Keeping Time the Swiss Way With a Swiss Army Watch (swiss army maverick)

MacGyver probably had one. Rambo probably had one. George W. Bush should probably get one. Schwarzenegger certainly had one in Commando, and some of us remember a time back in the late 1980s when no self-respecting fashionista would be seen without one. For years, the Swiss army watch have been people's accessory of choice. They are not just timepieces used by the military as a standard issue. They are widely accepted means for keeping track of time. What's more, the Swiss army watch is unlike other watches in that it is given the same stamp of approval by those doyens of all that is precise yet stylish in engineering - the Swiss.
Some Things Don't Run in the Family

The Swiss army watch and the Swiss army knife are not just related, they are closely related. In fact, both have the same manufacturer. Unlike the Swiss army knife and its myriad attachments and extras, however, the Swiss army watch comes with almost no accessories. In fact, its design is so clean some people find it looking too painfully simple. The Swiss army watch would never win awards for complexity or creativity. It boasts of no extra space, no array of buttons, knobs, sundials, or secret compartments for hiding a wire garrote. As with almost anything Swiss, the design ethic applied to the general aesthetic of the Swiss army watch is to "keep it simple; keep it clean."
