Authorized Dealer vs. Secondary Market (Pre-owned): How to Choose Your Hermès Watch

Hermès watches are not mass-produced, so it’s rare to find your desired model readily available at an authorized store. That’s where the secondary market—pre-owned dealers—comes into play.


Here, we’ll explore the advantages and disadvantages of buying from authorized dealers versus secondary market sellers, along with key points to keep in mind for each option.


Advantages and Disadvantages of Buying from an Authorized Dealer

Advantages

  1. Comes with a warranty card, typically offering a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty
  2. Starts off in perfect condition, free from scratches or blemishes
  3. Access to the latest collections and models
  4. Enjoy a special buying experience at the boutique
  5. The unique feeling of starting your own personal story with the watch


Disadvantages

  1. Higher price compared to pre-owned, requiring a larger initial investment
  2. Popular models often have waiting lists and may not be immediately available
  3. Generally harder for new customers to obtain certain models


Advantages and Disadvantages of Buying from the Secondary Market (Pre-owned)

Advantages

  1. Often available at more affordable prices compared to brand-new models
  2. Rare and discontinued models or limited editions can be found
  3. Some dealers offer brand-new or unused watches
  4. Immediate availability of in-stock models
  5. Stable-value models may hold or increase their asset value over time


Disadvantages

  1. Condition and included accessories vary by item
  2. Manufacturer’s warranty may have expired
  3. Risk of counterfeit products
  4. Repair history and internal condition may be unknown


How to Choose a Trustworthy Secondary Market Dealer

While secondary market dealers offer the advantage of immediate purchase when the watch is in stock, concerns about counterfeit products are understandable.


To help you choose a trustworthy secondary market dealer, here are some key points to consider:


There are many dealers selling Hermès watches in the secondary market, but it’s important to verify their reliability by visiting the store in person or contacting them to see if they provide sincere and professional responses.

The Appeal and Value of Discontinued Models

Among Hermès watches, there are some models that have already been discontinued but still enjoy a strong following among enthusiasts. Here, we introduce two of these discontinued models.


Clipper

Discontinued in 2018, the Clipper is known for its simple and refined design that truly reflects the Hermès spirit, making it highly sought-after in the secondary (pre-owned) market.


This model features a round case inspired by the 19th-century large sailing ships called "clippers," with a distinctive porthole design reminiscent of ship windows.


The discontinuation is believed to be influenced by changes in production lines due to a collaboration with Apple Watch and difficulties in sourcing materials.


When available, the simpler models were originally priced in the 200,000 yen range. Currently, on the pre-owned market, prices range roughly from 40,000 to 200,000 yen, depending on condition and materials used.


Tandem

The Tandem model features a case design inspired by the iconic "H" motif and a simple, minimalist dial. It was discontinued in the early 2010s but continues to enjoy popularity in the secondary (pre-owned) market.


The case sides incorporate the shape of the "H," showcasing Hermès’ signature refined design. The dial omits the seconds hand, giving it a stylish and urban appeal.


The discontinuation is believed to be due to the transition to new collections and the reorganization of production lines.


Originally, simple versions were priced around 350,000 yen. On the current secondary market, prices range approximately between 60,000 and 150,000 yen, depending on condition and materials used.


Asset Value of Discontinued Models

Hermès watches hold significant asset value in the secondary (pre-owned) market, thanks to the brand’s prestige and rarity. The following factors especially influence their value:

  1. Rarity: Discontinued models have limited supply, which increases demand among collectors and fans.
  2. Condition: Watches in excellent condition, especially those with original accessories like the box and warranty card, tend to fetch higher prices.
  3. Materials and Design: Models using high-quality materials such as mother-of-pearl or diamonds receive particularly high evaluations.
