Q: What defines the Hermès Heure H 21mm?
A: Designed by Philippe Mouquet in 1996, the Heure H is an icon of the house. Its signature steel case takes the form of the letter 'H', playfully "capturing time" within the initial of Hermès. This specific model (Ref. HH1.210) is the petite 21mm version, featuring a black dial and a matching stainless steel bracelet.

Q: Is this watch battery-operated?
A: Yes, this timepiece is powered by a precision Swiss quartz movement. This ensures accurate timekeeping and low maintenance compared to mechanical movements. It requires a battery replacement every 2–3 years.

Q: Will this watch fit my wrist?
A: With the included extra links, this watch is suitable for a wrist circumference of up to 17.5cm. The 21mm case size is designed to have a delicate, jewellery-like presence on the wrist.

Q: Can I change the bracelet?
A: One of the defining features of the Heure H collection is its versatility. While this piece is sold with its original stainless steel bracelet, the design allows for straps to be interchanged. You can often swap the bracelet for a leather strap (sold separately) to change the aesthetic completely.

Q: Is the watch water-resistant?
A: The Heure H was originally rated for 30 metres (3 ATM) of water resistance. However, as this is a vintage piece from circa 2010, we cannot guarantee the seals are still watertight. We recommend treating it as splash-resistant only and removing it before swimming or showering.

Q: What is the condition of this specific piece?
A: This watch is in Very Good condition. It shows light traces of use consistent with its age, specifically scratches on the case, case back, and bracelet. Please review the images to appreciate its vintage character.

Q: What is included with the purchase?
A: This is a "Full Set" listing, making it an excellent choice for collectors or as a gift. It includes the original Hermès box, the certificate, and the two extra bracelet links.

Q: Is there a warranty?
A: Yes, A Retro Tale offers a 12-month warranty covering the mechanical function of the movement. We also guarantee 100% authenticity on all our items.
