"Swiss" vs. "Swiss Army"
I saw advertised a Swiss Army Watch. Is this something different from a Swiss Watch? If so, how is it different? I know that Swiss Army knives are versatile knives; does this hold true for Swiss Army watches?

"Swiss Army" is a trademarked term that was derrived from US soldiers purchasing knives at the PX. It has been used by several makers over the years. The US trademark is currently owned by Victorinox SA.
