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 a grip of Jetstar sales (both domestic and international), a great leather jacket plug going into autumn, the latest “all-in-one” perpetual calendar by Audemars Piguet, and much more.

GRAPE @ RIEDEL ‘Spritz Drinks’ Glassware
Unsurprisingly, Riedel featured prominently in our recent decanter-themed buyer’s guide, but it’s been a while since I’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 – with good reason.
Assuming you want to be efficient with the specific glassware you’re buying, the ‘GRAPE @ Riedel’ 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 that’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: who’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 – a premium material that’s elevated by the lack of extraneous detailing.
We particularly love the side pockets, which have been cut to sit on the jacket’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, I’ve chosen to chuck this watch into Good Finds because it, inexplicably, manages to do the impossible – 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 – the first in Audemars Piguet’s history to be capable of crown-only adjustment.
To compound this victory lap, you’ve got a refinement of the (already updated) Code 11.59 design language. The dial’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 ‘Audemars Piguet’ signature in cursive – a nod to historic documents of the House and, you guessed it, AP’s 150th birthday.
Cross ‘Townsend’ Classic Black Lacquer Rollerball Pen
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 brand’s Galaxy S25 Ultra made, the only thing he’s talked about consistently after the fact… is this pen.
As it turns out, there’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.
“It’s remarkably well-balanced,” says Garry. “The glide on paper is unbelievable. Pure sex.” Fair play to him, I suppose.
Jetstar’s ‘Takeoff More’ Sale (ending Monday, March 3rd)
