The history of Swiss Army mens watch dates back several years
. The watch actually came about as the result of the Swiss Army knife developed by the family owned business. This company is responsible for making this watch one of the most popular brands in the world.
Swiss Army comes under two separate business names, but each one makes the authentic Swiss. Although the watches come under separate brands with different emblems, they are essentially the same company. The two brands also cover different pricing markets, but both quality and style are never compromised.
The original brand has created a shield within their design and the other brand borders their cross in a square. Although they use different designs, they are both essentially the real Swiss Watch. The parent company owns the subsequent brand, which offers lower priced watches. They are both known for producing the high quality brand this family business is famous for.
They both have very large product lines. There is a watch for every occasion. And the price range can be anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.
The higher end luxury collections are priced in the upper ranges. They are suitable for evening or formal wear. The sports watches that come under several designs and specialty lines are more moderately priced and can cost anywhere between $300 to $500 dollars. The extremely high end brands include several luxury collections which can cost up to $2,000.
To celebrate their one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary the company released a limited edition classic, only 125 men's sports watch were available. Most sold out before they reached retail outlets. Other limited editions also sell out rapidly over the world.
The company's brand history dates back to the late 1800s. The Swiss watch had its inception as a pocket knife then later branched out to include timepieces. Karl Elsener and his mother started the business with fine Swiss knifes, which are also well known and sold around the world. Their iconic watch was released in the American market in 1989 and is still a strong seller among fine watches.
