In 1884, in the small village of Ibach near the Swiss Alps, Karl Elsener started his cutlery factory. He became the official
supplier of the Swiss army with the famous soldier's knife. Later, he developed the now universally popular Officer and
Sport knives, officially registered in 1897. In 1909, Karl Elsener named his company Victoria in memory of his mother,
and when stainless steel (Inox) was invented in 1921, the family company became Victorinox.
Today, the company managed by Carl Elsener Sr. and his son, Carl Elsener Jr, employs 1000 people and makes 25 million
multi-tools per year, distributed in more than 100 countries. Whether in Museum of Modern Art in New York City or
accompanying Everest expeditions or NASA missions, Victorinox multi-tools are everywhere.
From this impressive legacy, Victorinox Swiss Army Watches inherit the quality, durability, and ingenuity of the legendary
Victorinox multi-tools. Produced in our workshops in Switzerland and guaranteed for 3 years, Victorinox Swiss Army
timepieces represent a collection of high performance, attractively designed watches geared to the largest segment
of the market.
