Every week, Boss Huntingโs editors spend far too much time scouring the web: in search of the coolest gear, food & drink, and destinations worth trekking to across the globe.
In our latest edition of โGood Findsโ, weโve got the first shaped watch from cult label Serica, a suit bag that will sort you out through long weekends, destination-inspired fragrances by Memo Paris, and much more.

Jacques Soloviรจre โMattโ Derbies
This weekโs footwear recommendation, co-signed by my colleague Andrew, comes to us from Parisian label Jacques Soloviรจre.
The brand has been a favourite among fashion insiders for a few years now, and is best-known for its timeless unisex styles, crafted with a single piece of leather โ much like these โMattโ lace-ups.
Memo Winter Palace Eau De Parfum
Iโve always fancied myself the sort of shopper whoโs more interested in the contents of an object rather than its packaging. So, naturally, itโs doubly hilarious that my first genuine awareness of Memo came after the brandโs elaborately illustrated โWinter Palaceโ scent caught my eye.
The branding is hardly, shall we say subtle, but as it turns out, the elaborate dragon motif and vague liner notes about โthe Great Wall of Chinaโ belie an EDP that is actually complex and difficult to pigeonhole.
Somewhere between an amber and floral citrus in style, expect whiffs of grapefruit, red tea, camphor, and tolu balsam. Underneath all that? An omnipresent, faintly sweet accord of benzoin.
Morrisonโs $24 โHappy Mealโ, Sydney
Given that weโre in that part of the year when most peopleโs wallets are held hostage to the demands of pre-holiday socializing and constant Christmas gifting, Morrisonโs newest dining promo is good news indeed.
Every day from 11:30 AM onwards, the American tavern-inspired specialists in grilled meat and fresh oysters will be serving a โHappy Mealโ of dry Martinis and thin-cut fries โ garnished with a ramekin of the most delicious homemade ketchup Iโve certainly had the pleasure of sampling in the Sydney CBD.
Serica Reference 1174 โParadeโ
As my colleagues James and Nick Kenyon will be the first to tell you: itโs always a good day when a new Serica release drops. This week, the acclaimed French indie label announced its Reference 1174 โ its first attempt at a legit dress watch.
Traveling in the footsteps of watches like the Cartier Baignoire, or even Anomaโs semi-affordable A1, the 1174 employs a stadium-esque case shape and wavy, S-shape guillochรฉ. The latter detail comes alive especially vividly in the โbrassโ model.
Preorders are currently open, with delivery expected to follow in late March 2025.
P Johnson Suit Travel Bag
Clearly inspired by P Johnsonโs best-selling canvas tote โ Iโve had mine for close to three years and am thoroughly enjoying it โ this straightforwardly named โSuit Travelโ bag is a great way to transport delicate tailoring from point A to point B. Or, fulfil the role of an ad hoc weekender.
My favourite detail is the width and depth on all four internal pockets: sized so that, with a bit of strategic placement, you can essentially fit everything you need for an entire outfit into the one carrier.
