After Asia, the United States, Russia, and Southern Europe, the magazine Revolution is launching its Francophone edition on September 26th in Switzerland, the heart of highend watchmaking, as well as in France and Belgium.

Edipresse Luxe, an Edipresse Group multimedia entity dedicated to Luxury, and Revolution International Limited had dreamt of this moment. Now it has become a reality.

Revolution is much more than a magazine. With a print-run of 35,000, this 272 page quarterly provides pure watchmaking pleasure. Design, contemporary creations, fashion and lifestyle: Revolution places watchmaking in the culture of its time.

As a watch is first and foremost a work of art, the magazine Revolution is made up of a knowledgeable team in Switzerland who will tell stories of men and beautiful mechanics. Michel Jeannot, Editor-in-Chief, says “Revolution intends to bring new life to the watchmaking press.

Even if we upset certain rules, rock the boat a bit, make some people grit their teeth, we will express our difference so as to surprise our readers who are outside of the watchmaking microcosm”.

The Francophone edition of Revolution is an international concept, a mix of French culture and Swiss know-how that once more strengthens the collaboration between Edipresse Group and Revolution International Limited. After Hong Kong and China in autumn 2007, Russia in December 2007 with Fine Life Media, then Spain in spring 2008, this is the fifth edition under license that Edipresse has launched.

Revolution International Limited and Edipresse plan to launch other Revolution editions in Europe and Asia. This title fits perfectly into the Edipresse Group’s global strategy of developing high-end watchmaking magazines and multimedia products.
