The third in our series of Team Picks, today it’s Ceri’s turn to reveal the three stories she most enjoyed on Time+Tide this year.

VIDEO: ABOUT TIME with Patty Mills of the San Antonio Spurs
BY: Felix Scholz
PUBLISHED: July

“Basketball is a fast-paced, frenetic game, but this beautifully-shot black-and-white video shows another side to it through Patty Mills, Australian point guard for the San Antonio Spurs. I love the contrast between the dramatic music and his calm demeanour as he talks about the pressure of time, both in terms of his training and during high-stakes NBA games.”

VIDEO: The only 2 min Basel explainer you’ll ever need to watch (or show to your non-watch-loving friends)
BY: Andrew McUtchen

“If you’ve never been to Baselworld, the intensity, scale and pace of things are impossible to imagine. This little video is your best shot at understanding just how huge and overwhelming an event it is, courtesy of a jet-lagged and over-stimulated Andrew McUtchen.”

Thanks in part to that, we also get to have some fun with the kind of creations that genuinely have become museum pieces, revisited with a contemporary slant – like these pocket watches, which Felix themed to go with one of this year’s standout TV productions: Westworld. If you haven’t watched the series yet, don’t panic, this is a spoiler-free zone. But more importantly, what are you waiting for?”
