Thank you.

I guess my assumption was also that there would not be developing a new calibre from scratch, and so much of the development costs would be avoided. I don’t know if they would be bashed for doing this, but perhaps you are right if they were to just roll out the identical line up again. In my mind I had thought perhaps a refresh on cases, and dials obviously. The calibres could be the same (in theory).
And the point re cases all being the same, save for the Odysseus, I don’t quite understand this. Are you saying that in terms of production cost the simple fact that the ZW, Dato and 1815 have round cases leads to efficiencies? They are all different cases, in different sizes. The only common aspect is that they all round. I’m missing something here clearly as I can’t understand why a non round case is such a change. Perhaps it’s machine costs, can existing machines cannot be retooled to make rectangular cases?
No question I guess that any rectangular watch would have limited appeal.

sadly, a discontinued model.... Nico and Fernando - you may like this one You may recall that I got it through the Internet, at a reasonable price. This watch now sits on vintage elephant skin... It is one of two non-limited models in my 15-piece Lange co...

...love the case and the shaped movement. I wish Lange would make something like it again...
sure, with pleasure

In order to make a new watch like the Cabaret, they would have to construct a new case and a movement for this form. The investment cost for this needs to be earned by the number of watches that you are going to sell in this model line. I. e. all types an...
Thank you.

Mine shows a lot of wear and tear. Maybe I should have it serviced as well...
An elegant gem.

And the elephant strap is an excellent addition.

They are with no doubt true Lange lovers, as well as watchmaking lovers. You don't choose a shaped watch with a dedicated movement if you don't understand it. You know what I mean, it's a matter of balance between aesthetic and mechanics. Lange's path is ...
Well analyzed

BTW there is also a special edition for LOG (Lange Owner's group) in white gold (silver dial), if I remember correctly
Gorgeous

I might have to own one of these one day. The Cabaret is so good.
beautiful

Loves the Cabaret.
By: singingbee : February 3rd, 2021-06:25
Especially this particular variant. It is such a cool piece from Lange. Hope they will bring back the Cabaret in one form or another in the future.
Thank you for opening my eyes . . .

with this post. I love my Grande Lange 1 and have always considered another piece from the marque. Whenever I see the Cabaret, I immediately skip over it, reminding myself that I have a stunning gold Reverso that "scratches that itch". But seeing this one...
