Unsurprisingly nothing new has come out in those 7 years besides cloned wengers and coloured Alox.
I assume the same sales problems hurt Wenger more due to their smaller name power when branching into other products and must have been a big part of their buyout in 2005.
But aren’t all those outsourced to cheap labour countries then simply badged up. I know all the new Wenger stuff available has the “made in China “ label - so guessing Vics the same??If I recall correctly the Wenger business tool is accredited to being the straw that broke wengers back.Never a company to do half measures
no? When Victorinox acquired Wenger it rebranded it as SwissGear and focused the subsidiary on budget friendly backpacks and luggage etc. They're all still made in Switzerland.
That’s odd, I own a laptop bag (Wenger) with made in China logo insideAlso seen various Wenger rucksacks in stores, when I examined all had the made in China label??
That is odd... Is it still called Wenger? Or SwissGear?
I thought victorinox automatics had ETA etc. movements.Their INOX is also interesting.Certain watch forum members will disregard anything that is not made by the company they have most money invested in. If it not e.g. Patek it is rubbish etc.
All mechanical watches from Victorinox have an automatic Swiss movement to ensure the greatest precision and accuracy. We use the Kaliber ETA 2824-2 with a power gauge of 38 hours, the Sellita SW 200 with a power gauge of 38 hours, and the ETA VALJOUX 7750 with a power gauge of 48 hours. We prefer to use the last of these for our Swiss mechanical watches with a chronograph function.
