Hands-On 2021 A. Lange & Sohne Cabaret Tourbillon Handwerkskunst
In 1997, A. Lange & Sohne introduced the Cabaret. A very unlikely name given the brand's august Saxon spirit, the Cabaret was also Lange's first rectangular watch since its rebirth in 1994. Not to be mistaken with the Arkade, which formed part of the quartet of watches that marked the brand’s revival, the Cabaret had a distinctive Art Deco spirit. The most spectacular and complicated version of the Cabaret was the Tourbillon edition that went out of production in 2013.
