Marco Strazzi

After twenty years as a sports journalist, featuring the coverage of major football and tennis events, I became involved in watchmaking-related communication. I am the author of nine historical books about horology: Lancette & C. (an encyclopedia of wristwatches in Italian, 2005), Rolex dalla A alla Z (amonography on the brand in Italian, 2007), The Museum Collection (100 milestones of 20thCentury watchmaking, in English, 2022), Watch Ads (a two-volume pictorial history of communication and design in 20th Century watchmaking, in English and Italian, 2016 and 2017), Rolex 1905-1960 (the first half-century of the company, in English and Italian, 2018), Rolex 1961-2025 (Part 2 of the brand's history, in English and Italian, 2026), Orologi da polso 1900-1959 and Orologi da polso 1960-2000 (the new encyclopedia of wristwatches, in Italian, 2021 and 2022). In 2012 I published my first fiction: the novel Wingwatch, partly inspired by a true WWII story and also available in Italian and French.
