There’s nothing more frustrating than dating or being married to a man who has everything… or, more specifically, thinks he has everything. Life would be a hell of a lot easier if you could just buy him a lawnmower, maximising your me time on Sundays, or a new set of stubbies ahead of the upcoming season.
Luckily for you, we’ve carefully curated a list of luxury gifts that will be sure to score you plenty of points with even the pickiest of partners. Read on to kick some marital goals.

Cartier, Santos De Cartier Watch, $12,600

Let’s start with a statement piece. The Santos de Cartier Watch features automatic movement, a steel case, and a stunning blue dial. It comes with a steel bracelet and a navy blue calfskin strap, both equipped with the “QuickSwitch” system for easy interchangeability, so you’ll always have a strap ready to come off the bench.
The Santos de Cartier Watch is water-resistant up to 100 metres, perfectly blending luxury and everyday sports practicality.
The unique square design pays homage to the pioneering spirit of aviator French Alberto Santos Dumont, who was footy’s version of Alex Jesaulenko. You beauty!

Bremont S302

Continuing on the military-inspired timepieces, we have Bremont. The best of Britain.
The Bremont S302 BLGN R-S is a member of the Supermarine Type 300 range, designed to meet professional demands in a slightly smaller 40mm case so it’s perfect for dainty wrists.
It features a 50-hour power reserve and impressive 300m water resistance for those deep conversations.
The striking burnt orange GMT hand adds a vivid contrast against the dial, complementing the watch’s 24-hour markings. This model is particularly noted for its versatility, encapsulating Bremont’s commitment to aviation and challenging environments, like a wife and two kids.
You’ll never crash and burn with a Bremont as a gift for him.

Longines Legend Diver

Longines Legend Diver Watch, $4,125
There’s no diving in AFL, thankfully but this watch is worth hitting the deck for.
The Longines Legend Diver Watch is a timeless piece, featuring a 42mm stainless steel case, a brown dial with luminous Arabic numerals and indices, and a durable brown leather strap.
This Swiss-made automatic movement delivers a very healthy 72-hour power reserve, water resistance up to 300 meters, and a secure buckle closure. This means no chance of losing it whilst swimming or cheering on your team when it’s 3 goals behind in the fourth.

Laurence Graff Signature Band
6/8
Laurence Graff Signature Band, $4,000
Running rings around your opposite number is one thing, picking out a wedding ring is a whole different story.
Look no further than this Signature brand from Laurence Graff. Its angled design simultaneously gives you all the glimmer and glamour of a diamond but with a contemporary, masculine edge.
White gold goes well with near-enough any skin tone or personal style, while the Laurence Graff brand is a longstanding symbol of quality, durability, and craftsmanship when it comes to the world of jewellery.

Buben&Zorweg Quantum Safe
7/8
Buben&Zorweg Quantum High Gloss Macassar Black Safe, $56,330
Picking out the right wrist candy is one thing — and we’ve helped you there as best we can — but finding somewhere to keep it is a whole other conversation. That’s where this Quantum safe comes into play:
Using 8mm spy mirror glass that allows you to present your collection in the best possible light when you feel like flexing but, at the flick of a switch, turns the glass door into an impenetrable mirror, this is the perfect home for your collection.
As sophisticated as it is sexy, this safe turns a usually all-function-no-form product into a work of art that will fit right in with your home decor and — should you have any concerns that it may not — can be fully customised with the help of the Buben and Zorweg team.
The best offence is a good defence, and we reckon this is as good as it gets.
