I wrote about the A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret in yellow gold back in 2018 and called it exactly what it was at the time: one of the least desirable watches in the Lange lineup. A unicorn—rare not because collectors were chasing it, but because almost nobody was. An art deco oddity in a rectangular case that the market had largely passed over since its discontinuation around 2011.

Introducing: A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret Tourbillon Honeygold—An Unexpected Comeback
The Cabaret has always been one of A. Lange & Söhne's most polarizing propositions. Introduced in 1997 as part of the brand's post-reunification rebirth, the rectangular case and art deco-influenced double-step bezel never drew the same crowd as the Lange 1 or the Datograph. It was discontinued around 2011 and has since lived as a secondary-market curiosity.
Introducing: A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Lumen—A Grand Complication That Never Goes Dark (Live Photos)
A. Lange & Söhne has always treated the Lange 1's asymmetric dial architecture as a canvas for complication. The "Lumen" edition pushes that proposition further than any previous iteration: a tourbillon, a perpetual calendar, and a moon phase—all luminous, all readable in complete darkness, housed in a 950 platinum case limited to 50 pieces.
From the Editor: Five Tourbillons That Defined the Past Twelve Months. Each One Answered a Different Question.

The most impressive novelty from A. Lange & Söhne this year at Watches & Wonders 2025 is the new Minute Repeater Perpetual with a black enamel dial. This horological masterpiece brilliantly marries the acoustic precision of a minute repeater with the mathematical complexity of a perpetual calendar.

From the Editor: Here's Why I Think the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Perpetual is a Perfect Watch for Guys Like Me
I’ve always been a big fan of A. Lange & Söhne, but I’ve never taken the plunge and purchased one. It is one of the brands that I really like but it doesn’t seem to fit my style and my lifestyle, as I typically gravitate toward very sporty watches or watches that are fitted with a bracelet. Now, I am not saying that you can’t wear a Lange watch with a pair of jeans and sneakers, nevertheless, every time that I try one on it seems to not go well with what I am wearing until the day that I took these pictures and the wristshot at the end of this article.
