When Walter Vogt founded Fortis in
1912, his most brilliant move would come 12 years later when he set
up production with John Harwood, the inventor of the automatic
wristwatch. Two years later in 1926, Fortis released the first
self-winding wristwatch, the patented Harwood Automatic. In 1937
Fortis commemorated their 25th anniversary by manufacturing their
first chronographs and in 1954 they took over the world-wide
distribution of alarm watches. In 1992 they released a world
novelty: the first watch with indication of the 52 calendar weeks.
Their watches have joined space flights and air flights alike and
the Fortis Official Cosmonauts Chronograph was chosen as the
official watch of the Russian-German space mission MIR 97. More
recently they premiered the world's first automatic chronograph with
mechanical alarm, FORTIS calibre F2001.
Fortis has a history of being ahead of the times and that’s why
their watches will keep you ahead on all of your travels, whether
they be on the road, in the sky, or galactic. |
