The Victorinox Swiss Army Story

In 1884, Karl Elsener opened a cutlery workshop in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland with the aid 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 original 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 underneath 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.

Sharp! Dress it up or down.
By Matt D
This watch manages to remainder sporty and refined effortlessly. The leather band is high quality, as is the sapphire crystal face - I have smacked it into just with regards to anything you could imagine and nary a scratch.

Face is clean and easy to read. Best watch in this price range.

This is a beauteous watch
By Joe
This is the best looking chronograph watch I have ever seen. The face and band stand out and galore people have commented on the look of the watch. It keeps perfective time (as one would expect)and the functions work easily. The two side buttons are black and vanish keeping the watch's look very clean. Sometimes I even catch myself just looking at the watch. Also, It is not overly large.
