In 1895, Wattens, Austria,
a gentleman by the name of Daniel Swarovski formed his company,
now known as the international entity, Swarovski.
Born in Bohemia, Daniel
Swarovski invented and patented a machine, enabling him to cut
crystals with extreme precision. To be able to power his grinding
machine with hydro - electric power, Daniel Swarovski moved to
Wattens in Tyrol with his family, and with this he laid the
foundation for the realisation of his crystalline
vision.
