Q: What is the Hermès Clipper 24mm Ref. CL4.220 (circa 2010)? A: It’s a petite, Swiss‑made Hermès wristwatch featuring a 24mm stainless‑steel case with a gold‑plated bezel, a black dial with a date window, and a two‑tone bracelet with signature H‑links. This specific piece (serial 1466860) is from around 2010 and offers elegant everyday wear in a refined size.
Q: Is this model quartz or automatic? A: Quartz. The CL4.220 series is typically powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement (commonly the ETA 956.112), delivering accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance compared to mechanical watches.
Q: Does it have a scratch‑resistant crystal? A: Yes. Clipper models in this generation are fitted with a sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches for day‑to‑day use.
Q: Is the watch water‑resistant? A: The CL4.220 was originally rated to approximately 30 metres. As with all vintage/older pieces, we cannot guarantee water resistance without a recent pressure test. We recommend treating it as splash‑resistant only and avoiding swimming, showering or full submersion.
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; push the crown back in firmly after adjustments. Avoid changing the date between about 9pm and 3am to protect the mechanism.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: This watch is currently sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 17cm. The H‑link bracelet can be sized down by removing links. Additional links are not included with this piece, but can often be sourced separately if you need extra length.
Q: Is the bezel or bracelet solid gold? A: No. The bezel and select H‑links are gold‑plated over stainless steel. While durable, plating can show wear on high‑contact areas over time; avoid abrasive polishing and harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: Very Good overall, with light traces of use. There are surface scratches noted on the case, case back and bracelet consistent with careful wear. Please review the photos for details.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing and what maintenance is recommended? A: Typical battery life for this movement is around 2–4 years depending on use. Have batteries replaced by a professional and request gasket checks at the same time. A routine service every few years helps ensure long‑term reliability.
Q: What’s included, and is it authentic with a warranty? A: This listing includes the original Hermès box and booklet. As with all our pieces, A Retro Tale guarantees 100% authenticity and provides a 12‑month warranty covering the movement’s mechanical function.
