Q: What defines the Hermès Arceau collection? A: Designed by Henri d'Origny in 1978, the Arceau is one of the most iconic timepieces from Hermès. It is celebrated for its equestrian-inspired aesthetic, featuring asymmetrical lugs shaped like stirrups and a distinctive font with slanted Arabic numerals, designed to evoke the elegance of a horse in motion.
Q: What are the specifications of this specific model (Ref. AR3.220)? A: This is the petite 25mm model, produced circa 2000. It features a two-tone case crafted from stainless steel and gold plating, a classic white dial, and the signature two-tone link bracelet. It represents a refined and subtle choice for those who prefer smaller vintage timepieces.
Q: Is the movement automatic or quartz? A: This watch is powered by a precision Swiss quartz movement. This ensures accurate timekeeping and ease of use, as it does not require daily winding. We recommend having the battery replaced by a professional every 2 to 3 years to maintain optimal performance.
Q: What size wrist will this fit? A: This specific timepiece is sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 15cm. This is a petite fit, so we strongly recommend measuring your wrist before purchasing. Please note that no extra links are included.
Q: What is the condition of this watch? A: The watch is in Very Good condition. It shows light traces of use consistent with its age, including scratches on the case, case back, and bracelet. The dial and crystal remain in good condition, preserving the watch's vintage charm.
Q: Is the watch water-resistant? A: While the watch was originally designed with water resistance, we cannot guarantee the integrity of the seals on a vintage piece from circa 2000. We advise treating the watch as splash-resistant only and avoiding swimming, showering, or immersion in water.
Q: How should I care for the gold plating? A: To preserve the gold-plated finish, avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals. We recommend wiping the watch gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and storing it in a dry place to prevent tarnishing.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: This watch comes with its original Hermès box, adding to its collectibility and making it an excellent gift option. Papers are not included, but the authenticity is fully guaranteed by A Retro Tale.
Q: Do you offer a warranty? A: Yes. A Retro Tale inspects every item for authenticity and quality. We provide a 12-month warranty covering the mechanical function of the movement, ensuring peace of mind with your vintage purchase.
