Revolution was launched in Singapore in March of 2005 and immediately became a hit with watchmakers and watch-lovers, not only in Asia but worldwide. An American edition of the magazine was successfully launched in the fall of 2006, and in 2007 Fine Life Media began to publish a Russian-language editionfor the Russian market. By the end of that year, Revolution editions for China, Hong Kong, and Italy had been launched. Since 2008, the magazine has been available to watch connoisseurs in Spain, and in a French-language edition in France, Switzerland and Belgium. A Mexican edi-tion came out in 2009. In 2012, the publishing house Burda purchased the license to publish Revolution in Russia and Ukraine, which opened up new possibilities for the magazine and boosted its development potential.
