Hermès Kelly 2 15mm Ref KT1.210 Full Set Watch

Q: What is the Hermès Kelly 2 15mm Ref KT1.210 watch?
A: It’s a vintage, Swiss‑made Hermès quartz wristwatch with a compact 15mm stainless steel case and an orange Hermès strap. This example is a Full Set and comes with its original box, certificate and booklet, reflecting Hermès’ refined design and craftsmanship.

Q: What movement does it use and what battery does it take?
A: The watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement. Most similar Hermès mini quartz models use a standard 1.55V silver‑oxide cell (often a 377/SR626SW), but the exact battery type should be confirmed by a professional watchmaker to avoid damage. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years, depending on use and storage.

Q: Is it water‑resistant?
A: As a vintage fashion watch, water resistance is not guaranteed. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid showering, swimming or submersion. If light moisture resistance is important, have the gaskets inspected and pressure‑tested by a qualified watchmaker.

Q: What is included with this Full Set?
A: This piece is delivered with its original Hermès box, certificate and booklet. Please refer to the listing’s Accessories section for details—this watch is explicitly sold as a Full Set.

Q: Will the 15mm case suit my wrist, and is it unisex?
A: The 15mm case offers a petite, elegant presence ideal for smaller wrists or for those who prefer a discreet, jewellery‑like watch. While often styled for women, it can be worn unisex depending on personal taste.

Q: How do I set the time on this quartz Hermès watch?
A: Gently pull the crown out to the setting position, rotate to the correct time, then push the crown back in. Set the watch on a soft surface and avoid pressing or twisting the crown excessively. If resistance is felt, stop and consult a watchmaker.

Q: Can the orange Hermès strap be replaced or swapped?
A: Yes. Hermès offers straps for various models, and there are reputable specialist suppliers for vintage Hermès straps. Ensure any replacement is specifically compatible with the Kelly 2 15mm attachment system and length. Contact us with your wrist measurement for fit advice.

Q: How should I care for the watch and strap?
A: Wipe the case with a soft microfiber cloth. For the leather strap, use a dry or slightly damp cloth only—avoid soaps, solvents, perfumes and prolonged UV exposure, which can mark or fade leather. Store away from moisture and magnets, and avoid abrasive cleaners on the metal surfaces.

Q: Is the watch authentic and does it come with a warranty?
A: A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage accessories and professionally authenticates every item. We provide a 12‑month warranty on the watch’s movement. If you wish, we can share additional photos and details to further verify authenticity.
