Launched in 1912, the Fortis brand was started by Walter Vogt in Grenchen, Switzerland.

The B42 Official Cosmonaut Chronograph is the official watch of manned space missions authorised by the Russian Federal Space Agency. The winner of many awards including European Aviation Watch Award in 2004 for the Flieger Chronograph Automatic.
