Does Victorinox make automatic watches?
Yes! Victorinox makes automatic (also called mechanical) watches, which are also known for their greatest precision and accuracy. In fact, according to many, Victorinox makes some of the best automatic watches for men. Some watch aficionados shy away from automatic watches for fear the watch will wear down if not always wound. This is a misnomer. Victorinox’s automatic watches are safe when the movement stops. They simply require another wind-up prior to wearing it again.

Is Victorinox Watch a Luxury Watch Brand?
Many timepiece lovers associate Victorinox with Swiss Army Knives and Watches, but the truth is Victorinox is also known for designing and manufacturing some very high-end, luxury watches. The confusion comes from the company taking over the original Swiss Army Knife manufacturer, Wenger, in 2005. Victorinox rarely uses anything but high-end Swiss quartz/battery movements and the watch designs have been heralded for manufacturing some of the most impressive watches in the luxury category.
