Cabaret Tourbillon
A fine and elegant platinum rectangular-shaped tourbillon wristwatch with date and power reserve indication
Full-Cataloguing
- Introduced in 2008, the Cabaret Tourbillon was revolutionary as the first wristwatch featuring a patented stop-seconds mechanism, which halts the balance wheel in the carriage when the crown is pulled out. This innovation allows for precise time-setting. After just five years in production, it was discontinued, with an estimated production run of only around 250 pieces, available exclusively in platinum or pink gold cases.
- The present watch features a platinum three-body case, enhanced by a stepped bezel and protruding lugs. Its subtle grey dial showcases a balanced Art Deco design, complete with a 4 o’clock power reserve indicator and an 8 o’clock small seconds counter adorned with delicate azurage.
- Viewable through the sapphire caseback, the wearer can appreciate the Maillechort plates and bridges, elegantly decorated with the signature ribbing pattern and refined chamfering that polishes all edges to perfection. Notably, the unique hand-engraved bridges for the transmission wheel and tourbillon carriage feature the Lange signature floral motif. This minimalistic tourbillon wristwatch beautifully merges artisanship with technological brilliance, serving as an epitome of elegance—a perfect timepiece for watch aficionados seeking excellence from the Glashütte tradition.
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.
