Gaetano Cimmino

My passion for watches started when I was 15 and my father gave me a Bulova Accutronthat his father had originally given to him as a gift. From that moment on, I started reading and gathering information about watches on an occasional basis until the moment I eventually discovered the beautiful IWC collection by Porsche Design, which used to feature on every issue of the Architectural Digest magazine and ideally linked together my two biggest passions: watches and cars. From then on, it has been a continuous crescendo, which has culminated with me officially launching a magazine in two languages called Horbiter® in September 2013. The name Horbiter® is a clear reference to everything, which revolves around the world of watches and, in less than two years' time, the magazine has become an important web­based magazine fully acclaimed by competent aficionados, professionals in the field of horology and important watch brands. The magazine is a specialized publication featuring original pictures and a very personal style based on assertive and real opinions, something that is still not widespread enough in Italy. Horbiter® is a resource for people who are passionate about watches like I am, and a publication where I can contribute my experience as an engineer and as a manager. Today, I'm chief editor of Horbiter® and this allows me to share with you what I like the most: writing about watches and collecting them.
