The origins of Victorinox date back to 1884, when Karl Elsener opened a knifemaking workshop in a village in central Switzerland. Elsener delivered his first soldier’s knife to the Swiss Army in 1891. Six years later, he created the Swiss Officer’s and Sports Knife – now known as the original Swiss Army Knife™ – which would lay the foundation for a thriving global company.

Victorinox is now a fourth-generation family business operating in over 120 countries. In addition to its iconic pocket knives, Victorinox produces premium household and professional knives, watches and travel gear.

We’ve teamed up with Victorinox to offer you the chance to win its latest watch. Concept One is the sixth installment in its new design direction inspired by its DNA. This series introduces unprecedented innovative movements in the Victorinox lineup, empowering wearers to manage their time with confidence and truly spend their time wisely.
