Double Victory for Fortis at WatchTime Düsseldorf 2025
From October 24th to 26th, Düsseldorf became the heart of the watch world. Fortis captured two of the year’s top honours. Watch Person of the Year for Jupp Philipp and Design of the Year for the Stratoliner Reentry Edition.
Celebrating functionality, design and authenticity in perfect balance.
From October 24th to 26th, Düsseldorf turned into the centre of the watch universe.
Three days of passion, precision and community. And one unforgettable Friday night.
Under the lights of the WatchTime Awards, Jupp Philipp was named Watch Person of the Year. Moments later, the Fortis Stratoliner Reentry Edition was crowned Design of the Year.
Two awards. One night. A recognition of the path we’ve chosen.
Under Jupp’s leadership, Fortis continues to shape a new era of watchmaking. One rooted in Grenchen, built on legacy and defined by vision.
On display at the show were the latest additions to the Stratoliner family:
Stratoliner Reentry Edition. Hand-torched dials, each one a unique piece of art.
Stratoliner Gravity Black. A black DLC-coated evolution of the collection.
The response was overwhelming. A clear sign that our spirit of exploration continues to resonate.
A heartfelt thank-you to the organisers of WatchTime Düsseldorf, to everyone who visited our booth and to all the fellow winners and nominees who make this community so extraordinary.
We’ll see you next year.
