James Gurney has been writing about watches for over a decade and founded QP in 2003 as Britain's first magazine devoted to the world of contemporary fine watches.

QP is now well established as one of the most widely read watch magazines in the world, both through the original edition and through licence editions.

He has contributed to numerous other titles ranging from Esquire to the Wall Street Journal via Vanity Fair and the Telegraph.

He launched the inaugural SalonQP in 2009, London's first public event to focus on contemporary watches and now one of the benchmarks for luxury consumer shows.
