Made by Andrea, loved by us
Designer Andrea García Peña loves the artistic side of her job. Learning the language of a brand in terms of colors, fonts and textures and applying them to a design is what drives her.
Andrea also loves our brand. So much so that she jumped at the chance to enter the Victorinox Limited Edition Design Contest – winning the Patterns of the World edition with her tie-dye motif. The judges of the contest – our fans around the globe – were inspired by its colorful, psychedelic style. It’s now one of ten designs on our Classic Limited Edition 2021 pocket knives.
“After many years designing, I still think “I DID THAT” when I see my work in use.”

Designer, Querétaro

Pierre l’a conçu, vous l’aimez
Le directeur artistique olfactif Pierre Aulas est le cerveau créatif derrière notre ligne de parfums. Lorsque nous décidons de créer un nouveau parfum, il nous écoute décrire la vision que nous en avons. Puis il transcrit ces idées en un briefing olfactif destiné à stimuler la créativité des parfumeurs.
Pour relancer nos parfums en 2020, nous avons par exemple expliqué à Pierre que nous souhaitions une fragrance qui évoque un sentiment de puissance et qui rappelle la fraîcheur des montagnes, ainsi que l’aventure. Pierre a traduit cela en une senteur « minérale, masculine et fraîche, à la personnalité très affirmée ». Une interprétation qu’il a ensuite transmise au parfumeur et qui a inspiré ce dernier pour créer le parfum élégant, puissant et authentique qu’est Swiss Army Rock et qui a rejoint depuis notre nouvelle collection Signature.
« La qualité possède une fragrance unique. C’est elle que je capture. »

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.”
