Every week, Boss Huntingโ€™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 weekโ€™s edition of Good Finds, weโ€™ve got a grip of Jetstar sales (both domestic and international), a great leather jacket plug going into autumn, the latest โ€œall-in-oneโ€ perpetual calendar by Audemars Piguet, and much more.

GRAPE @ RIEDEL โ€˜Spritz Drinksโ€™ Glassware

Good Finds

Unsurprisingly, Riedel featured prominently in our recent decanter-themed buyerโ€™s guide, but itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve grappled with their stemware offering. Varied in application, and with a range of prices to suit multiple budgets, Riedel glasses are as popular as ever โ€“ with good reason.

Assuming you want to be efficient with the specific glassware youโ€™re buying, the โ€˜GRAPE @ Riedelโ€™ collection is a good place to begin. Launched last September, the range has been designed specifically to excel at both wine and cocktails.

There are a total of three styles to choose from, the most versatile of which is the white wine/Champagne variety. Combining a flat-bottom shape and bowl thatโ€™s more than two centimetres high, these are a universal glass in all but name.

Acne Studios Semi-Shine Leather Jacket

What better way to farewell summer, and usher in the official arrival of outerwear weather, than with a choice leather jacket recommendation?

This particular Good Finds inclusion comes to us from Scandi fashion stalwart Acne Studios: whoโ€™ve long staked their reputation on denim, coats, and edgily executed accessories.

All things considered, this is a fairly conventional effort from the house (which, to be clear, is a compliment). Inspired by A2 flight jackets, the style is crafted in moss-coloured lambskin โ€“ a premium material thatโ€™s elevated by the lack of extraneous detailing.

We particularly love the side pockets, which have been cut to sit on the jacketโ€™s seams so that they virtually disappear when not in use. 

Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 Perpetual Calendar

One of three high-profile perpetual calendar models Audemars Piguet has released in time for its 150th anniversary, Iโ€™ve chosen to chuck this watch into Good Finds because it, inexplicably, manages to do the impossible โ€“ make the Code 11.59 an object of desire. 

Along with its commemorative Royal Oak siblings, the Ref. 26494BC is powered by a new generation of perpetual calendar movement โ€“ the first in Audemars Piguetโ€™s history to be capable of crown-only adjustment. 

To compound this victory lap, youโ€™ve got a refinement of the (already updated) Code 11.59 design language. The dialโ€™s radial blue PVD decoration yields a great canvas for the classic four-register calendar layout. Better still, 150 will be made with a unique โ€˜Audemars Piguetโ€™ signature in cursive โ€“ a nod to historic documents of the House and, you guessed it, APโ€™s 150th birthday.

Cross โ€˜Townsendโ€™ Classic Black Lacquer Rollerball Pen

Good Finds

Our colleague Garry Lu first encountered this choice bit of stationary while signing an NDA at a Samsung tech briefing (of all places). And despite the credible impression the brandโ€™s Galaxy S25 Ultra made, the only thing heโ€™s talked about consistently after the factโ€ฆ is this pen.

As it turns out, thereโ€™s a reason for that. This particular rollerball is made by American outfit Cross: a fan favourite with multiple US presidents that is renowned for its seamless hand-feel and 23-karat gold hardware.

โ€œItโ€™s remarkably well-balanced,โ€ says Garry. โ€œThe glide on paper is unbelievable. Pure sex.โ€ Fair play to him, I suppose.

Jetstarโ€™s โ€˜Takeoff Moreโ€™ Sale (ending Monday, March 3rd)

Good Finds

Another month, another possibly too-good-to-be-true Jetstar fire sale. As you can imagine, the appeal here is all about sheer savings.

Until March 3rd, 11:59 PM (AEDT), travellers can nab a range of domestic and international flight deals โ€“ the most B.H.-worthy of which weโ€™ve taken the liberty of collating below. Blackout dates apply.
