Can an Apple Watch charger be used directly on a 240V outlet?

I am going to Germany in a couple of days and wonder if my Apple Watch can be charged by directly connecting the USB charger to a 240V outlet. Do I need to use a transformer to get the voltage down to 120V on the USB side?

Thanks

Apple Watch, iOS 9.2.1

For confirmation, see the adapter's Certification Label:

Input 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.15A

For example:

Hi

Yes it can - you do not need a transformer. The adapter can be used with 120V and 240V outlets.
