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.”
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.”

嗅觉艺术总监 Pierre Aulas 是 Victorinox 香水系列背后的创意人物。若 Victorinox 有计划打造新款香水的需求时，他会倾听我们的想法并寻找我们最终想要的效果。然后他将这些想法转化为激发调香师创造力的嗅觉概述。
例如，就 2020 年的香水新品发布而言，我们与 Pierre 沟通，希望打造一款能够激发力量、山脉清新气息和冒险动力的香水。Pierre 将这一想法解释为“矿石、阳刚、新鲜和非凡质感”。之后，他将这一想法简要表达给调香师，后者随即打造出一款优雅、浓烈又纯正的香水：Swiss Army Rock，并加入我们推出的全新特色系列。
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.”
