Philipp Plein The Hexagon

Philipp Plein The Hexagon is a women's watch collection from the German-Italian fashion house Philipp Plein, a brand founded by Philipp Plein in Munich in 1998 and known for its unapologetically bold aesthetic — heavy use of crystal embellishment, skull motifs, and a visual language that sits firmly at the intersection of fashion and streetwear luxury. The Hexagon translates that attitude into a distinctly shaped case, making the geometry of the watch itself the centrepiece rather than a secondary detail.

What the hexagonal case means for how the watch wears

A hexagonal case is a deliberate departure from the round or tonneau shapes that dominate women's dress watches. The six-sided form sits differently on the wrist — it reads as more architectural and fashion-forward than a classical round dial, and it tends to suit wearers who treat a watch as an outfit component rather than a background accessory. Case size matters here: a hexagon with a wider flat-to-flat measurement will read bolder, while a more compact version can feel closer to a bracelet-watch hybrid. Because the shape itself draws the eye, dial decoration — crystal indices, a sunray finish, contrasting subdials — tends to be layered on top rather than used as the sole point of interest.

Philipp Plein The Hexagon in our selection

The pieces in this collection are analogue women's watches, priced from around £450 to approximately £600, making them accessible entry points into the Philipp Plein world without reaching the upper tiers of the brand's range. At that price point, the watches use quartz movements — reliable, low-maintenance, and well-suited to a fashion-led piece where the case design carries more weight than movement heritage. If you are drawn to other Philipp Plein silhouettes, the brand also offers the Philipp Plein Plein Couture and the Philipp Plein Nobile Racing lines, each with a distinct visual character.

Is Philipp Plein a luxury watch brand?

Philipp Plein occupies the upper end of fashion-watch pricing rather than the traditional Swiss luxury tier. The brand does not have the movement manufacture heritage of a Swiss maison, but it competes on visual impact and brand identity. Shoppers who prioritise horological craft tend to look elsewhere; those who want a watch that makes an immediate visual impression — and signals a specific fashion sensibility — find the positioning well-matched to that intent. For Swiss-movement alternatives at a comparable price, designer watches and Swiss Made watches are worth comparing. For more options aimed at women specifically, the women's watches section covers a wide range of styles and brands.
