Not familiar with Fortis? The company was started by Walter Vogt in 1912. In 1926, he patented the first self-winding watch called the Harwood Automatic. In 1943, he created the first waterproof watches.
Clearly, the guy was a pioneer and a visionary. Either that or he was bored to tears. Maybe he was a lonely kid, and instead of creating imaginary friends, he said, “I am going to make timepieces.”
His mom would encourage him to go outside and play like the other kids, but he insisted he had to stay in to perfect the movements in his intricate creations.
Hey, times were different then. They didn’t have X-Box and Grand Theft Auto. They had soccer balls and watch-making. Vogt went with watches. Who are you to judge?
