Swiss Army is known for its famed Swiss army knives. These knives have helped us to slash wrists, open bottles, clear ear wax, spread butter on the bread, cut nails and what not! These multi functional Swiss Army Knives have always been a raging success all over the world.

More so because of their multi functionality. For their 125th anniversary, Victorinox and Swiss Army are launching their limited edition Travel Alarm which comes in a fold out design. It is inspired by the steel spring mechanism system of Swiss Army Knives. It comes with tooth picks and tweezers which are a trademark of the Swiss Army knives.

The Travel Alarm will of course tell you the time as well. It costs 4550 and I am sure it is the best that you could buy for yourself. I would say, go ahead and get this while the stocks still last.
