Revolution has the world’s largest global footprint of 11 editions published in 12 countries. Helmed by the original founders of Revolution Press, Wei Koh and Bruce Lee, two editions of Revolution are circulated quarterly in Singapore/Malaysia, and the US. In 2010, Revolution China was re-launched to a growing market of Chinese watch enthusiasts. The magazine is also published under license in Russia/Kazakhstan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mexico, Spain and Italy.
In December 2011, Revolution will launch its most prestigious edition in the very heart of the Swiss watch industry. It will be published simultaneously in French and German, as well as a version in simplified Mandarin that will be made available to all Chinese-speaking tourists visiting Switzerland.
Revolution explodes into the consumer collective consciousness by destroying the image of watches as niche and positioning them as the most exciting, high performance and aesthetically avant-garde high luxury item in the world. It’s sexy, provocative pictorials create a sense of escape and romance associated with luxury watches. Diving watches plunge readers into the high adventure underwater world while it’s stories on chronographs jettison the reader into the high performance world of auto racing. The magazine fuses the realms of sports, music, racing and cinema with the realm of the luxury mechanical watch.
Underlying its intoxicating look is a magazine with true substance. Revolution’s goal is to educate the consumer about the world of mechanical watches in the same way Top Gear educates them about automobiles. Revolution offers greater substance, depth and technical understanding of watches and the watch industry than any other publication that has come before.
Revolution's website on the Internet is www.revo-online.com, a resource site with the latest news on mechanical watches, feature articles, and discussion forums where watch enthusiasts share insights and knowledge about watch collecting. Revolution Online hosts a growing list of factory-authorized discussion forums that aims to bring watch brands and collectors/enthusiasts closer. The list of factory-authorized forums on the website currently includes A. Lange & Söhne, Audemars Piguet, Girard-Perregaux, Greubel Forsey, Hublot, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, and Urwerk.
Revolution received an honorary mention for Best Cover Design at the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) Awards 2007.
