In 1884, Karl Elsener started a cutlery factory in the small village of Ibach near the Swiss Alps. He became the Swiss Army's official supplier of the famous soldier's knife. Later, he developed the now universally popular Officer and Sport knives, officially registered in 1897. In 1909, Karl Elsener named his company Victoria in memory of his mother, and when stainless steel (Inox) was invented in 1921, the family company became Victorinox.
As part of the company's expansion, Victorinox introduced the Swiss Army Watches in 1989, The Travel Gear in 1999.
