Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is this Hermès Clipper Chronograph watch? A: This watch has a 30 mm case, giving it a refined midsize look. It suits those who prefer a smaller, elegant watch profile, and the bracelet currently fits a wrist of up to 18 cm.
Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic? A: This Hermès Clipper Chronograph Ref. CL1.310 uses a quartz movement, so it is battery-powered rather than automatic. That makes it a convenient everyday option with no winding required.
Q: What does the chronograph function do? A: The chronograph is the watch’s stopwatch feature. On this model, the side pushers are used to start, stop and reset the timing function, while the three sub-dials display the elapsed timing information. It also includes a date window.
Q: What makes the Clipper design distinctive? A: The Clipper line is known for its sporty yet elegant look, including a stainless steel case and bracelet, distinctive H-link bracelet design, and a bezel inspired by nautical portholes. This piece is finished with a pale pink dial and Arabic numerals for a softer, more feminine look.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: The external condition is rated very good, with light scratches on the case and bracelet. The internal condition is listed as good, and the metal parts remain shiny with light surface scratches consistent with careful pre-owned wear.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist, and can it be adjusted? A: The bracelet is currently sized to fit a wrist of 18 cm or smaller. It can typically be adjusted smaller by a watchmaker or jeweller by removing links. If you need a larger fit, please note that no extra links are included with this piece.
Q: Does this watch come with box, papers, or other accompanying items? A: No. This listing is sold without box, papers, or other accompanying items. Please rely on the product information shown in the listing for what is included with the watch.
Q: Can I wear this vintage watch in water? A: We do not recommend exposing a vintage pre-owned watch to water, even for everyday situations such as showering or swimming. To help preserve the movement and case, it is best to keep it dry and avoid moisture, steam and humidity whenever possible.
Q: How should I care for a vintage quartz chronograph like this? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear, store it in a dry place, and avoid knocks or prolonged exposure to heat and moisture. If the timekeeping changes noticeably or the chronograph or date stops working properly, have it checked by a qualified watchmaker.
