Hermès - Clipper - 没有保留价 - CL4.220 - 中性 - 1990-1999

Introduction

The Hermes Clipper is one of the most iconic sports-elegant timepieces from the storied French maison. Inspired by the porthole design of luxury yachts, the Clipper features a distinctive bezel with visible screws and a refined two-tone bracelet that has become a signature of the collection. This particular example combines stainless steel with gold-plated accents, offering timeless versatility for both formal and casual wear.

Historical & Collector Value

Launched by Hermes in 1981, the Clipper collection quickly became a symbol of the maison's entry into serious horology. The nautical-inspired design with the trademark H-link bracelet has attracted collectors worldwide, particularly the vintage two-tone references from the 1990s. As Hermes has gradually refined and repositioned its watchmaking division, earlier Clipper models such as this one have grown increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate authentic vintage Hermes craftsmanship. The cream dial with brown Arabic numerals in the distinctive Hermes typography represents one of the most recognizable dial designs of the era.
