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: Is this the wide Clic Clac H model and how wide is it? A: Yes. The Clic Clac H is the wide Hermès enamel bracelet. This piece measures approximately 2 cm in width, in line with Hermès’ wide specification (around 0.79 in).
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: The inner circumference suits wrists around 16–16.5 cm based on our product information. As a guide, Hermès offers Clic H/Clic Clac H in two sizes: PM with a 6 cm diameter (about 16 cm circumference) and GM with a 6.5 cm diameter (about 17 cm circumference). If you prefer a looser fit above roughly 16.5–17 cm, GM generally offers more room.
Q: How do I open and close the H clasp safely? A: Slide the bracelet over your wrist, gently press the two ends together to close, then rotate the H so it sits straight. To remove it, rotate the H and allow the hinge to open with light pressure—avoid twisting or forcing the mechanism.
Q: Is the hardware solid gold? A: No. The Clic Clac H features gold‑plated metal hardware paired with glossy enamel; it is not solid gold.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool or during exercise? A: It’s best to remove it. Hermès advises keeping enamel jewellery away from liquids and heat, and avoiding contact with perfume and cosmetics. Remove before bathing, swimming or sport and dry the piece immediately if it gets wet.
Q: Does the enamel chip or the hardware scratch? A: Enamel is a glass‑based surface and can chip if knocked against hard objects. The metal finish can show micro‑scratches with regular wear, especially on vintage pieces. Store it separately and avoid stacking with heavier bangles to minimise friction.
Q: Can this bracelet be resized or adjusted? A: No. The hinged Clic Clac H has a fixed size and cannot be resized. Selecting the correct Hermès size (PM or GM) is important for comfort.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed in the product information, this bracelet comes with its box. If an item is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: Is it authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, enamelling, engravings and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: Is this a vintage piece and what condition should I expect? A: Yes, this is a vintage bracelet in very good condition. Expect minor marks on the hardware consistent with gentle previous wear; please review the detailed condition notes and photos on this page.
