2 months ago | bosshunting.com.au | Jack Slade

In an era when the luxury watch landscape continues to evolve at a fascinating pace, Rolex has unveiled what could only be described as its most significant horological statement in over a decade: the Land-Dweller. While the Crown’s new integrated-bracelet offering will undoubtedly dominate conversations among the cashmere-clad cognoscenti at Watches & Wonders 2025, there’s far more here than meets the eye.

2 months ago | bosshunting.com.au | Jack Slade

The late ‘80s were a riot of neon and excess, a time when travel meant adventure, not just efficiency. It was in this heady era—1988, to be precise—that RIMOWA first unleashed ‘der Reisekoffer für junge Leute,’ or, in slightly less poetic English, ‘the suitcase for young people.’ It was light, it was casual, and, most notably, it was bright.

Sitting in the Adrenaline Lounge at Sydney’s SailGP, it’s clear Mike Buckley has always been drawn to the thrill of the chase—whether it’s the wind slicing through the wings of a high-performance F50 catamaran or the pursuit of a partnership that could change the face of his sport.

What It’s Like To Be A Zombie In Kia’s Electrifying New Ad

Jan 19, 2025 | bosshunting.com.au | Jack Slade

It’s 42 degrees, and I’m in a parking lot in Sydney’s west. A zombie shuffles past, its decayed face dripping in sweat under the Australian sun. Around me, an entire suburban carpark has been transformed into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Cars are abandoned, an empty shopping trolley rolls by, and a production assistant walks past dropping leaves on the ground. It’s not every day you find yourself on the set of a zombie film—let alone as one of the undead extras.
This $25,000 TV Is The Coolest Piece Of Kit I've Used All Year

Dec 18, 2024 | bosshunting.com.au | Jack Slade

I’ve been lucky enough to play with some pretty outrageous toys in my time. From million-dollar timepieces to some of the fastest cars in the world, it’s rare I’m blown away by a piece of kit. But nothing quite prepared me for the sheer scale of the Hisense 110UX. A 110-inch, $25,000 beast of a television that sets a new benchmark in home cinema size.
I Became A Dad This Year, These Are The Baby Products I Can’t Live Without

Nov 27, 2024 | bosshunting.com.au | Jack Slade

A little over seven months ago, my life transformed in the best possible way and I became the second dad in the BH office. Gone are the carefree pub crawls, sleep-ins, and spontaneous weekends. Instead, my days now revolve around nappies, naps, and endless giggles. It’s a wild ride, but as someone who was a little on the fence beforehand, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. As any new parent knows, navigating the minefield of baby advice from friends, family, and forums can feel overwhelming.

When the Boomers took the court at the Paris Olympics, Dyson Daniels realised a dream that had consumed him since childhood. For the 21-year-old guard from Bendigo, Victoria, representing his country on the grandest stage in sports was the culmination of years of sweat, sacrifice, and a singular focus. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a lot of people,” Daniels reflects, the gravity of the experience still fresh in his mind.
