We had the privilege to spend an hour with Jupp Philipp, the new owner of Fortis watches, where he shared some exciting things about the heritage of the company but also how Fortis is changing and what can fans of the brand expect in the next 20 years. Jupp has a great vision for Fortis and his passion for space watches is reflected in some of the newly redesigned iconic watches.
