Better known as the creators of the first automatic wristwatch, Swiss-born Fortis are a brand of many milestones. Founded in 1912 by Walter Vogt, the luxurious portfolio of Fortis is closely entwined with historical turning points across the horological, aeronautic and astronautic industries. Attesting to these connections, the brand has had a longstanding partnership with Russian space agency ROSCOSMOS and has collaborated with the likes of the Austrian Space Forum and the Swedish Space Corporation. With its confident, durable and innovative timepieces, Fortis has consistently pushed the boundaries of the watchmaking industry.
