Do You Want to Sell Your Hermès Watch?

When one thinks of Hermès, words like high-end French couture usually come to mind. That is why we buy Hermès watches.

This iconic international brand has been immortalised in film and the media, becoming a household name that is synonymous with luxury.

While the brand is one that is more closely related to clothing and fashion, Hermès watch collections have earned their place as one of the world’s best and most desired luxury watches.

Each Hermès watch embodies so much of what makes the brand as famous as it is. The company heritage, craftsmanship, and commitment to exquisite design, all give these watches a certain French character. These exceptional timepieces are carefully created using the finest materials and each is imbued with the soul of a century-old legacy, making them immensely popular among watch buyers the world over.

While you might think that this is a watch that you will own for the rest of your life, circumstances can change, and you might find that your Hermès watch may no longer hold the same place of pride in your collection.

Perhaps you’ve received a new favourite heirloom, or maybe your tastes have simply undergone a dramatic shift. Regardless of your reason, selling your Hermès watch will allow you to recoup its inherent value while also ensuring that it finds a new home where it can continue to be appreciated and enjoyed, something you might like if you hold a lot of sentimentality towards your watch.

The ideal buyer for your Hermès watch is someone who understands and cherishes the same qualities that you did when you first acquired it, someone who recognises the brand’s rich history, it’s dedication to craftsmanship, and the timeless aesthetic that all of these watches tend to have. You could sell your watch to a discerning private watch collector, someone seeking a specific model to complete their set, or a passionate enthusiast looking to add a touch of Parisian luxury to their wrist.

The Fine History of Hermès Watches

The story of Hermès watches begins well over 100 years ago, in 1837, when Thierry Hermès established his saddlery workshop in Paris. At the time, horse and carriage transportation was still very much the norm, and his company thrived after gaining a reputation for excellence.

While initially Hermès started out making saddles and later on clothing, the brand’s journey into the world of watching making only began in the 1920s when Émile Hermès, inspired by the equestrian spirit, attached a leather strap to a pocket watch for his daughter. This seemingly simple act laid the foundation for a legacy of exceptional wristwatches.

Over the decades, Hermès has collaborated with renowned Swiss watchmakers to create iconic timepieces that seamlessly blend that soft but powerful Parisian style with that famous Swiss precision. From the classic Cape Cod to the sporty Clipper, each watch is an example of the brand’s unshakeable commitment to quality watches made with a timeless design.

Why is a Hermès watch such a great buy?

Who doesn’t want to own a piece of history from one of the world’s most famous and fashionable brands?

Buying a Hermès watch is a one of a kind investment that you won’t regret making. Every Hermès watch is manufactured using only the finest materials and techniques, to perfectly showcase the brand’s dedication to ensuring that those who become Hermès watch owners get the watch they have always dreamed of.

There are a couple of factors that make a Hermès watch such a great buy, no matter what design you opt for.  To start with, each watch has a truly incredible design. Hermès watches transcend all current trends, ensuring that buyers get to enjoy a classic elegance that endures for generations, making these watches the ideal heirloom.

Hermès watches are carried by a fantastic heritage. Owning a Hermès watch is an opportunity to connect with the brand’s storied history and legacy of excellence. It is also a chance to show off a little bit. When those around you hear you have a Hermès watch they are bound to be impressed.

Hermès watches also have a lot of investment potential. Due to their somewhat limited production and the fact that each has the sort of design that stays in fashion no matter how many years go by, many Hermès watches appreciate in value over time. By the time you hope to sell your timepiece, it is bound to have grown in financial value and as such will fetch a pretty price.

We Buy Hermès Watches

At Topwatch, we’ve spent years learning all there is to know about all kinds of luxury watches, including the always beautiful Hermès watch. As such an iconic brand, Hermès watches are generally well priced even when sold second hand.

When we are looking to buy a Hermès watch, we follow a certain process, one that ensures both parties benefit.

We start by giving the watch a complete physical evaluation; we look at the condition of the outer casing as well as the finer, inner mechanisms. We look for general wear and tear, and issues with the functioning of the watch. We also look at the model and the age of the watch, as those vintage pieces are often a lot more valuable than commonly found Hermès watches.

We always strive to give our clients the best possible price for their watch.

If you are considering selling your Hermès watch, we at Topwatch are very much interested in buying it. Our high standards mean we are committed to offering a fair, competitive price, ensuring you receive the value your watch deserves.
