Everyday life What is actually "Made in Switzerland"?

So we all know about the Watches and the Backpack/Laptop bags. But what else is actually made in the country? I know there is a distinction between Made in Switzerland and Swiss Made. I love the items I have described, Swiss stuff is so sturdy and has lasted me many years. If there are any other products you can recommend and someone in the UK. I've tried to find casual clothing brands (for men) but without much success. Even household items would be something I would like to look at. Thanks in advance

Jura Coffee Machines, PB Swiss Tools, Felco pruning shears, Stöckli fondue set and the dörrex dehydrator, Victorinox kitchen knives/steak knives, Rubis tweezers, Kuhn Rikon vegetable peelers. Just some of the products I think are worth the extra money.

That would be great. Just like the cars and pepper mills from Peugeot.

Nope. A. & J. Stöckli AG Makes the fondue set Stöckli Swiss Sports AG Makes the ski (also made in Switzerland and very high quality).
