Founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet, one of horology’s most famed watchmakers, Breguet is a brand rooted in classical horological excellence. With such innovations as the tourbillon, the Breguet overcoil and their eponymous ‘Breguet’ hands and even numerals among their impressive list of accolades, Breguet are widely renowned as one of the most influential and important watchmakers in the industry. With a truly remarkable history, Breguet’s timepieces often hark back to the classical period of watchmaking through a traditional aesthetic, and this Heritage ref. 3490, as its name suggests, is no different. Measuring 33.5mm x 29.5mm, its rounded corner rectangular 18kt yellow gold case features a thin polished domed bezel that swoops down to the midcase where it overhangs a coin-edge texture. Matching this level of exuberant detail, the Heritage’s stunning silver dial also features a beautiful blend of textures with a hobnail 'clous-de-Paris' engraving in its center, concentrically-brushed chapter rings, and a grain d’Org guilloche outside of its main subdial. An elegantly styled timepiece, the Heritage is undoubtedly Breguet at their finest. The distillation of watchmaking prowess, timepieces like the ref. 3490 offers a window into Breguet's raw watchmaking talent in a package that doesn't distract the wearer with modern conveniences; instead, they shock and awe their bearer with their captivating aesthetic and impeccable craftsmanship.

Inspired by Breguet's heritage, as its name also suggests, the ref. 3490 has everything that has become synonymous with Breguet. From its elegant proportions to its incredible dial, it has everything one could want in a Breguet dress watch.
