Lange Cabaret under appreciated unloved

Hi All; Just seeking opinions from fellow purists in regards to the Lange Cabaret. Why do you think this piece is so under appreciated? Is it the shape? Even ALS never decided to reintroduce as a regular production watch!! I owned it in the past and found...  

generally, all rectangular watches are not much in demand

it is true for Patek too that discontinued the Gondolo for men. I once asked an AD and they told me that all rectanguar watches were very slow to move. The interest of many international clients was only on round watches.

I like rectangular watches…

I have a Reverso and would like to add a tank one day as well. The Lange is also beautiful but maybe not as iconic as other square/rectangular watches? For me I’d pick a round Lange before the cabaret but it is definitely not a bad choice and deserves muc... 

I think it’s a great watch. I owned one once and regret selling it.

Mine was the rose gold black dial model that had a white subsecond dial at 6 o’clock. It came on a black strap with orange contrast stitching and was really pretty. Good choice for you. Enjoy!

Only thing I know is that...

... It's a really beautiful watch. I agree with what the other Purists said, rectangular watches are not much in demand nowadays. Maybe the new Cartier offerings will reignite collector's interest.

Big fan of rectangular watches...

And this one is a nice design but the massive date ruins it for me.

Beautiful piece!

I like this very much. Also a fan of Lang and Heyne"s Georg.

I would take this one, the Rolex Prince posted

gorgeous

L&H Georg is another very special piece. Perhaps Reverso dan Tank are so iconic and well priced such that almost everyone choose either of those two as their rectangular or square collection.

Wrong on both counts...

...it's a classically beautiful watch with a stunning, shaped movement. What's not to love? : ) I wish Lange would bring it back...

I personally like it a lot! It has a lot of charm!

Maybe a new version with a more Saxonia style dial

battons rather than numerals, a little cleaner, certainly a great piece

What do you think of the "Nota Romana" version? Here's a pic in yellow gold

 
 By: CR : February 25th, 2022-13:51
It still has romans but is much cleaner. I've never seen one of these in person, and they made them briefly in YG/WG/PT (but didn't advertise them in catalogs). ...
