LIST: Felix Scholz’s 5 favourite stories of 2018
Felix ScholzFor this year’s instalment of the T+T version of “these are a few of my favourite things”, I’m going to substitute noodles, poodles, and brown paper packages tied up with string for videos. So, without any further Julie Andrews’ references, here are five of my favourite videos.
Russell Crowe talks exclusively to us about the stories behind his watches, and why he’s selling them
Unsurprisingly, our video with the Kiwi who became an actor, who became a star, who collected watches (AKA Russell Crowe) was popular. In fact, it’s our most popular video to date, with a cool half a million views and a total watch time of more than 2.5 million minutes. Are you not entertained?
