It’s been a while since we posted our last ‘Most Wanted’ feature, but don’t take that to mean our team hasn’t wanted plenty during the interim. On the contrary, the last few months have delivered no shortage of desirable products across every respective category. From swanky Cartier watches to Apple’s new Vision Pro to limited edition Nike boots to Harley Davidson’s electric motorcycle and more, here’s what our writers and founders have been coveting as of late.
RELATED: Man of Many’s Most Wanted – November 2023.
Cartier Santos de Cartier
Chosen by: Ben McKimm
Ben McKimm previously went hands-on with the Santos de Cartier, and now it’s on his bucket list, so one can safely assume this is a superlative wristwatch. It first catches the eye with the signature dial display, upon which classical numerals impart a perfect touch of the avant-garde. Combine that with the sword-shaped hands, exposed screws, and unique contours, and it’s no wonder that Ben wrote that “the design of the Santos de Cartier is to watch what the Porsche 911 is to cars, timeless.” Now, who’s going to buy one for him?!
Price: AU$13,100
Paraboot Yosemite
Chosen by: Frank Arthur
This eye-catching mid-top boot was made in Spain using Blake-stitch construction with leather lining, rubber coating at the front and back, and durable rubber soles. A masterpiece of material, it offers prime comfort and performance across rocky inclines, city streets, and everywhere. The contrast between tan leather and black rubber cultivates a handsome and distinctive aesthetic to round out its many charms.
Price: AU$539
Apple Vision Pro
Chosen by: John Guanzon
Apple’s Vision Pro has been a veritable conversation starter since it was first announced in 2023. An advanced mixed-reality headset, it can immerse users in their immersive bubble, engage with the exterior world through a technological lens, or do some combination of the above. The advanced wearable is now available for purchase, and it’s still working out a few kinks as users decide whether or not this sleek gear is worth the lofty price tag. Our resident tech lover and head of social, John Guanzon, just had his first retail experience and loved it!
Price: from AU$5999
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Reverse Panda
Chosen by: Rob Edwards
TAG Heuer’s iconic Carrera Chronograph plus a reverse Tricompax layout and signature reverse ‘Panda’ colour combination? Yes, please! Measuring 39mm in diameter, the sporty stunner runs on an in-house Calibre TH20-00 automatic movement with a whopping 80-hour power reserve. Quality steel is a given and so too is domed crystal sapphire, resulting in the best of durability and legibility alike. Of course, writer Rob Edwards was ready to pick this one up as soon as he saw the words “TAG Heuer Carrera.”
Price: AU$9,350
AKONI Cosmo in Crystal Burgundy
Chosen by: Frank Arthur
Japanese eyewear brand Akoni puts a brilliant twist on the Wellington style with their swanky Cosmo sunnies. The shades come in a variety of colourways but it’s the Crystal Burgundy model that’s calling out to Man of Many co-founder and fashion legend Frank Arthur. The branded temple tips of translucent titanium feature custom Akoni screws, and the quality lenses likewise employ brand markings, representing just a few among the bevvy of premium details. This is coolness defined with the price tag to match and we know that Frank will look downright sharp as soon as he throws them on. Look out, world!
Price: USD$925
BMW i4 M50
Chosen by: Marcus Hurley
Power meets performance meets precision on the BMW i4 M50, a fully electric car of considerable allure. Running on two eDrive motors and equipped with intelligent all-wheel drive, the emission-free vehicle can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds flat and traverse a range of up to 465 km per full charge. Thanks to BMW M IconicSounds Electric, meanwhile, the adaptive ride generates an expressive sound as it roars across the open road. This is the future of luxury driving and team member Marcus Hurley is definitely here for it!
Price: AU$133,900
Nike Pegasus 41 By You
Chosen by: Alex Martinez
Nike’s ‘By You’ platform allows one to choose between various colours and details as they build the sneaker of their dreams. However, the brand does most of the heavy lifting in terms of pure performance and construction. On the mighty Pegasus 41, that means ultra-responsive cushioning, ReactX foam midsoles, lightweight energy return, and breathable mesh on the improved uppers. Bring in the custom platform, and you will get the best of all worlds. Your move, Alex Martinez!
Price: AU$240
Smooshos Jumbo Orbeez Ball
Chosen by: Marcus Hurley
It’s a stressful world out there, and sometimes, you just need a squishy jumbo ball to squeeze for relaxation. This one from Smooshos brings vibrant colour into the mix for a perfect visual and physical balance. Filled with Orbeez slime, it can squish and stretch to deliver a much-needed sensory distraction for as long as your heart desires.
Price: from AU$15
Montblanc x Wes Anderson Schreiberling Pen
Chosen by: Elliott Barsby
Wes Anderson has partnered with Montblanc for “The Schreiberling” (translation: “The Scribbler”), which scales the director’s playful sensibilities down to pen size. Designed by Anderson himself, the special edition fountain pen comes with a similarly colourful cap and goes on sale starting next year. Man of Many’s commercial director Elliot Barsby has signed up for notifications but we’ll see if he takes the plunge. Montblanc is the Rolex of writing instruments, after all, and this one won’t come cheap.
Price: USD$2,500
Harley Davidson LiveWire One
Chosen by: Harry Parsons
Harley Davidson’s first electric motorcycle makes for a sleek and comparatively quiet (though it does make noise) counterpart to their standard vroom-vroom fare. Forged from aluminium with a low centre of gravity, it uses a patented Revelation powertrain to produce constant acceleration and up to 100 horsepower. Harry Parsons is our head of branded content so maybe he can reach out to the iconic motorcycle company for a potential partnership. Can we accept a brand new LiveWire One in lieu of traditional payment? It wouldn’t hurt to ask.
Price: USD$22,799
Moaconcept Club Sneaker
Chosen by: Elliott Barsby
Italian sneaker company Moaconcept is making epic lifestyle statements one stylish silhouette at a time. Our own Elliott Barsby has been perusing the brand’s various Club sneakers as he decides which design suits him best. Perhaps he’ll go with the Club Camouflage, a low-top kick that combines camouflage canvas with off-white leather details to render a truly singular impression. No matter where Elliott lands, he’ll be turning heads as he strolls the sidewalks of Sydney.
Price: €205
Jimmy Doo Farm
Chosen by: Elliott Barsby
Seeking the perfect winter getaway? Look no further than Jimmy Doo Farm, a sprawling vacation property perched on 270 acres of wilderness. There’s room for 16 adults and up to 8 children at the luxury snow lodge, so bring your friends and family for an unforgettable retreat. As you hike or bike the local trails by day, you may very well spot various wildlife, including kangaroos, emus, wallabies, and other native species. Then, head back to the lodge to sip wine, soak in the hot tub, and relax on the timber deck, surrounded by epic views on all sides. Most wanted, indeed!
Canon EOS R6 Mark II
Chosen by: John Guanzon
Canon’s EOS R6 Mark II is a perennial powerhouse for vloggers and photographers. The full-frame mirrorless camera packs serious performance into a compact framework, offering shooting speeds of up to 40fps and up to 4K 60p video resolution. Nimble and quiet, it’s the perfect companion for nature shoots and other outdoor adventures, though it performs just as well in the comfort of one’s home. Here’s hoping that John Guanzon soon discovers the stellar difference in quality and performance that this camera provides.
Price: AU$4,199
Ressence Type 5 L Watch
Chosen by: Scott Purcell
Man of Many co-founder Scott Purcell is famously passionate about watches, so when something catches his eye, we should all pay attention. That “something” is the Ressence Type 5 L and it’s a lightweight dive watch unlike any other. Crafted from Grade 5 titanium, it uses innovative oil technology to deliver constant lubrication and absolute legibility up to 100 meters deep. Meanwhile, we can’t stop staring at the unique display and its artistic smattering of symbols and subdials.
Price: CHF 34,500
Audi RS e-Tron GT Performance
Chosen by: Scott Purcell
Audi’s foray into fully electric terrain takes some baseline cues from the Porsche Taycan before veering off in its own wild and drool-inducing direction. That is to say, the RS e-Tron GT Performance is indisputably its own thing, complete with luxury interior styling, various technological adornments, and a dual-motor powertrain. This particular model produces a mind-blowing output of up to 680 kW (925 hp) to become the most powerful car across Audi’s entire range. It’s also one among the number of electric vehicles that our team can’t wait to get their hands on.
Price: TBA
Nike x Hyperice Boot
Chosen by: Scott Purcell
Nike teamed up with recovery brand Hyperice and the result may very well be the future of performance-based footwear. Designed for athletes and active types, the Nike x Hyperice Boot delivers a heat-and-dynamic air-compression massage to the feet and ankles, thereby optimising recovery during training and competition. Our feet are feeling better already.
Price: TBA
Brotherwolf Huff Heavy Weight Cardigan
Chosen by: Nick Hall
Aussie clothing label Brotherwolf doesn’t shy away from style statements, and neither does Man of Many’s own Nick Hall. Hence, it’s no surprise that the editor-in-chief has set his sights on the brand’s Huff Heavy Weight Cardigan, a long-sleeve lambswool jacket with embroidered visuals on the front and back. It’s approachable, playful, unique, and high-quality, just like Nick himself!
Price: AU$450
