Wei Koh (Chinese: 許çÂÂ; born 11 November 1969) is a Singaporean publisher, entrepreneur, and creative director best known as the founder of Revolution, an independent watch magazine, and The Rake, a luxury menâÂÂs lifestyle publication. Koh is widely regarded as one of the most influential voices in modern horology media.
Koh is the son of Singaporean diplomat Tommy Koh. He was born and raised in the United States where he attended Vassar College. He has described his early exposure to tailoring, vintage style, and mechanical watches as formative influences on his later editorial work.
Before founding his own publications, Koh worked as a writer and creative consultant across lifestyle, luxury, and fashion sectors, developing a reputation for his editorial voice and encyclopaedic knowledge of watches and classic menswear.
In 2005, Koh founded Revolution, a publication focused on mechanical watches and the modern culture surrounding horology. The magazine expanded rapidly, evolving into a global media brand with regional editions, a digital platform, and collaborations with major watch manufacturers.
In 2008, Koh launched The Rake, a menâÂÂs lifestyle magazine centred on âÂÂclassic elegance,â craftsmanship, tailoring, and the culture of refined living. Under KohâÂÂs direction, The Rake developed a distinctive editorial identity, reviving interest in mid-century style, the concept of the modern gentleman, and narratives around craft and heritage.
The brand later expanded into e-commerce, becoming a global retailer for luxury menswear and artisanal brands.
