About Fortis

Rich watchmaking history

Our founder, Walter Vogt in collaboration with John Harwood developed and mass produced the first automatic wrist watch in the world

Our watches have spent more time in space than any other brand combined*

As the chosen brand by the ROSKOSMOS (Russian Space agency) our watches have been used by cosmonauts as tools for more than 25 consecutive years

Independent since 1912

Fortis is a company independent since it’s conception by Walter Vogt.
What does independent mean in the watchmaking industry? It means no compromises regarding quality of each watch component

The favorite watch of Military, aerobatic and amateur pilots worldwide

Since decades we collaborate with the best pilots from around the world proofing us in robustness and reliability on a day to day basis.
