Victorinox: the Swiss Army knife people, in watchmaking too

The name Victorinox is associated with one thing: the quintessential Swiss Army knife. That very idea — rugged, functional and honest tools — is what the brand has been bringing to its watches for decades. Swiss, practical and built to withstand anything.

From Ibach-Schwyz to the world

The story begins in 1884, when Karl Elsener opened his cutlery workshop in Ibach-Schwyz, in the heart of Switzerland. An empire of tools was born there; the watches came later, inheriting that same philosophy of Swiss quality and functionality.

Its character

Tough, legible and well-built watches, clearly designed for everyday wear and adventure. No frills: function and reliability, just like the famous knife.

Why a Victorinox

Because it offers Swiss quality, robustness and a name with a hard-earned reputation, at a very reasonable price. A watch to wear without a second thought.

Where to buy it in Spain

At World Watch Museum we are an official Victorinox dealer: brand-new watches, 100 % authentic, with official warranty, free shipping and a boutique in Madrid.
