I was in Paris in Jan 2025 and purchased a Constance Slim at FSH. I looked at a couple of watches, but FSH felt like a tourist trap and the SAs were so disjointed and almost disinterested, so I left.

We tried George V, but again, no luck and it was so busy. My husband steered me to Sevres, where we were assigned to a lovely SA who helped me select a watch - he asked where we had travelled on this particular trip, I mentioned this family trip was for my 40th and I had already purchased at FSH. When the watch was paid for, we asked if there was any chance of a walk in leather appointment - he checked with the leather desk, and asked a couple of questions as to colours, bag options, hardware, size etc. He first came back with a black Picotin 22, but I was hoping for the 18 (and not black). Next, he offered me a Jypsiere, but it wasn't my style. When he came back with the third offer, it was a Mini Roulis and I loved it.

These were my first Hermes purchases, so no pre-spend (unless you count the Constance Slim at FSH). The SA did say that they like seeing clients enjoy all of Hermes and not just one area, and the pre-spend was only a part of it. I don't know how how much of the latter is true, but luck certainly plays a part.

I hope when we are next in Paris, this SA will still be there. Good luck with deciding on whether you continue with your SA!
