Histoires de fans et de créateurs
Nous les concevons, vous les aimez
Nos fans aiment nos produits. Nous aimons nos fans.
Nous concevons des produits tels que nous les aimerions nous-mêmes. C’est-à-dire d’une qualité suisse remarquable et offrant une fonctionnalité qui réponde aux besoins de leur propriétaire. L’innovation est pour nous le secret de produits modernes, créatifs et intelligents. Et notre design emblématique sans fioritures repose sur des lignes simples, distinctives et épurées. La promesse que nous faisons aux consommateurs définit les valeurs de notre marque.
Le lien émotionnel qui s’est tissé entre nous et nos fans est donc authentique. Nous concevons des produits pour vous et vous choisissez nos produits parce que vous les aimez. C’est ainsi que nous nous inspirons les uns les autres.
Faites la connaissance de nos créateurs et de quelques-uns de nos fans.
Andrea les conçoit, nous les adorons
La graphiste Andrea García Peña adore le côté artistique de son travail. Ce qui la motive, c’est d’apprendre le langage d’une marque en termes de couleurs, de polices et de textures pour mieux les appliquer à un design.
Andrea apprécie également notre marque. À tel point qu’elle a sauté sur l’occasion de participer au concours de design Victorinox Limited Edition… et remporté l’édition Patterns of the World avec son motif tie and dye. Les juges du concours (nos fans du monde entier) ont été conquis par son style coloré et psychédélique. C’est maintenant l’un des dix motifs qui ornent nos couteaux de poche Classic Limited Edition 2021.
« Même après plusieurs années dans le design, je continue à me dire : "C’EST MOI QUI L’AI FAIT !" lorsque je vois mes créations utilisées dans la vie courante. »
Andrea García Peña
Designer, Querétaro
As a mechanic, social worker and nature educator, Felix Immler teaches kids and their adults how to safely handle a pocket knife. His very popular hands-on courses for Victorinox mix making toys out of things found in a forest with wilderness and survival techniques. Felix’s YouTube videos also show how a pocket knife can turn a bored kid into an energized one.
Felix is definitely one of our biggest fans. Inspired at age eight by a Huntsman pocket knife, he’s since been able to combine his love for the Swiss Army Knife and the outdoors with his commitment to teaching kids.
“It inspires me to wonder. And wander.”

Made by Pierre, loved by you
Olfactory Artistic Director Pierre Aulas is the creative brain behind our range of fragrances. When we decide to create a new scent, he listens to our vision for what we want. Then he converts those ideas into an olfactive brief that will spark the perfumer’s creativity.
For our 2020 fragrance re-launch, for example, we told Pierre we’d like a fragrance that evoked a sense of strength, mountain freshness and adventure. Pierre translated this into “mineral, masculine, fresh and very textured”. He then briefed the perfumer, who was inspired to create the elegant, strong and authentic fragrance Swiss Army Rock, which is part of our new Signature Collection.
“Quality has a distinct aroma. I bottle it.”
Pierre Aulas Olfactory Director, Paris
Made by us, loved by Rutger
Rutger Geerling is a photographer who travels the world, capturing amazing images of electronic music festivals. And when we say ‘travels’, we mean A LOT. From his native Netherlands to Japan and the United States, Rutger takes his passion for dance music photography with him all around the world.
Rutger is a genuine fan of our products. His photography equipment needs to go everywhere with him and for this he is using specialist cases, but for his personal items he prefers travel gear that is nice and light, while at the same time sturdy enough for his smaller professional items and equipment.
Joelle Peschl and Vivienne Koch are synchronized swimmers who represent Switzerland at international level. For them, every second counts, every movement is coordinated. They work together to create a beautiful program that looks effortless, but is in reality rooted in strength. What they do every day is all about excellence, perfection, quality.
We gave Joelle and Vivienne the new I.N.O.X. V to test, which is now water-resistant to 100m. They told us what they loved about this timepiece is that even though it was already an icon, our desire for improvement made it even better. And they see parallels between it and what they do: the strength and complication of the watch is literally below the dial, while the beauty of the watch is what you see.
“It’s like our sport – there’s strength below the surface and a smile above it.”
