Every week, Boss Hunting’s editors spend far too much time scouring the web: in search of the coolest gear, food & drink deals, and destinations worth trekking to across the globe.

In this week’s edition of Good Finds, we’ve got an all-new vintage Champagne from Krug, a few elevated leather work bags, an unforgettable anniversary watch, and more.


Krug 2013

Dubbed ‘Exalted Citrus’ by the Krug Tasting Committee for its tangy expression of a cool, rainy year, Krug 2013 is a vintage that is dominated by citrus in all its forms, bringing with it notes of lemon, blood orange, grapefruit, and tangerine.

On Saturday, April 18, Olivier Krug, a sixth-generation member of the Krug family, presents the Australian debut at Bennelong, alongside Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition.

Exclusive to just thirty guests and with an unforgettable Sydney Harbour backdrop, the launch event also includes canapés by Peter Gilmore (which wouldn’t be complete without that famous suckling pig sausage roll).

Event details: Saturday 18 April, 3.30 PM to 4.30 PM, $330 per person


Oroton Work Bags

If you’re looking to upgrade that backpack you got as a Christmas gift a few years back, Oroton’s latest menswear collection arrives with elevated work bags, spacious weekenders, and structured totes that are built with smart compartments and strong silhouettes.

Designed for anyone navigating work, travel, and everyday life without too much fanfare, there’s also a line-up of compact wallets and secure zip cases to lock down your EDC in style. The palette runs from Dark Chocolate to Husk Brown, while the range of pebbled or smooth leathers gives some textural scope, coming together for a clean balance of form and function.


Raymond Weil The Fifty

Very few watch brands make it to their 50th anniversary, but that’s exactly what the folks at Raymond Weil are celebrating in 2026.

To mark the occasion, the (relatively) young independent watchmaker has announced the arrival of The Fifty, a chronograph that’s powered by an original 1976 Valjoux Calibre 23-6, bringing a touch of vintage complication to a more modern form.

Cased in 37mm of stainless steel and fitted with a tone-on-tone white gold bezel, the two-register chronograph dial is delightfully detailed in a sector format, featuring a central stamped “tapestry” motif. The real hero is the movement, however, which has been beautifully finished and boasts details like black ruthenium-treated and Côtes de Genève-decorated chronograph bridges and balance cocks, blued screws, and polished moving parts.


UNIQLO x JW ANDERSON Autumn/Winter Collection

Nine years in, and Jonathan Anderson is still making office basics covetable. The UNIQLO x JW Anderson Fall/Winter 2025 collection takes inspiration from British fieldwear, infusing it with preppy, dressed-down ease to offer a ranging collection that includes everything from a Lambswool Polo Sweater to relaxed baggy-leg jeans and beyond.

Oxford shirts return in fresh colours, both classic and considered, while the cropped PUFFTECH jacket is light enough to forget you’re wearing it. Priced $10 to $150, the collection fuses British heritage with Japanese precision in another winning line-up.


Talisker Magma 47-Year-Old

Nearly half a century in the making, Talisker’s Magma 47-Year-Old represents something of a departure from convention. The distillery has abandoned traditional open-flame methods in favour of intensely heated volcanic rocks sourced directly from the Isle of Skye, rotating barrels around them to toast the interior without direct contact with the staves.

The absence of combustion develops notable depth, with deeper fruit, greater complexity, an elemental balance of sweet smoke, mineral salinity and warming spice. Presented in sculptural recycled glass that fades from clear to black, only 632 bottles will be released, cementing it as a proper collector’s whisky.
