Is VICTORINOX the original makers of swiss army knives?

Excellent question... you actually made me look for the answer in Wikipedia.

"In 1891, Karl Elsener, then owner of a company that made surgical equipment discovered (to his dismay) that the pocket knives supplied to the Swiss Army were in fact made in Germany. Outraged, he founded the Association of Swiss Master Cutlers. Its goal was simple: Swiss knives for the Swiss Army.

Elsener began working on what was the predecessor to the modern Swiss Army knife, called the "Soldier's Knife". The original had a wooden handle (as opposed to the plastic and metal seen today), and featured a blade, a screwdriver, a can opener, and a punch. This knife was sold to the Swiss army, but Elsener was not satisfied with its first incarnation. In 1896, after 5 years of hard work, Elsener managed to put blades on both sides of the handle using a special spring mechanism, allowing him to use the same spring to hold them in place, an innovation at the time. This allowed Elsener to put twice as many features on the knife; he added a second blade and a corkscrew."

Interesting. It appear that Elsener, through his company Victorinox, was indeed the inventor of the Swiss Army Knife.

Mid-range brands during crisis
No question, 2009 was a tough year for everybody. Did some brands, however, have it easier than others? Did mid-range, more affordable watches suffer less than other segments of the watch industry? The crisis was, in fact, an opportunity for these mid-range brands to gain market share.
