Stylish, affordable, and innovative - find the best Swiss Army watches online

The Victorinox Swiss Army company was started in Ibach, Switzerland in 1891 when Master Cutler Karl Elsener built the Swiss military a multi-functional army knife: the pocketknife.

The name "Victorinox" comes from a combination of Elsener's mother's name, Victoria, and "inoxydable," meaning stainless. The company continued to produce high quality, innovative knives, which later showed up at NYC Museum of Art's permanent collection as well as NASA space explorations. They are now known for their high quality watches as well as pocket knives.

Swiss Army provides a number of high quality watch collections in several categories: active - exceptional value and functionality and designed durable enough for adventuring yet stylish enough for everyday work, classic - precise with a clean design, professional - features high tech measurement capabilities, and accessories such as pocket watches, travel alarm clocks, and high-quality writing instruments.

Their latest innovation in watches is the Swiss Army’s Night Vision, introduced in Bienne, Switzerland, July 7, 2003. It is the world premier fusion of advanced lighting technology with a Swiss precision watch. It has five lighting modes – Extended Light, Signal, Quick Search, Dial Illumination and an LED Locator Beacon and was engineered to meet the everyday needs of urbanites and travelers alike, yet it also can assist in emergency situations.
