Oracle Time is a magazine and online news platform focusing on men’s luxury watches, fashion and lifestyle.
Founded in 2013 by Mark Edwards and Thomas Pettit after more than twenty five years in print media, they set out to create the kind of magazine they wanted to read themselves. The goal was simple: a quality print product with intelligent, engaging journalism and visuals that would appeal to readers who still enjoy turning real pages, even in a digital world.
From Print Roots To Modern Newsroom
What began as a focused print title for watch enthusiasts has grown into a multi platform news operation. Oracle Time has produced more than 120 issues and built a dedicated base of subscribers, members and long term readers. Alongside the magazine, our website, weekly newsletter and social channels now reach an audience that rivals larger non independent group publications, while we remain proudly owner managed.
Britain and British watchmaking sit at the heart of what we do. We look at global watch culture through a British lens, from home grown independents to international brands that shape the modern landscape.
Our Perspective and Coverage
Oracle Time is built on an enthusiast first approach. We aim to be honest, useful and clear, pairing beautiful visuals with straightforward explanations so that readers can understand not only how a watch looks, but why it matters. Our coverage spans launch news, industry developments, hands on reviews, in depth features and interviews, supported by related stories on cars, travel, fashion and technology where they intersect with watches. The tone is authoritative yet accessible, welcoming long time collectors and newcomers alike.
Events, Membership and Community
Oracle Time is not only something you read. It is also a community you can join in person.
We launched Hands On Horology, a London based exhibition that brings brands and readers together in one place. The first year featured more than forty brands and welcomed more than eight hundred attendees, from curious newcomers to seasoned collectors.
Our membership product builds on that sense of community. Members receive print and digital benefits, access to exclusive content, monthly reader events and a range of partner perks designed for people who take their hobby seriously.
