HUGO and BOSS: What’s the Difference?
Before we delve into the differences between the two brands, we must note what they have in common. Both brands share the same level of quality, design innovation and sustainability. Hugo and Boss watches also have very similar price points; making them accessible to all. So no matter which you ultimately choose, you can rest assured that one brand is not better than the other. Rather it’s down to personal taste as to which brand people choose to wear.
HUGO Watches
Keeping in tune with current fashion trends, the Hugo line is primarily aimed at younger generations. Hugo watches are renowned for their classic style, brilliant quality and stunning details. As well as this, the watches are about individual accents that reflect the wearers’ uniqueness; losing nothing in translation. Whether you want something more minimalistic or something that makes a statement on the wrist, there is a Hugo watch for all!
HUGO Men’s #IMPRESS | Blue Grey Dial | Stainless Steel Bracelet 1530298
Instilled with a contemporary edge, this men’s model is part of the HUGO #IMPRESS collection. The blue multifunctional dial features grey baton indices and hands as well as an accent black second hand. Reinforcing a modern sense of style, the baton hour marker at 12 o’clock has been replaced by an Arabic numeral. Depicting the date, day and time in 24-hours, the three sub-dials showcase the great levels of functionality that this Hugo possesses. Furthermore, a textured bezel and grey IP stainless steel case frame the dial. Measuring 46mm in diameter, it provides the wearer with a more proportional look. The quartz movement that powers the watch lives inside this case. Precise and reliable it ensures the watch is suitable for daily wear. A grey IP stainless steel bracelet concludes the eye-catching design of this timepiece.
HUGO #CHERISH | Rose Gold Dial | Rose Gold PVD Mesh Bracelet 1540085
Pretty and petite, this women’s model is part of the HUGO #CHERISH collection. Keeping it simple, the rose gold mirror dial exhibits just rose gold hour and minute hands. The only other detail is the ‘HUGO’ logo situated at 12 o’clock. Framing the dial is a 28mm rose gold-plated stainless steel case, so this watch is perfect for women who want something feminine and dainty. Within this case lies the quartz movement that provides the watch with power, and like the men’s model, is extremely reliable. Complementing both the case and dial, a rose gold-plated stainless steel mesh bracelet secures the watch. Not only does it emphasise the model’s sleek style but it also provides great comfort on the wrist. While this watch is suitable for daily wear, it’s only splash-resistant. So before you come into contact with water, make sure to remove it!
BOSS Watches
With more of a classic and refined style, the Boss line is aimed at slightly older demographics. Boss watches, with their intrinsic air of elegant sophistication, create beautiful bridges connecting classic, modern and sporty. As well as this, the watches are tailored to lifestyles where style navigates and precision counts. When it comes to Boss watches, sharp cuts, clean designs and quality materials are always on the agenda!
BOSS Men’s Runner (43mm) Blue Chronograph Dial / Stainless Steel Bracelet 1514143

For a playful pop of colour, the dial features yellow accents on its three sub-dials which showcase the date, the time in 24-hours and a 60-minute counter. A blue rotating bezel and a 43mm stainless steel case frame the dial. They also help contribute to the robust design of the watch. Aided by its crown, this Boss model is water-resistant up to 50 metres (5 bar). This, alongside its quartz movement, make the watch perfect for everyday wear. A three-link stainless steel bracelet, that fastens with a deployment clasp, concludes the design of this sportive accessory.
