    Maybe it’s a Swiss thing, but I was at the Victorinox store in Zurich last month and there was a mini pocket knife with a gram of gold embedded into the plastic handle. Very much like the dial of this watch.

    The store employee said, if you’re every strapped for money with this knife at least you always know you’ve got a gram of gold as backup.

      My (Swiss) kids got these gold bars for baptism gifts. It’s a bit of a tradition to give gold. 1g isn’t worth that much, but it symbolizes wealth and financial stability.
