The Victorinox Swiss Army Story

In 1884, Karl Elsener opened a cutlery workshop in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland with the support of his mother Victoria. Just like that, Victorinox Swiss Army was born.

In 1891, Elsener and his coworkers deliver knives for soldiers in the Swiss Army for the introductory time. Six years later, the company legally protected the names Swiss "Officer's" and "Sport Knife." The model later became known as the Original Swiss Army Knife.

Following Elsener's mother's death in 1909, the company integrated her name into the brand and unveiled it is well-known cross and shield emblem. Elsener arrived at the name Victorinox by combining the name Victoria with "inox," an abbreviation of the French word for rust-resistant steel, "inoxydable."

In 1989, Victorinox officially entered the timepiece business in the United States under the brand name Swiss Army. In 1999, Victorinox collaborators with the American TRG Group in St. Louis and enters into the global travel gear market. In 2001, the company launched a fashion line in the U.S. with a collection that delivers technical and tailored styling capturing the brand’s essence of practical luxury. If that wasn't enough, in 2007 Victorinox sets up Victorinox Swiss Army Fragrance AG, and in 2009 Victorinox Swiss Unlimited was launched.

Victorinox Swiss Army treasures it is heritage, the future is evenly inspiring. Innovation is at the heart of each Victorinox product it introduces, with stimulating technical progression allround all it is product categories.

Great watch
By Harvey M. Wolfson
I've applied the watch for when it comes to a month now. It's a outstanding watch altho not perfective in each way. I use it for bicycling, jogging and each day use. The aspect and build quality are excellent.

My important selection choice was readability and that it is. You may tell the rectify time very effortlessly in a potpourri of lighting conditions. The hour and minute hands have a very effective luminous material. However there's no luminous orientation mark on the dial face so you could fault the actual time if the watch isn't oriented properly. The chronograph ring has a luminous mark. The markings on the dial face are silver which catch light in most situations.

The chronograph ring works well. The ring rotates only counter-clockwise. Perhaps it's watch making tradition, but wouldn't a clock-wise rotation make more sense? If timing an event, the event is ordinarily delayed in time, not moved earlier.

The band is very comfortable and non slip. This is great except when putting it one - it's a bit hard to slip the band through the two loops.

In summary I'm very pleased with the watch. It's not perfective but works very well for me.
