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 is the Hermès Faubourg Manchette 19mm Ref FG2.110? A: It’s a petite, Swiss‑made Hermès ladies’ watch featuring a 19mm round stainless‑steel case, a taupe leather cuff (Manchette) strap, and a white dial set with a single diamond at 12 o’clock. Powered by a reliable quartz movement, it offers elegant, jewellery‑like presence for day‑to‑night wear. This example is circa 2002 and is a less common cuff‑style configuration.
Q: How does the Manchette cuff design wear and who is it best for? A: The wide leather cuff frames the small case for a refined, bracelet‑like look. It suits slender wrists and anyone who prefers a discreet, minimalist watch that reads as jewellery. The quartz movement keeps it lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the cuff strap be adjusted or replaced? A: This watch fits a wrist of approximately 17cm or smaller as listed. The cuff offers limited adjustment; it cannot be extended beyond 17cm. Replacement or alternative Hermès Faubourg/Manchette straps may be sourced through Hermès or specialist strap makers, but compatibility with the FG2.110 case must be confirmed. Share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise options.
Q: What movement does it use and how long will the battery last? A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years, depending on usage and storage. Please have a professional confirm the exact battery type for this specific watch and replace it, ideally with a seal/gasket check at the same time.
Q: How do I set the time on this quartz watch? A: Gently pull the crown out to the time‑setting position and turn the hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in firmly when finished. This model is typically time‑only (no date), so there’s no date‑setting step.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I wear it in the rain? A: Water resistance on vintage pieces cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming, showering or submersion. Keep the leather cuff away from moisture to preserve its colour and shape. If light moisture resistance is desired, have gaskets inspected and replaced by an authorised watchmaker, and ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
Q: What crystal and materials does it use? A: The case and hardware are stainless steel. Many Faubourg models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal; we can confirm the crystal type on this exact watch upon request. The dial includes a single diamond marker at 12 o’clock.
Q: Is the diamond at 12 o’clock original, and can you verify it? A: Hermès offered Faubourg dials with a single diamond index at 12. We carefully inspect dial details and settings; on request, we can provide close‑up photos and confirm originality for this specific piece. Carat weight is modest and typically not specified for this design.
Q: How should I care for the taupe leather cuff and stainless‑steel case? A: Wipe surfaces with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, perfumes and lotions, which can mark leather and steel. Keep the cuff dry; if conditioning is needed, use a small amount of a neutral leather conditioner and test on an inconspicuous area. Store away from humidity and direct sunlight. Specialist jewellers/watchmakers can polish light steel scratches if desired.
Q: What is the condition, what is included, and what warranty/shipping do you offer? A: Overall condition is Good: the case shows scratches and the leather strap has light wear; internally it shows light traces of use. This listing is delivered with no accessories unless stated.
