Product Description
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 first 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 incorporated her name into the brand and unveiled its 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 partners with the American TRG Group in St. Louis and enters into the international 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 its heritage, the future is equally inspiring. Innovation is at the heart of each Victorinox product it introduces, with exciting technical advancement throughout all its product categories.

Swiss Army Watch, red dial,

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Men's Watch (Watch)
I just wanted a watch that didn't do a million and one things, since I tend to forget what buttons do what. Browsing through Amazon, this watch popped up. I thought it looked striking, and then I noticed the price and I was sold! Delivery was quick, especially since I am a soldier in Afghanistan. It is a classic, beautiful time piece and I am glad I purchased it.

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Men's Watch (Watch)
I've only owned the watch for a little over a week but I really like the way it looks. I love the red dial, it really stands out. The face is large and easy to read. At night the little dots light up fine for most of the night. There is no light other than that. I wanted a watch that I could wear without too much worry about damaging. I can wear this swimmming and don't have to worry about taking it off on the beach. I also ride a bicycle and motorcycle and there is a lot of vibration in both. I noticed that on the road I travel on my bike, the watch was just vibrating all over the place. Still, "it never missed a tick- took a liken and kept on ticken as the old commercial use to say." My Harley is a little smoother but then again no problem there either. The watch band was way large for my small wrist. I had to take out 3 links. So those of you with large wrists should find that there is enough band there for you. I did what the reviewer Charles did and bought the tool for a couple of bucks. It was easy to fix. All in all, I expect that this watch will outlast me. If it doesn't, I'll let you know.
