The Atelier's Choice.
Step into a craftsman’s workshop, where generations of skill meet unwavering focus. Each engraving, each detail, is deliberate—a process Breguet has perfected since its founding. The Héritage collection reflects this legacy, blending timeless techniques with innovative design.
The Breguet Héritage Tonneau Cambré 8670 is a shining example of this philosophy, embodying the brand’s enduring commitment to meticulous detail and refined design. Its tonneau-shaped case, crafted in 18Kt white gold, blends vintage charm with modern elegance. The softly curved edges are adorned with a coin-edge effect, achieved through cold rolling and hand-finishing—a testament to the same craftsmanship you’d witness in that workshop.
The dial is where this masterpiece truly comes to life. Made of solid gold and meticulously hand-engraved on 19th-century engine-turning machines, it features six levels of guilloché designs that flow inward from the dial's edge to the seconds subdial. These patterns are simply breathtaking, offering a tactile depth that invites you to lose yourself in their detail. The Roman numerals, expanding and contracting with the tonneau case’s curves, emphasize symmetry while enhancing the watch’s unique shape.
Above the dial, the Breguet blued steel hands, with their signature open tips, glide effortlessly across the surface. A closer look reveals the secret Breguet signature flanking the 12 o’clock position—a discreet hallmark of authenticity. The watch is powered by the caliber 532 automatic movement, featuring 25 jewels and precision engineering visible through its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Paired with an 18Kt white gold bracelet, the seven-row bead-of-rice design is a rare and luxurious feature. Supple and comfortable, the bracelet is secured with a concealed butterfly clasp that maintains a seamless aesthetic, with the Breguet logo cleverly serving as the opening mechanism. The 6.8-inch bracelet is attached with screws for added security and can be sized or replaced with a leather strap, offering a completely new look. Weighing in at 123 grams, this piece is substantial on the wrist, with today’s gold value further underscoring its luxuriousness.
Every detail of the Breguet Héritage 8670 tells a story of craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless value. With its original papers, rare bracelet design, and unparalleled guilloché artistry, this piece stands as both a stunning timepiece and an enduring investment.
