The Most Extreme Movement Test I've Ever Seen

How far would a watch manufacturer go to test a mechanical movement? In 2021, Fortis partnered with the Swedish Space Corporation to send its Werk 17 chronograph movements into the stratosphere, exposing them to extreme temperatures and conditions. In this video, we explore that remarkable experiment, take a closer look at the newest Fortis Novanaut, and discuss whether this kind of extreme engineering makes for a better watch. Is it meaningful innovation, or simply impressive marketing?
