Hermès Clipper

Sometimes, all you want is a handsome, do-it-all, everyday watch that can perform admirably in a variety of situations. Something unfussy yet good-looking, sturdy yet elegant that won’t break the bank. And all the better if it’s from a respectable, well-established brand.

The Hermès Clipper is one such watch.

Launched in 1981, the Clipper has since launched several sub-collections — and though it’s not part of the current Hermès collection, this certainly hasn’t diminished its appeal. Housed in a 39mm stainless steel case with a ‘riveted’ bezel, a sapphire crystal, and a signed crown, it features a silvered dial with luminous hour markers; applied ‘Arabic’ indices; a lumed ‘sword’ handset; and a handy date window at 3 o’clock.

Powered by the workhorse, Swiss-made Sellita SW300 automatic movement and paired to a brown leather strap with white contrast stitching, the excellently sized, sporty Clipper is an excellent choice for day-in, day-out wear. But don’t just take our word for it — come try it on for size and see for yourself!

Though Hermès may be known more for its gorgeous scarves and Birkin bags, more recent years have seen the French luxury house branch out into serious watchmaking.

The maison began a furious push to vertically integrate in 2006, purchasing a 25% stake in movement maker Vaucher; this was followed by the purchase in 2012 of a dial manufacturer and a case maker in 2013. The results have been some of the most stunning timepieces of the past decade, including the gorgeous Slim d’Hermès with its unique, cut-out typeface, and the Arceau L’Heure De La Lune moonphase. From entry-level dress watches such as the Galop d’Hermès — designed by American industrial designer Ini Archibong — to GPHG-winning creations such as the Arceau Robe du Soir, the maison has more than proven its horological savoir faire.
