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 movement powers the Hermès Clipper CL4.210? A: The CL4.210 is typically powered by a Swiss quartz movement (ETA 955.412) with a date display. This reliable calibre is well known and widely supported by watchmakers.
Q: Which battery does it use and how will I know it needs changing? A: It uses a silver‑oxide cell size SR920SW (often referred to as 371). When the battery is low, the movement signals end‑of‑life by making the seconds hand jump in four‑second steps—simply book a battery replacement with a qualified watchmaker.
Q: Is this watch water resistant? A: When new, CL4.210 models are commonly listed at 30 metres (3 ATM). As a vintage piece, seals may have aged and water resistance is not guaranteed without a current pressure test—treat it as splash‑resistant only and avoid swimming or showering unless it has been freshly tested.
Q: Will it fit my wrist and can the bracelet be adjusted? A: The bracelet on this piece is approximately 16.5 cm in circumference. The compact 24 mm case suits smaller wrists; many owners wear this size comfortably around 14–16 cm. The H‑link bracelet can be sized by adding or removing links—your local jeweller or watchmaker can adjust it using push‑pins. Extra links can often be sourced on the pre‑owned market if needed.
Q: Is the CL4.210 still in production? A: No. The Clipper line has been discontinued, so examples are available only pre‑owned.
Q: Is this considered a ladies’ watch or unisex? A: The 24 mm Clipper was traditionally sold as a ladies’ size, but it wears well on any wrist that prefers a compact, elegant case—style is personal.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes a dust bag and a watch cushion. Everything included is listed under the product information; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès Clipper? A: Keep it dry, wipe it with a soft cloth after wear, avoid chemicals and strong magnets, and have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker. If you need water resistance, request fresh seals and a pressure test before exposure to water.
Q: How does A Retro Tale ensure authenticity? A: Each watch is verified by our specialists through multi‑point checks of materials, dial and case details, engravings, bracelet, and movement. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share further product information on request.
