About

I’m Luca Barone, an editorial leader specialized in vintage watches and luxury-focused storytelling. I curate and develop the Journal section for Momentum, planning topics and producing in-depth guides and reference-driven features that speak to the vintage market and collecting culture.

I also serve as Editor in Chief for Italian Watch Spotter, where I shape the magazine’s content strategy and manage the full editorial workflow—from assigning briefs to coordinating editors and contributors, then overseeing writing, editing, SEO, layout, and publishing. Alongside this, I represent the publication at international events and press trips and use performance analytics to refine coverage and grow audience interest.
