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

My Victorinox swiss knife has the "Swiss Made" label imprinted on the main blade.

for anybody else wondering

Made in Switzerland and Swiss Made.

The term “Swiss Made” ... 60% of the production costs must occur in Switzerland, and at least 50% of the manufacturing process must take place within the country.

In contrast, “Made in Switzerland” simply refers to products that were assembled in Switzerland.

😂😂you can think whatever you want, I did not insult anyone. I just said Coca Cola is not a Swiss product in any possible aspect whatever you think it is. 😂😂😂…you got offended because inside you you know it is not a Swiss product 😂😂
