Info
FORTIS ist einer der ältesten Schweizer Uhrenhersteller. Seit der Gründung im Jahr 1912 hat FORTIS immer wieder die Grenzen ihrer außerordentlichen Uhrmacherkunst gesprengt. Bereits im Alter von 29 Jahren wusste Walter Vogt, dass ein starker Markenname und eine reibungslos laufende Produktion die Voraussetzung für Erfolg in einem wachsenden Industriezweig mit starker Konkurrenz sind. 1912 setzte er seinen Plan für einen modernen Betrieb um, für den er einen verkehrsgünstigen Standort nahe dem Bahnhof in Grenchen, Schweiz wählte. Ein Jahr später ließ er den Markennamen und das Firmenzeichen eintragen. Vogt Philosophie war, verlässliche und hochqualitative Armbanduhren für den internationalen Markt zu produzieren. Er sah gute Chancen, denn Armbanduhren waren zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts ein weltweiter Trend.
