Hermes watches - Official Thread

I have 2 cape cod watches, An automatic and a quartz one-
The Quartz keeps perfect time, The Automatic probably loses about 3 miniutes a month.
That said I've never had it serviced and owned it about 8 years or so.
They're fantastic watches however and much more reliable for timekeeping than my Rolex (which I have had serviced!)

I didn’t really understand the explanation but a watch repair man told me that if your automatic or manual wind watch runs slow it may need to be demagnetized. He explained something about watches gradually getting magnetized by being placed in frequent contact with electronics like our cell phones and laptops. If you bring it in to be serviced they can demagnetize your watch while you wait. It’s apparently a very simple process. Of course watches run slow for other reasons but he said that was one of the most common reasons behind watches running slow.

I've heard the same and seen it happen esp with friends who've got 'smart homes', they tend to need to demagnetize their watches often and it happens with me as well if i stay a few days so there definitely is some impact from laptops, cell phones etc

Hi my H watch stopped after 2 years 😔
Can I check if we need to bring back store to change battery, any charges or it's ok to get external watch store to change the battery?

Bump to this!

Mine stopped after a year and now I have the same question. Any here can advise? Thank you very much

Don’t have to! I went to change my battery at a regular watch shop.

I was told by my SA and SM that having the watch opened by a third party, means the warrant is no longer valid. Bring it to Hermès and they clean and check the inside and the warrant “re-sets”. Last time I brought mine in for battery change, it was €60. Best to check with your SA.

Oh warranty resets? How long is the warranty? I forgot all about warranty. Haha

I have been wanting this watch for a long time and finally got it! It is beautiful, I really love it. It also has 2 time zones which is handy. They set the other time zone to Paris time for me lol.

I went to my local boutique yesterday and tried on a bunch of different models. Here are my favorites (you can see my "to try" list in the background )View attachment 5995750View attachment 5995751View attachment 5995752View attachment 5995753View attachment 5995754

Are the last two watches (in cape cod) both in 37 larger sizes? Is the third watch in pave silver with light pink strap? Both are so beautiful. 😍

Yes and yes. I was in love with all of them but ended up choosing the Nantucket.

I think it depends on how the light catches it! Here's my special order cape cod with MOP catching the light at different angles:

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but is the buckle also gold? I just ordered mine and I didn’t ask if the buckle would match the rose gold face, i just assumed it would.

When I ordered my à la carte watch in rose gold, its buckle matched the case.

Yes, the buckle matches the case!

When you buy the watch the buckle matches the case. Going forward, if you buy additional straps, you either have to change the buckle from strap to strap, or purchase a matching buckle.
