Hermès Kelly 2 15mm Ref KT1.210 Watch

Q: What is the Hermès Kelly 2 15mm Ref KT1.210 watch?
A: It’s a vintage, Swiss‑made quartz wristwatch featuring a petite 15mm stainless‑steel case and Hermès’ iconic Double Tour leather strap. The Kelly 2 carries Hermès’ refined design cues and is ideal for elegant, understated wear.

Q: What movement and battery does it use?
A: The watch uses a Swiss quartz movement. Most examples take a standard 1.55V silver‑oxide button cell, but the exact battery type can vary—please have a qualified watchmaker confirm and replace it. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on use.

Q: Is it water‑resistant?
A: As a vintage fashion watch, treat it as splash‑resistant at best. Water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Avoid swimming, showering or submersion, and ensure the crown is fully pressed in during everyday wear.

Q: What is a Double Tour strap and how does it wear?
A: Hermès’ Double Tour wraps twice around the wrist, giving a bracelet‑like look with added presence while keeping the petite case refined. It suits small to medium wrists; fit depends on strap length—contact us for sizing guidance.

Q: Can the strap be replaced or swapped?
A: Yes. Genuine Hermès straps are available in various leathers and colours, including Double Tour options. Strap compatibility is model‑ and lug‑width‑specific for the Kelly 2; we can confirm the correct size for this reference and advise on authorised sourcing.

Q: What are the dimensions and who will it suit?
A: The case height is approximately 15mm, offering a very petite profile that’s perfect for those who prefer discreet elegance. The Double Tour adds visual presence, making it wearable across styles and wrist sizes, especially small to medium wrists.

Q: How do I set the time?
A: Gently pull the crown out one click, turn to set the time, then press the crown back in until fully seated. If the watch has stopped, a fresh battery may be needed. For safety, have adjustments and battery changes performed by a qualified watchmaker.

Q: What is included with this watch and is it authentic?
A: This piece is delivered with a Hermès pouch, certificate, and service documents (2018). A Retro Tale professionally authenticates every item and backs it with a 100% authenticity guarantee.

Q: What servicing and warranty do you provide?
A: Quartz watches typically need only periodic battery changes and gasket checks. A Retro Tale provides a 12‑month mechanical guarantee covering proper movement function (excludes battery, accidental damage, and water ingress). If you notice timekeeping issues or condensation, arrange a professional inspection.

Q: How should I care for the case and leather strap?
A: Wipe the case with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep leather away from moisture, perfumes, oils and direct heat; store flat or in a pouch. After any battery change, ask your watchmaker to check and renew seals if light splash resistance is desired.
