Victorinox Swiss Army – History
Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach,
Switzerland in 1884. Seven years later, in 1891, Karl supplied
the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s . After the
death of his mother in 1909, Karl Elsener introduced the brand
name Victoria and the iconic Cross and Shield emblem is
registered as a trademark. With the advent of stainless steel,
Karl Elsener coined the company’s name, Victorinox, by combining
his mother’s name with “inox”, an abbreviation of the French word
for rust-resistant steel, “inoxydable”. After World War II, the
“Original Swiss Army ” began its successful progression
around the world and enjoyed exceptional popularity. In 1989,
Victorinox entered the timepiece business in the United States
under the brand name “Swiss Army”. Ten years later, Victorinox
joined the Travel Gear market, partnering with TRG Group in St.
Louis. And in 2001, Victorinox fashion was introduced in the US
to further capture the brand’s essence of practical luxury. In
2002, in order to promote global unity, the Victorinox Swiss Army
timepiece brand was launched internationally. In 2007, Victorinox
set up Victorinox Swiss Army Fragrance AG, and in 2009 Victorinox
Swiss Unlimited was launched. 2014 marks Victorinox Swiss Army’s
130th anniversary, and each Victorinox Swiss Army product
embodies the spirit of the Legendary Original Swiss Army , a
universal symbol of Functionality, Innovation, Quality and Iconic
Design.
