Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Telly takes its shape from an era when rectangular cases were the mark of a dressed man, then strips that silhouette back to black and rebuilds it as something considerably less polite. The all-black IP treatment runs from case through integrated bracelet without interruption, which is the move that shifts it away from vintage pastiche and into the kind of watch that reads well against both tailoring and raw denim. At 123 grams on the wrist, the bracelet has presence — not heavy enough to be a distraction but substantial enough that you notice the watch is there.

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.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
15.6mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
