A guide for this piece: about $2,538, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

An Hermès Dressage Moonphase in an 18K gold cushion case, limited to 200 pieces worldwide, with an automatic movement, a date hand and a moon-phase dial, boxed with its papers.
The Piece
Hermès began in Paris in 1837 as a harness workshop, and its Dressage watch, introduced in 1998, takes its name from the discipline of horse training.
The Dressage is a cushion-shaped watch, here in 18K gold with a white dial signed Hermès Paris and circled Arabic numerals. A scale of dates runs around the inner ring, read by a red-tipped hand, and a moon-phase aperture sits at six. The sapphire back shows the automatic movement.
The watch is running and its previous owner finds no marked scratches or stains. It comes with the box, the warranty card, the Dressage booklets and a wooden winding box, which was not tested. The photographs cover the dial, both sides on the strap, the movement and the contents of the box.
