Luxury gear drops like these don’t just tempt your wallet — they test your self-control in the best possible way. This week’s lineup blends heritage automobiles, cutting-edge watch tech, and fashion-forward collaborations in a way that’s going to make collectors, runners, and design nerds all argue over which piece is the real standout.
Every week, the editors at Boss Hunting dive deep into the internet’s corners to uncover standout products, travel-worthy locations, and deals worth sharing with the crew. From rare classic cars to innovative home objects and limited-edition sneakers, the goal is simple: find things that actually spark excitement, not just fill space.
In this edition of Good Finds, the spotlight lands on BMW’s first-ever “M” series car, a surprisingly high-tech accessory for Audemars Piguet’s Perpetual Calendar owners, a fresh HOKA collaboration with Dover Street Market, and a few more gems that might just send you down a rabbit hole of research. And this is the part most people miss: some of these pieces are not just purchases, they’re conversation starters and potentially serious collectibles.
1972 BMW 3.0 CSL Werks Development Car
If you’re into cars, you know that historically important “firsts” are almost impossible to get your hands on — especially from the last 50 years. That’s what makes this discovery so wild: a genuine piece of BMW motorsport history has surfaced, and it’s up for sale.
Dylan Miles is offering the very first M-series car ever built by BMW: the 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL Werks Development Car. Finished in a striking blue, orange, and cream livery, it’s not just pretty to look at; its documented history backs its status as what many would call the “holy grail” of BMWs. Collectors might debate which BMW truly deserves that title, but there’s no question this one sits near the very top of the list.
The car, designated E9/R1, is described as the original BMW “M” car and the first CSL used to test and develop the legendary “Batmobile” aerodynamic kit. It is the first of 21 Werks CSL examples and one of only 11 cars campaigned by the official factory team, now presented in exceptional condition with thoroughly documented provenance and continuous ownership records from new. But here’s where it gets controversial: in a market where “special” cars appear every week, does this level of originality and factory history justify the premium it will inevitably command?
In classic collector fashion, the asking price is available only on application, which usually signals a number that makes even seasoned enthusiasts take a deep breath. Would you rather spread that kind of money across a whole collection, or put it all into one historically significant car?
Studio Douze Degrés Flare 40
Recent editions of Good Finds have gone hard on unique lighting, from practical portable lamps to playful seasonal pieces. This week, the theme continues — but with a design object that feels more like modern art than just another lamp.
The Flare 40 by Studio Douze Degrés takes one of humanity’s oldest tools — fire — and reframes it through a contemporary design lens. By pairing an open flame with a carefully engineered optical lens, it transforms a simple flicker into a dramatic, sculptural light effect. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t just illuminate a room; it becomes the focal point of it.
For design lovers, this raises an interesting question: when does functional lighting cross the line into collectable art? And would you actually use something like this every day, or treat it as a showpiece reserved for special evenings?
Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar Setting & Winding Box
Owning an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar already puts you in rarefied company. It’s one of those watches that signals both taste and serious financial commitment. Yet even ultra-wealthy collectors share one very relatable problem: keeping a perpetual calendar properly set can be fiddly, time-consuming, and stressful.
To solve this, Audemars Piguet has developed the Perpetual Calendar Setting and Winding Box, first revealed in prototype form at Dubai Watch Week. This device uses computer vision to “read” the positions of the hands on your watch dial and an AI-driven system to guide its electromechanical components. The result: it automatically adjusts your watch’s indications to the correct settings without you needing to touch a single pusher.
The process is simple on the user’s end. You place your Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar inside the roughly 2kg box, close the lid, and let the mechanism work for about five minutes while it brings everything into alignment. For collectors who rotate between multiple complicated watches, this kind of automation is both practical and oddly satisfying — almost like a high-end ritual.
However, there’s a catch. The Perpetual Calendar Setting and Winding Box is only now moving into production, which means it won’t be easy to obtain for the time being, and pricing details have yet to be announced. But here’s where it gets controversial: does outsourcing the setting of a high complication to a machine diminish the romance and craftsmanship of owning such a watch, or does it simply make ownership less stressful and more enjoyable? If you own a Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, chances are your Audemars Piguet boutique or contact will let you know as soon as it’s ready.
District Vision x PAF Junya Racer Sunglasses
With summer already in full swing across much of Australia, high-quality sunglasses are no longer just a style choice; they’re a seasonal essential. If you’ve been holding off on buying a new pair, this second collaboration between District Vision and PAF might be the push you needed.
Built around the Junya Racer silhouette, this capsule collection offers three distinct colourways: Blue Gradient, Sports Blue, and Onyx Mirror. Each pair is equipped with custom-cut lenses and lightweight frames, designed to feel comfortable during runs, rides, or long days outdoors while still looking sharp enough to wear to brunch after.
These sunglasses are clearly aimed at people who want performance gear without sacrificing aesthetics. And this is the part most people miss: in many running and cycling circles, eyewear has become as much of a style statement as shoes or watches. Are you choosing your sunglasses for function first, or do you care more about how they’ll look in the next group photo?
HOKA DSM Exclusive Stinson One7
Dover Street Market has built a reputation for curating some of the most interesting sneaker releases in the game, and this latest exclusive with HOKA keeps that streak alive. If you like sneakers that blend performance tech with fashion credibility, this one will be hard to ignore.
The HOKA DSM Exclusive Stinson One7 arrives in a triple-black colourway that manages to be both understated and aggressive at the same time. It features the towering, ultra-cushioned midsole that HOKA fans swear by for comfort, paired with translucent mono mesh uppers that add a modern, technical edge. A 3D-moulded TPU heel clip enhances structure and stability, while a quick speed-lacing system makes getting in and out of them fast and fuss-free.
These will almost certainly disappear from shelves quickly, both because of the limited DSM connection and the popularity of HOKA’s comfort-first design. If you’re lucky enough to secure a pair, you’ll be in good company among fashion-conscious runners and sneakerheads alike. But here’s a thought-provoking angle: are hyper-limited collaborations like this elevating sneaker culture, or just making it harder for everyday fans to get shoes they genuinely want to wear?
Final thought for you: out of everything here — the historic BMW, the AI-powered watch box, the flame-sculpting light, the performance sunglasses, and the DSM-exclusive HOKAs — which one resonates with you the most, and why? Do you think this kind of high-end, design-driven consumer culture is inspiring, excessive, or somewhere in between? Share where you stand — agree, disagree, or challenge the hype entirely.
