Hugo Boss Violet Stainless Steel 21mm Silver Ladies Watch
Ref. 1502873
Sits in Hugo Boss’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Hugo Boss watches we list, which start at £65.
Price range £65 to £399 across 275 Hugo Boss watches in stock.The Violet collection places Hugo Boss squarely in dress-watch territory, with a square case kept to 21mm — small enough to read as jewellery on the wrist rather than as a timepiece competing for attention. At 7.6mm through the case, it sits almost flush against the skin, and the all-silver palette across case, dial and bracelet reads as a single continuous object rather than components assembled together. The Miyota movement inside is a reliable, battery-operated calibre that will run quietly for years without needing attention — appropriate for a watch whose purpose is to disappear into an outfit rather than invite inspection.

Learn more about Hugo Boss
Hugo Boss was founded as a clothing manufacturer in Metzingen in 1924. The modern company is a global fashion house, and its watches are produced under licence by Movado Group.
The watch line reflects the clothing: German minimalism, sparse dials, brushed steel, and a general absence of decoration. Movements are quartz or bought-in automatic. These are not manufacture watches and are not presented as such.
Within the licensed-fashion category, the design discipline is better than most. The dials are legible, the proportions are usually sensible, and the styling holds up rather than dating quickly.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference new, at £199. There is nothing to compare it against today.
Who are Goldsmiths?
