The piece in detail

The Kelly Watch is the Kelly bag reduced to its one unmistakable part. In 1975 Hermès took the turnkey padlock that closes the bag — the cadenas, with its plate and its swing-up shackle — and made it the watch case, hung from the strap the way the lock hangs from the sangles. Nothing else the house makes is recognised so quickly from across a room, and nothing else sits on the wrist quite like it: the case swings a little as you move, which is the point. This is the Mini, 16 mm, reference W408486WW00, and it is the diamond-set version on a steel bracelet. Twenty-four brilliant-cut diamonds (0.151 ct) frame the padlock case, a single diamond sits on the spangled white-lacquered dial, and the steel plate on the bracelet carries four more (0.032 ct). Swiss-made quartz movement, hours and minutes, anti-glare sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 3 bar. The single-tour steel bracelet is delivered at the 160 mm wrist size and can be adjusted; being steel rather than leather, it will outlast any strap. The padlock detaches and comes with its black Barenia calfskin lanyard, so the watch can be worn as a pendant as well as on the wrist. Store fresh from the boutique, 2026, never worn. Complete: wooden presentation box, lanyard, papers and the orange box. At Hermès this reference is £5,400; here it is £3,780, sourced below boutique retail, and available now rather than on a list. The Kelly Watch is not a quota piece, but the diamond-set steel Mini is allocated in small numbers and the London boutiques are usually between deliveries. Every piece is checked by hand before it is offered. View it at our Chelsea Harbour showroom, seven days a week, or reserve it with a deposit and we will deliver it insured anywhere in the UK.
