Mr. Jupp Philipp, owner, Fortis Watches
Fortis Watches is pleased to announce that, from September 1, 2018, the brand's continuing operation under a new leadership is secured and will also be expanded: Jupp Philipp, entrepreneur and passionate wearer of Fortis, has taken the reins.
In order to put this vision into practice, Mr. Philipp will bring in experienced support from the industry: Mr. Lorenz Aebischer (who previously worked at renowned brands such as Auguste Reymond, Mido and Tissot) will manage Fortis.

The direction is clear. The first and foremost vision: "Every customer is entitled to value preservation and it is our duty to ensure this.", said Mr. Philipp. This guiding principle describes succinctly almost philosophically the cornerstones of the future focus and shall forever constitute the creed for all strategic and operational decisions.
Initially a precise analysis and strategy development with all of its components will be in the foreground. "Of course, it should be clear to everyone that such a process will take its time. Nevertheless we will immediately get together on September 1 and start to work on the individual topics over the coming months as a team. It will take some time to create the foundations, organise the FORTIS network and make everyone believe in the guiding principle.", said Mr. Aebisher.
