Hermès - Médor - ME.1201 - Women - 1995

Splendid and iconic Hermès “Médor” secret wristwatch (Reference ME1.201), a true piece of history from the Parisian haute couture house. Introduced in the 1990s, this model draws its style from the famous dog collars and belts with pyramid studs (Clous de Paris) that the Maison has been making since the 1930s.
The watch takes the form of a striking rigid bracelet: the central pyramid stud opens with a snap via a perfectly functioning spring, revealing an elegant, minimalist white dial with gold-tone hands.
* Year of production: 1995 (Identified by the official Hermès “Y in a circle” stamp on the back of the leather strap).
* Case: Square, yellow-gold plated, with a polished finish and a satin-finished back. Approximate dimensions: 23 mm x 23 mm (excluding lugs and stud).
* Case back: Stainless steel, bearing the Hermès coat-of-arms logo, the wording “Water Resistant / Swiss,” and the individually engraved serial number: 697484.
* Movement: Swiss quartz (Swiss Made).
* Strap: Fine dark leather with a geometric lizard-style embossed/printed pattern, embellished with two smaller gold-plated pyramid studs and an original Hermès-logo pin buckle.
* Overall condition: Excellent vintage condition. Shows light, normal signs of age-related wear on the plating and case back (superficial micro-scratches, visible in the photos). The inner leather shows its natural patina from age but remains sturdy and structurally sound. The mechanism and spring snap function perfectly.
