Let's start with a 119m skyscraper in Paris, La Défense, called "Tour Winterthur". It is therefore around 20m higher than "Wintower", the highest skyscraper in Winterhur itself. It has got and kept its name from the original builder-owner, the "Winterthur insurance".

Why actually not call the next skyscraper in Winterthur "Winter Tour"? :)
