Classic Cosmonauts

Catalogue 2016/17
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.

Ever since their orbital baptism of fire aboard

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.

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.
