Thank you, aviya!
"Bulbous pad-printing" is very well said and it also perfectly applies to the numerals of my Chronometro Gondolo!
Is the age of the moon printed in blue only on the PG version? According to ALS' website it seems to be the case also on the YG version.
Anyway, I'm glad you like this model too and I hope ill be able to see one in real life someday.
Best, Emmanuel
The Cabaret Moonphase
The A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret Moonphase , intorduced in 2004 and discontinued in 2009 is a very rare bird and finding nice photos of it is difficult. Below is the pink gold variant (ref. 118.032 / LSLS1184AD ) owned and worn superbly by @mu_watch49 . The c...
For me all Cabarets are hidden gems 💎
And would love to add one at some point - fits my wrist size really nicely, too 👌🏻👍🏻 ...
It does indeed, fits like a glove!
Hopefully, you'll score one someday! Best, Emmanuel
Thanks a lot, Salman!
I haven't seen on in person yet, but based on photos it might well be my favorite line too. Best, Emmanuel
What a beautiful and classy looking A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret Moonphase.
I think the case design with its levels really adds to the overall look and separates it from a lot of other rectangular watches as does the correctly shaped movement. I much prefer it on a leather strap as I think the bracelet makes it a little too loud ...
You describe very well what makes this case special and appealing.
And I'm fully with you concerning the bracelet. Best, Emmanuel
The Wellendorf bracelet seems to be quite something indeed.
But of course it makes the watch less understated. Best, Emmanuel
Bracelet is impressive,
but feels a little bit too much for me. Gator strap has my personal preference. Best, Emmanuel
Charming watches and an excellent post, Emmanuel.
Movement designed for the case. Lange’s outsize date - the only way to fit a date this large in here. Solid gold date disc - jewelled index. Lange’s lovely alpha hands and typically bulbous pad-printing on the marquee. I’d forgotten the age of the moon wa...

I think it is a Masterpiece. Its sad that rectangular watches are not so...
...commercially successful. At least that is the narrative. It would be so awesome if Lange still had them in their catalogue. Moritz Grossman's Cornerstone is the closest one can get to an Arkade equivalent.
I fully agree with you on all counts.
On a positive note though, rectangular or tonneau timepieces are often a bargain on the secondary market! Best, Emmanuel
I don’t mind the gold moon,
it’s the starry sky I’m not fond of. And I unfortunately don’t know if it affects thickness.
