Leading manufacturer of high quality Swiss lifestyle products Victorinox has joined hands with Acer, one of the world’s top five personal computer companies, to launch wearable technology into Victorinox Swiss Army’s portfolio.

The partnership is formed to create innovative and relevant solutions for consumers who want wearable technology functionality that integrates with existing lifestyle products, such as a Swiss-made watch, said a statement.

The two companies will unveil their first product resulting from this partnership, a smart accessory for Victorinox Swiss Army’s INOX watch collection, at the ongoing Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2016 in Barcelona, Spain, it added.

Alexander Bennouna, CEO of Victorinox Swiss Army SA, said: “Our first collaboration with Acer is a wearable device that makes your watch smart, giving it multi-functionality much like our iconic Swiss Army Knife.”

“Our partnership with Acer enables us to introduce a unique solution that combines the best of both worlds, an innovative wearable accessory that adds technology and functionality to an existing INOX watch, without compromising its Swiss-made integrity and durability,” he said.

ST Liew, president of Smart Products Business Group, Acer Inc, said: “Acer is excited to partner with Victorinox Swiss Army on this journey that creates a unique and complementing synergy.”

“With Acer’s extensive knowledge and experience in computing and communication, we are confident that we can extend meaningful and relevant new experiences together to consumers who expect and demand the timeless tradition and craftsmanship of Victorinox Swiss Army,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
