You've outdone yourself with that fantastic intro.

[@Eduardinca]

TGV is a master at capturing the watch and the story behind it in an intro less then one minute long.

[@FORTISWATCHES1912]

Hey T., Thanks for the awesome review!! We really appreciate your work and love for details! Keep on doing what you're doing. Best Regards, Yours Team Fortis

[@mariusswart7257]

History on watches before reviews is so much better. I love it.

[@BJWGooner]

I just would like to say, TGV you are taking watch videos to the level of Attenborough. I assure you this is not fanboy sycophantism, just an appreciation of what you bring to the community. Thanks man. By the way, your Final Cut Pro skills are absolutely fantastic hehe.

[@garethsigrist8714]

Another phenomenal video. I didn’t know much at all about Fortis and their history prior to seeing your previous videos on them. What an incredible company!

[@springthyme501]

Fortis are really killing it with their recent releases. Great work on the intro tgv!

[@tonyboncordo655]

Nicely done. Citizens are also massively underrated. If you want to take it into space, go eco-drive, no batteries, no mechanical issues..

[@Ikesane]

Another great video! And that intro knocked it out of the park!!

[@maxm1417]

First 55 seconds are superb! best intro ever! Loved that 80s synth vibe!

[@WatchWitt]

Your macro shots show off some incredibly beautiful details of that dial! Exquisite!

[@lackster458]

Another great video. Those titles sequences just keep getting better! Bravo 👏

[@ExpeditedProductions]

That intro was a small step in time but a giant leap for most KZbin videos.....ok I stretched that a bit....haha. Seriously though, excellent video! My son is an avid space fanatic. He knows more about space and spacecraft than I know about Earth based aircraft! And I fly for a living....ok another stretch but he knows a lot. He loves the new Fortis Mars watch. He asked me to point out that the reason there is probably no 24 hour dial/hand is that that is an Earth concept. Space explorers that go to Mars will most likely utilize the 60 minute hour and Earth based time , but it will be totally off kilter each day due to Mars’ orbital patterns. I don’t know if this is accurate or not but I couldn’t figure a valid reason why he might be wrong. Either way. Food for thought. Totally agree with your opinion regarding the Speedy. Thanks ever so much for such a great video. Be well, my friend! Onwards and upwards!! To the .......Mars?!

[@theurbangentry]

🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏 Your son sounds amazing, and very clever indeed. You must be proud. Thank you my friend, please say hello for me. O&U my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@davidrosenblum2178]

Fortis watches are stunning and have that precise technical appearance I find so appealing and this piece is no exception. Thanks for sharing it with us TGV!

[@watcharc9569]

Finally something really new...it's so sad to see established watch brands being afraid to push forward and innovate. Fortis watches are always so unique, different and cool. Thank you for the amazing video tgv, keep up the good work, greetings from Italy!

[@epicv7dayz824]

TGV your talent for creating and editing is insanely good. Oh wait you did review a watch as well !!

[@cliftonlee4467]

Fortis is such an amazing brand that really flies under the radar. The Black Mars 500 is an awesome forerunner to this stunning watch!

[@FifeLaw]

Favorite intro to date. Well done.

[@Ashfielder]

Someone should make a 24 hours and 37 minutes watch movement so that a Martian day cycle can be properly kept track of.

[@Classicalthomas]

that would be a horological masterpiece and collector item for sure!

[@robindelabra3874]

that alreafy exists,check out the Konstantin Chaykin Mars Conqueror Mk3 Fighter

[@hobermallow5841]

@@robindelabra3874 Wow! That is a cool watch. I was thinking duel time with Earth vs Mars would be cool and lo and behold there it is with GMT too.

[@Ashfielder]

@@robindelabra3874 all the good ideas are taken, right? That’s a very cool watch, I just wish it had half an extra hour marking rather than just a slowed movement. What I mean is, make it keep time in Earth hours, but just have an extra half an hour (roughly) on the dial. Hopefully someone will do that with the Mars time as the primary dial. I suppose the minute hand would have to flick back to twelve o’ clock once the extra 37 minutes had been completed, which could be tricky.

[@JinKee]

@@Ashfielder i would pay an unholy amount of money for a Glycine Martian which has an Airman style dial except there is a separate 24hr and 00 hr index with a 37 minute gap in between them that was highlighted with three lume pips. and then have an extra GMT hour hand that runs on earth time and jumps the 37 minute gap, the GMT hour hand is the one that drives the date wheel so you know what day it is back at mission control imagine how collectable the actual space flown ones would be

[@Jsong1]

That is such a fun dial! With applied logos & numerals and a variety of textures in different sections of the dial, you won't get bored with it! I also love the glide lock feature of the bracelet. In my opinion, every bracelet at this point should have a similar feature, but many luxury watches don't make bracelets with such features. It looks like Fortis certainly cares about the quality & user experience.

[@Okido24]

As a space and enthusiast I am very motivated to own one of these. It is the future rather then the past!

[@paulhiggins8774]

Love the intro, don’t think anyone on KZbin has better Great lesson on watch history and I like what Fortis is doing. Not everyone’s cup of tea but you have to admire what they have achieved

[@SafeInTheArms]

These openings are becoming next level TGV haha- love it!

[@TheSafeGolfer]

This was one of the best intros you’ve ever done

[@CarlosDiaz-gk7nk]

What an intro - just killer! Another masterpiece of TGV.

[@FORTISWATCHES1912]

Hi, we just want to quickly answer a few of your question: *Why isn't it with Mars-Time?* Well...We cross that bridge when we get there;-) This one is made for an analog mission on earth so no need of Martian time. We are developing the watch together with the Austrian Space Forum - step by step. So next time we will implement other features or materials based on the the results of the analog missions. And then...one day...when Elon asks the question of which watch should we take for our trip...we will be there...tried and tested. *Why the Hook Strap?* It is designed by Nick Mankey who is based in California. We decided for these Hook Straps because they are elastic and that was one requirement for the astronauts on the field mission. They can now easily pull the over their space gloves. The well known velcro straps are actually quite tricky to handle with gloves that size. A slightly smaller reedition of the Hook Strap is included in every box for earthlings. Go check out Nick Mankey's website for even more designs or details: nickmankeydesigns.com/ *Why automatic watches in space?* Imagine you're going to space for a long...a very long time... One day you run out of batteries and your watch will simply not be working anymore. Therefore we believe that automatic wrist watches are by far the better choice. Now due to the oscillating weight, and most of the time zero gravity, the watch will be working all the time. Imagine the rotor starts turning by your movement: Due to the zero gravity it won't stop turning. *Why Tool Watch. Redefined.?* We at Fortis believe in functionalities. We also believe in good and timeless design. We build Tool Watches. But we also want to add love and details and combine it with perfection and outstanding quality. But there is one more thing that is utmost important to us: Emotions. We do not create watches. We want you to look at your timepiece every day, no matter the planet you're on and our goal is that you love it like TGV loves his 38mm Official Cosmonauts. So we are creating Tool Watches. Redefined. *Why is the 13 different?* For us the "13" is our lucky number. That's why we shoot all our photos with FRI 13. Since the Flieger Release, the 13 on the date wheel is always in a matching color. It should remind you at least once a month, that you bought something that's not just off the shelf. On the AMADEE-20 we also renamed FRI to SOL (a Martian day). But that's because we just simply liked the idea. We hope that the above kind of resolves some of your questions. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate and send us an email to [e-mail] Best regards, Team Fortis

[@russ769]

One of your best intros TGV, fantastic work as always. If I could criticize this watch, I would say it’s too monochromatic. Other than that it’s a fantastic watch! Can’t wait for the next unbiased review! Ok, ciao.

[@AK-rq1cz]

Ground Control to Major Tom......I love my titanium watches, nothing else like the material. Another great, informative showcase as we always get from you TGV!

[@a053303]

the more I hear and see about Fortis the more I like them. I own an official cosmonauts in titanium and it's glorious :)

[@Texas240]

It's good to see Fortis with another titanium watch. I never picked one up, but their previous titanium chronograph is very attractive. I do own their previous "Mars 500" with orange and black color scheme, in DLC coated titanium. I'm sure you have your haters saying you're a fortis advert (as they claim with your like for squale). However, I've owned several Fortis watches and they all have good quality.

The Breitling at the beginning demonstrates pure class (with a corresponding function). The Fortis, on the other hand, is symbolically pure functionality.

That was quite the beautiful intro. Stunning! Much more then the speedy you can easily see that this watch is designed for modern spacefaring. I also love the symbolism on the dial and drawings on the caseback. Titanium is great and seems a must to me. In short a stellar watch! Great narrative! Thanks again.

[@lucacadianalbert]

You know I'm a big Fortis fan - It's a sweet watch, but I agree with your negatives. I wish it was smaller and I wish the bracelet tapered down. I own a Ti B42 Cosmonauts and albeit big, it feels super comfortable on the wrist because it's lightweight.

Between Nicks, NDC and Erikas, Nicks is more comfortable in my opinion, I prefer it’s slimmer profile on the wrist too since it doesn’t had bulk between the wrist and case. TGV, you need to try it out.

Hi Renzo, haha I wish! As for NDC vs Erika's, you must of missed my comparison video between the two, NDC wins hands down in terms quality and real military provenance. But I have to say, Erika's are very good, an excellent reproduction of the NDC IMO. As for Nick's, I have not tried it yet, so it would be unfair for me to say, but I will check it out. I might try it on my own Fortis ;-) Thank you. TGV
