Victorinox Timekeeper

I think I brought this up a long time ago and everyone seemed convinced that it must have been a Voyager that I saw:



I remember Target carrying them briefly, does anyone actually have one of these?

The traditional Timekeeper is a Compact with an analog clock in one of the scales.

I thought that carried the name Traveller or Voyager....

That is a bit of an oddity, I'm trying to think if I've ever even seen a pic of one  :think:
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I did some research on that model a while back.  It may not have been very popular at the time for some reason. It had a short life and many were liquidated at great prices.  It could also be they were very popular, and they immediatly saw the opportunity to extend the functions in updated models.

As I noted on SAKwiki there appears to be some closely related models, or possibly different names for the same model.

It appears to be not too common in the hands of collectors at this point, but with the evolution of the voyagers and travellers, I suspect it's collectability will rise (shhh don't tell anyone).
