During my career I created and edited the quarterly, specialized high horology magazine Watch Report for GMG publishers in Amsterdam. I also created and produced the bi-annual magazine and bi-annual high-end watch supplement Watch Tribune in cooperation with Dutch Esquire magazine.
And I was the editor-in-chief at 00/24 Horloges, another Haute Horlogerie magazine. Further back I started working as editor-in-chief in 2001 at the weekly youth and music magazine Hitkrant (De Telegraaf Media Groep) and later did the same job with football monthly Voetbal Magazine at the same publishing house.
