Hugo Boss Violet 21mm Black Dial Ladies Watch
Ref. 1502875
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 191 Hugo Boss watches in stock.At 21mm square, this sits closer to a bracelet than a conventional watch face — the gold PVD case reads as jewellery on the wrist, and that appears to be exactly what it was designed to do. The black dial with crystal hour markers gives enough contrast to tell the time without pulling the piece away from its decorative purpose. The integrated mesh bracelet is well-suited to that intention: the fine links lie flat and move with the wrist, and the fold-over clasp keeps the profile clean from every angle.

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.
