Q: What is the Hermès Clipper 24mm Ref. CL4.230? A: A petite 24mm stainless-steel ladies’ watch from Hermès’ Clipper line, inspired by nautical portholes. This example features a white mother‑of‑pearl dial with guilloché pattern, a diamond‑set bezel, and a matching stainless‑steel “H‑link” bracelet. Swiss made.
Q: Is this model quartz or automatic? A: The CL4.230 is powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, offering accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance compared with mechanical watches. As a general guide, quartz batteries typically last around 2–3 years before replacement is needed.
Q: Does it have a scratch‑resistant crystal? A: Yes. The CL4.230 is fitted with a scratch‑resistant crystal (commonly sapphire on this reference), providing excellent clarity and durability for daily wear.
Q: Is the watch water‑resistant? A: Many CL4.230 examples were originally rated to 30 metres. However, as a vintage piece, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without a recent pressure test. We recommend treating it as splash‑resistant only and avoiding swimming or showering unless the seals have been professionally checked.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: This watch is currently sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 15.5 cm (or smaller). The bracelet can be shortened by removing links; additional links to increase size may be sourced separately, subject to availability.
Q: Are the diamonds factory‑set by Hermès? A: Yes. The CL4.230 exists in variants with a bezel set with 12 diamonds, and this piece features a factory Hermès diamond bezel, lending subtle jewellery‑like brilliance to the watch.
Q: How do I set the time (and date, if present)? A: Gently pull the crown out to the hand‑setting position to adjust the time, then push it back in to resume running. Some CL4.230 variants include a date at 3 o’clock; if yours has one, pull the crown to the first position for the quick‑set date and avoid changing the date between 9 pm and 3 am.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: This example comes as a full set with its original box (and accompanying accessories/paperwork as shown in the listing photos). All items from A Retro Tale are thoroughly authenticated for your peace of mind.
Q: What is the condition of this specific watch? A: It is graded Very Good, showing light traces of wear consistent with age. Expect minor surface scratches on the case, case back and bracelet; please review the photos for a close look.
Q: How should I care for it? A: Replace the battery when the seconds hand begins to jump or the watch stops, and have water‑resistance seals checked if you plan to expose it to moisture. Avoid strong magnets and store the watch in its box when not in use to protect the dial and crystal.
