The TimeKeeper is an unusual 91mm Victorinox model, that is a merging of two great Swiss traditions: Swiss Army Knives and timepieces! Embedded in the front scale is a small analogue clock, which is added to the popular toolset of the Compact, (also removing the tweezers).
Name disambiguation: The TimeKeeper Alarm is a similarly named, but completely different, model which features a digital clock in one scale and the Tinker main toolset.
The TimeKeeper was discontinued in 2007.

Red or black Cellidor scales. The top scale bulges slightly (approx. 3mm) to allow room for the clock.
History
Introduced in early 1992, it was discontinued in 2007, (although supply was available from inventory for some years after that). Early versions had a dial with Roman numerals at XII and VI, with ten dashes for the other hour marks, later versions had a dial with all twelve Arabic numerals (see image on screen).
The TimeKeeper has a bigger brother the SwissChamp SuperTimer, which was a SwissChamp with the TimeKeeper scales.
The Timekeeper paved the way for the later models with digital timepieces in the scales, such as the Traveller.
