock and the small seconds at 8 o'clock, creating a perfect symmetrical composition.
Through the sapphire case back, the wearer can appreciate the Maillechort plates and bridges, which are decorated with the signature ribbing pattern and meticulously chamfered to achieve the highest level of finishing. One of the highlights is the unique hand-engraved bridges for the transmission wheel and the tourbillon carriage, showcasing the Lange’s signature pattern. In a nod to their tradition of pocket watches, the tourbillon cage is held by diamond end-stones on both sides.
Exemplifying a fusion of craftsmanship and technological prowess, this minimalist tourbillon wristwatch epitomizes elegance and represents watchmaking excellence from the Glashütte tradition. It is a perfect choice for watch aficionados seeking a timepiece that combines artistry and technical innovation.

A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally 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.
