Perfecting Perfection

Last year we took an important step back to our roots and our early years of pioneering with the Terrestis Collection. We have continued in this vein for 2016, though we are now focussing primarily on FORTIS’ domains in aerospace. It was FORTIS’ “Youngtimers” from the 80s and 90s which redefined the concept of functional design - particularly the Flieger and Official Cosmonauts range. We now present both of them in their revised form. Throughout the formation process, we have borne in mind the maxim of our company founder, Walter Vogt: “Perfecting the Perfection”. And we have determined that it is possible to take one step into the past, while taking two steps into the future.

Maximilian Spitzy, CEO FORTIS

Hand-made for hands The maxims of founder Walter Vogt were to create nothing less than the most reliable watches in the world; an outstanding, quality Swiss product which deserved the name of FORTIS. fortis (latin) {adj.} [1] strong, powerful [2] lasting, solid [3] bold, brave, fearless Today, more than 100 years after the Grenchenbased headquarters released the first watches, Walter Vogt’s vision lives on in every FORTIS. To this day, every FORTIS is still hand-finished. The tests for accuracy and waterproof performance are the only processes which are automated. Because nothing can replace the skill of the experienced hands of a watchmaker.

This way of thinking has become rare in this

withstand exorbitant pressure. The step into outer space reflects the pioneering spirit which has always - since FORTIS’ invention of mass-produced automatic wristwatches (Harwood, 1926) - characterised the DNA of the company in Grenchen. As well as technical innovations such as the recent first chronograph with alarm and GMT functions, FORTIS also stands for trendsetting design.

The four FORTIS Collections Cosmonautis, Aviatis, Terrestis and Aquatis – each of which consists of highly specialised timepieces that master the varied requirements of their world. Whatever challenge a FORTIS may set itself, it impresses with uncompromising functionality and perfect design - from outer space to the depths of the ocean.

Cosmonautis Collection Ever since their orbital baptism of fire aboard the space station MIR in 1994, FORTIS watches have been part of the standard equipment of all cosmonauts.

After 100,000 orbits around the earth and the longest stay in weightlessness of any watch, FORTIS embodies reliability in time and space. FORTIS has proved itself again and again like no other brand and is therefore a true pioneer and a specialist in the field of space travel. Alongside the Official Cosmonauts watches with solid steel bases and engraved missions, this year FORTIS is launching a new version which embodies the features of the first original.

Aviatis Collection Flying inspires not only pilots but many people all around the world. Today, flying is part of our everyday lives yet it was always, and continues to be, people with a special pioneering spirit who push development onwards. FORTIS is one of these pioneering spirits which has spent centuries striving to develop perfection for pilots. The cockpit may be entirely digital today, but a watch remains a reliable companion with heart.

30

And so it remains true today, that the most important instrument for a pilot is a mechanical watch. Based on this fundamental law of aviation, FORTIS set itself the goal of developing the best watches for flying. The core elements of such a watch were defined early on: Unparalleled, clear readability, double-sided anti-reflective sapphire glass and extreme pressure resistance. These features and ongoing further development have helped FORTIS in becoming the first choice for more than 60 flight squadrons - including the PC-7 Team of the Swiss Airforce.
