As part of this agreement, Revolution International Limited and Edipresse are also working together to bring Revolution magazine to several major European and Asian markets in 2008. The Edipresse Group firmly believes in the potential of Revolution, especially given its success in its home market Singapore as well as with some of its other international editions (Malaysia, USA, Russia). The Revolution title is a perfect fit in Edipresse's recently announced global strategy to develop luxury upmarket watch magazines and multimedia products.
