The beauty and glances of a Breguet Heritage watch is the perfect addition to any watch aficionado’s collection. While all most Breguet watches are featured in a traditional round setting, Heritage watches, have a unique rectangular look. This exceptional design comes from a long tradition of innovation and modernization dating back to the founding of the Breguet Watch Company, by Abraham-Louis Breguet.
Mr. Breguet was a master of the fine art of watchmaking his entrepreneurial and creative mind brought us the first automatic winding watch caliper, the first-minute reporting gong, and the “Breguet overcoil,” a spring designed to better balance and syntonize his watches. These were only a few of the brilliant design modifications that Mr. Breguet created.
When considering adding one of these stunning gems to your precious accumulation of timepieces, here are a few things to consider:
Function:
Although every one of the Heritage watches are perfect timekeepers, serval models also have a few extra elements that set them apart such as the Heritage 5400 which allows for the self-winding movement and displays the date, small seconds, 30-minute, and 12-hour totalizers. The Heritage 5497 is a hand-wound movement, with engraving done by hand and reveals a small second on the tourbillon shaft which is complete with a compensating balance spring with Breguet overcoil.
Astatic:
18- carat rose gold is a favorite among the Heritage line which is available on the 5400, 5410, 3661, and the 5497. The Heritage 8861 among others is available is a gorgeous 18-carat white gold model if you would prefer a bit of a change for the classic style. The Heritage 3490 is styled in an 18-carat yellow gold look that curves more with other vintage watch fashions.
