* 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 are the key details of this Hermès Clipper watch? A: This is a vintage Hermès Clipper ref. CL4.220 with a 24 mm case, cream dial, Arabic numerals, a date window at 3 o'clock, and a two-tone stainless steel and gold-plated H-link bracelet. It is Swiss made and presented as a full set.
Q: What makes the Clipper line distinctive? A: The Clipper line is known for its maritime-inspired design. Its name references 19th-century clipper ships, and the bezel is often described as porthole-inspired. Together with the signature H-link bracelet, it gives the watch a recognisably Hermès look.
Q: How does the 24 mm case wear? A: A 24 mm Clipper wears as a petite, elegant vintage watch. It suits slimmer wrists particularly well and offers a refined, understated look for everyday wear or dressier occasions.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist, and can it be adjusted? A: It is currently sized for a 15 cm wrist or smaller and comes with 3 extra links. A watchmaker or jeweller can usually add or remove links to improve the fit.
Q: What movement does this watch use? A: This model uses a Swiss quartz movement, so it is battery powered rather than automatic. Quartz movements are appreciated for their convenience, accuracy, and low day-to-day maintenance.
Q: Is it water resistant, and can I swim with it? A: Vintage Clipper models in this size are generally best treated as splash-resistant only. Because this is a pre-owned vintage watch, water resistance should not be assumed unless it has been freshly pressure tested, so swimming, showering, and bathing are not recommended.
Q: Does it have a scratch-resistant crystal? A: Many 24 mm Hermès Clipper references such as the CL4.220 are commonly fitted with sapphire crystal, which is more scratch-resistant than standard mineral glass. Even so, it should still be worn with care to avoid chips or hard-impact damage.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This watch is listed as a full set and includes its box, and the product information also notes 3 extra links. For the exact included contents, please refer to the product information on this page.
Q: What condition should I expect, and how should I care for it? A: This piece is in good vintage condition, with light scratches noted on the case and bracelet. To help preserve the steel and gold-plated finish, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid abrasive products and chemicals, and keep it away from prolonged moisture when not in use.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Hermès watch? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned luxury pieces are carefully vetted for authenticity. For vintage watches, this typically includes checks of reference details, construction, dial and bracelet design, engravings, materials, and overall consistency with the model.
