A little help from the Internet:
Swiza was born in 1904 in Moutier at the instigation of Louis Schwab. At the time, the company launched an alarm clock that became popular under the Levtoi brand. One hundred years later and after moving to Delémont in 1965, it was his grandson, Pierre Schwab, who had been running Swiza since 1979.
Slogan: Strive for Perfection
Subsidiaries: Helvetica Brands AG
Products: Swiss army knife, Watch, Clock, Luggage.
Despite being a hundred years old, the Swiza brand remains little known to the general public.
This is easily explained by the involvement of the Jura company in the luxury clock market.
