I don't often have them altogether in the same place.
So here's a rare group shot taken today with the aid of the light box. However, I can never seem to get it right and the pics. leave a lot to be desired.
Thanks for looking.
cheers

I am not the olny one to have a problem with the date. :))) Superb quintett. I always have a smile when I see this Cabaret. The story behind it is so funny! [nt]
No message body
What an amazing family photo, fernando!
Can you share the funny story behind the Cabaret Nico? You got me curious = )

I was sure someone will ask... Ok here it is...
THIS Cabaret was on our collectors market some what? 10 years ago, a bit less?
I saw it, thought 24 hours on how to get it, because, if my memory serves me well, the seller lived in Asia.
24 hours after, I found a solution, but the watch was not available for sale for a good reason. Someone bought it, maybe one or two hours before me.
I was pesting, wondering who was the Bastardo who did that to me...
He was... Fernando, who posted it a week after. I asked him if it was not the very same for sale one week ago... He told me Yes...
Since then, we are friends.

What a great little story.
I am sure the friendship is worth more than the Cabaret itself. Happy 10th (or a bit less) friendiversary for you guys. = )

Lange & Sohne in the UK ...
I was at a champagne & canapés pre-Christmas thing at Stanford Hall in Leicestershire yesterday, given by Pragnell of Stratford-upon-Avon. It was unusually well done: an excellent venue, not too many 'guests', an interesting range of watches, jewellery & displays, including two jewellers 'in action' (also shown on a screen) and my wife & I enjoyed it.
In the Lange & Sohne display was a Zeitwerk Minute Repeater and other excellent pieces. To my surprise, these were almost ignored. It was as if there was no interest in the brand at all.
How strange.
Blah blah...
When I attend similarly fashionable events I refrain from describing them in such a high brow way. It’s a real turn off when one focuses on the setting and not the watches.
You seem to like black dial watches...
and Pt from Lange, of course.
That RL is trying to fit in
Very nice collection, fernando.
Which is the odd man out?
the RL or the Langematik? Black and pt. was my original theme. Missed out on the Emil which was also on my sights.
cheers

Always good to see a black Cabaret..
Surprisingly, I’m liking that sax-o-mat more than the 3 below.
Thanks for sharing. Seeing that Cabaret is a treat
