Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Grail For Her collection takes Hugo Boss's more directional sub-label, HUGO, into jewellery-adjacent territory — the brief here is clearly a bracelet that also tells the time, not a watch that happens to be pretty. At 36mm the case sits at the upper edge of what reads as fine rather than sporty, and the all-gold execution, from the ionic-plated case through to the link bracelet and textured dial, commits to that register without hedging. The dial carries a logo-pattern texture rather than leaving the gold flat, which gives it something to do under different light without introducing colour. The deployment clasp means the bracelet opens and closes cleanly, which matters more than it sounds on a piece worn as much for how it looks on the wrist as for anything else.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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 comparedCheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
