Anyone ever hear of this brand? They claim to be swiss made watches, but the prices seem to low? Anyone own or have owned one? Comments? |

Probably better known in Europe for their genuine Swiss army knives (though now a subsiduary of Victorinox). |

I had a black dial Commando Chronograph for awhile. It was a pretty sharp looking watch, but then I started getting really into automatics and gave it to my 17yo. I think all their stuff is quartz and the one I had seemed to be put together well. My brother in law even really liked it and his go to watch is a GMT Master II. I think, but not sure, that they're owned by Swiss Army/Victorinox. Last edited on Sat Sep 6th, 2008 03:47 am by murphy j |

I guess Wenger were pretty big with the pocket knives until the mid 80s. Then Gerber multi-tools became the thing to have - much handier for opening electronics. Plus the ban on carrying knives in the UK would have hit some of their market recently. A move into something traditionally Swiss would expand the business, and cuckoo clocks aren't great sellers these days. I quite often see the basic Infantry watch in home-shopping catalogues, pretty much aiming at a trend that a lot of rugged outdoors brands should also sell rugged accessories (like Timberland boots now have watches too). |
