Marco Gabella
Chairman & Executive Publisher


A trained lawyer, Marco started out his professional career as a business entrepreneur, his core business being in woodwork. It was only a tiny step from this exacting and painstakingly meticulous world to watchmaking. Allowing his heart to rule his head, he decided in 2009 to make a career switch by founding Watchonista, the first online community specialising in watchmaking managed by collectors. His prime strengths are his artistic sensibilities and creativity, all of which he brings to bear in Watchonista's vision of watchmaking.
