Q: What is the Hermès Clipper 24mm Ref. CL4.220? A: A late‑1990s/early‑2000s Hermès Clipper in a petite 24mm case, crafted in two‑tone stainless steel with gold‑plated accents. It features a cream dial with Arabic numerals, central seconds and a date at 3 o’clock, paired with the signature “H” link bracelet and a folding deployant clasp.
Q: Is this model quartz or automatic? A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement (battery powered) for precise, low‑maintenance timekeeping. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years; we recommend professional battery changes so the gaskets can be checked at the same time.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal? A: Yes. Most Clipper 24mm references from this era, including the CL4.220, are fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal for improved durability and clarity.
Q: Is it water‑resistant? A: The Clipper line was originally rated for everyday water resistance (commonly around 50 metres, with some listings noting 30 metres depending on variant). As a vintage piece from circa 2000, we cannot guarantee current water resistance without a recent pressure test. Treat it as splash‑resistant only and avoid swimming or showering unless it has been freshly tested and sealed.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can it be resized? A: This specific watch fits wrists up to 16 cm. The bracelet can be shortened by removing links. If you need additional length, extra Clipper links are sometimes available on the secondary market; we’re happy to advise on sourcing.
Q: Are the gold elements solid gold? A: No. The watch is primarily stainless steel with gold‑plated (gold‑tone) accents. This creates the two‑tone look without the weight and cost of solid gold. To preserve the finish, avoid harsh abrasives and polishing compounds.
Q: How do I set the time and date? A: Gently pull the crown to the first click to quick‑set the date, and to the second click to set the time. Avoid changing the date between roughly 9 pm and 3 am to protect the mechanism. Push the crown back in firmly after adjustments.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: This listing is “watch only” (no accessories). It is fully authenticated by A Retro Tale and delivered securely.
Q: Is there a warranty or aftercare recommendation? A: A Retro Tale provides a 12‑month warranty covering the movement’s mechanical function. For aftercare, replace the battery every 2–3 years and have the seals checked; if you plan to use the watch near water, request a pressure test first.
