A. Lange & Söhne
Cabaret 107.032— lug 19mm

The lug width of the A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret 107.032 is 19.00 mm. This dimension is constructive and admits no variation: the lug pin spacing between the lugs is fixed at 19 mm. Any strap intended for this model must respect exactly this measurement to fit without excessive tension or play between pins and case seats.

For the 107.032 in rose gold, the following are recommended: grey-hazelnut alligator to enhance the perception of craftsmanship, vegetable-tanned calf to develop a patina that naturally contrasts with aged gold, cognac-brown shell cordovan for warm and waxy tonality, black calf with ivory stitching to maintain Saxon severity. The choice depends on desired aesthetics and intended daily use.

Strap removal is performed by extracting the pins (lug pins) that connect the strap to the case lugs. Use a specialized tool (spring bar tool or lug width tool) to release the pin from its seat, then remove the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the pin hole with the upper lug seat, pushing gently until the pin clicks into the opposite position. Verify that the pin is firmly secured in both seats before wearing the watch.

Yes, any strap manufactured for 19 mm lug width is compatible with the 107.032, provided the width matches exactly and the pin is correctly dimensioned. Aftermarket straps are available in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and rubber from specialised suppliers such as Milano Straps, which also operates through the Casati Milano bespoke atelier for custom-made commissions.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan) typically lasts between 3 and 7 years depending on daily use, humidity exposure and maintenance care. Vegetable-tanned leather evolves over time, developing patina. Signs of wear (creases, chafing on keepers) are normal and attest to the authenticity of craftsmanship. An aftermarket strap made in full-grain leather with hand-stitched seams can exceed the lifespan of the original.
