 Daniel Swarovski

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.
