Marc Lotenberg, CEO and Chief Creative Officer
Entrepreneur Marc Lotenberg is known for heading several dynamic media companies, most notably Surface magazine, which he successfully redesigned in 2012. Lotenberg added Watch Journal in 2014 and quickly set in place a new creative strategy that has transformed the publication into a full-fledged media brand with enhanced reach. Glen Bowen, Founder and Publisher
Glen Bowen launched his first publication in the mid-1980s. In 1997, he began publishing Watch Journal (then titled InSync). From the very beginning, the magazine’s original content and noted design set it apart. Bowen’s bold vision for a watch magazine unlike any other and his longstanding relationships with industry leaders continue to be the foundation upon which Watch Journal is built. Mark Noë of Noë & Associates, Creative Direction
Mark Noë is creative director of Noë & Associates and an avid watch collector. He first partnered with Lotenberg in early 2013 to create a new iteration of Surface, which boosted that magazine’s reputation as the definitive American media brand for design. Recently, Noë and Lotenberg partnered again to create a new visual direction for Watch Journal. The result is a carefully crafted magazine positioned as the most sophisticated and luxurious watch publication on the market.
