OT: The Podcast10 Dec 2020

Wei Koh (Revolution/The Rake) on Ralph Lauren, creating limited editions, and how he got his start in watches

Wei Koh, founder of pioneering watch title Revolution and style bible The Rake, cuts a large and legendary figure. And while he's known for his style and deep knowledge of watches, the heart of Koh's charm lies in his self-awareness and affability. These traits come through strong in this interview, where we cover off how the self-described 'idiot' came to build some of the most respected magazines in the world, and what he's learned from Ralph Lauren. We also chat to Koh about his take on social media, from why accounts like @shameonwrist and @hodonkee are important, and why he thinks it matters to be real on the 'Gram. We also get his take on the Hublot Big Bang Integral, and why he thinks Hublot is an under-appreciated watch brand. Essential listening.
