The regular version is more balanced with great lines.
The tourby with the 2 subdials look bottom heavy and the silhouette reminds me of micky mouse…….😅
My answer to Tony's post: mixed feelings
Here's my answer to Tony 's post: Look what Lange came out with A. Lange & Söhne brings the Cabaret back to life , with a tourbillon and in honeygold , if you please! This could be wonderful news. But let me show you right away why I think it isn't as won...
Great analysis...
...the proportions look off...i seems far too wide. I share your feelings about a hole in the dial...
Not a fan
Tourb looks small, dial looks bland, the sub dials seem off, the broken Romans. Honestly looks like a fake🤣
I'm sure it looks better in person,
but, like you, I'm rather disappointed. Best, Emmanuel
I guess it’s for symmetry
but wondering why there’s a small seconds with the tourbillon. Is it not a one minute tourbillon?
It is a one-minute tourbillon, but with stop seconds.
I think the subsidiary seconds is intended to allow a perfect setting of the time... Just my guess... Best, Emmanuel
I’m sorry, Tony!
I was very excited too when I saw this release, but upon closer inspection, I was necessarily a bit disappointed… Best, Emmanuel
It may have had slightly broader appeal.
But I like this release. From the wrist shots here, it’s evidently a big watch top to tail - we’re all different but my eye doesn’t see a proportion problem. And, with Lange’s first stoppable tourbillon, I think it’s sufficiently special to get the HG tre...
There’s no doubt that the stop-seconds complication is great.
And the watch definitely has its own appeal, especially if size isn’t a problem for you.
Forgotten and lost the studies and proportions of Lange 1 and Datograph
Cabaret for serving cocktails rather than putting it on the wrist
Yes, the shaped movement of the Cabaret
is a wonderful achievement since its inception. Best, Emmanuel
Agreed: the overall size on the revivals is too large and the proportions look wrong.
Besides that, the various dial apertures (besides the date) don’t sit well with me. I would love to see the Cabaret come back in the original case. That was perfection. ...
Thanks for sharing your wonderful example.
The regular Cabaret is the real deal. Best, Emmanuel
Not a nice thing for me to say…
…but I have always thought the various permutations of the Tourbillok Cabaret look like a very expensively-done Chinese fake. Best E.
You're not the only one
The design seems weirdo, the tourbillonv with small counters look like Mickey mouse 🤯
I wouldn’t go as far, personally,
as I’m convinced that the watch looks much better in person, but I understand what you mean and I’m not fond either of this timepiece. Best, Emmanuel
Never loved the Cab Tourb much either, because of the segregated dial and the size.
Look at the top half of the dial. You see rectangles within rectangles (mostly the date window frame, and also the HG lines near the dial edge). All straight lines. Looks like nice kitchen cabinets. Now look down south. We just left the kitchen and entere...
Aha! I like your humor!
Unfortunately I agree with you on all counts here. Best, Emmanuel
I can just imagine the designers eavesdropping on our conversations…
Banging their heads against doorposts or pounding fists on desks or doorframes (at first I mistyped fishs on desks …that might apply too, slapping a fish in frustration) ...
Indeed, 18 years, since 2008!
The original Cab Tourb models -- the 703.025 (platinum) and 703.032 (rose gold) -- were not limited editions. They were readily available for years. But I'm sure Lange knew at the time that these would never generate many sales due to their price point. T...
Yes, sorry for being so short-sighted:
we can indeed and should go back to 2008, not 2021! And that makes it all the more difficult to understand why they're stubbornly sticking with this format, which is clearly too large...
The original was not a memorable watch, which I think is why watch journalists mistakenly reported...
... in 2010 that the honey gold Lange 1 Tourbillon (722.050) was Lange's first stop-seconds tourbillon. The 722.050 was one of the original three honey gold models, which were introduced in 2010 to celebrate Langes 165th anniversary (because who doesn't c...
I imagine the designers like their design
because the new model is very close to the previous one from 2021, which was already criticized… Best, Emmanuel
It's interesting how it wears so large
Looks much larger than e.g. a Reverso. Probably because the dial is so large. I quite liked the first pictures, but you really took me down to earth as well On the wrist, it looks huge!
The regular version is more balanced with great lines.
The tourby with the 2 subdials look bottom heavy and the silhouette reminds me of micky mouse…….😅
