I wearing a very special watch today, the Fortis Spacematic all risk from the early 1960s, this is one of 3 watches that belonged to my grandfather. I never got to meet him but getting the watches from my cousin inspired me to finding out more about him. Born in 1908 in Calbourne County on the Isle of Wight, he served in the RAF during WW2 which brought him to South Africa where he met my Grandmother and the rest is history.
