HERMÈS Vintage Watch "Paprika" (PA1.210)

HERMÈS Vintage Watch "Paprika" (PA1.210)

A small watch with a quiet sense of humour — very much in the spirit of HERMÈS. Founded in Paris in 1837 as a harness workshop, the maison has long brought its own aesthetic to leather and metal alike. The Paprika, with the letter H worked into its case design, remains one of the most loved vintage models.

The stainless steel case measures about 21.5mm excluding the crown. Its hairline finish takes in light gently and keeps small marks from catching the eye — a practical grace for everyday wear. The compact dial settles easily on the wrist.

The strap is original HERMÈS leather, in good condition overall, though the keeper (the loop that holds the strap end) has a tear-related defect — please see the photos. The strap fits wrists up to about 16cm, and additional holes can be punched for adjustment.

For anyone who has been looking for one delicate watch: the kind that shows just slightly from beneath a shirt cuff, adding a quiet refinement to whatever you wear, in any season.
