#4292 #4 .
Swarovski is an Austrian producer of glass based in Wattens in Tyrol, founded in 1895 by Daniel Swarovski. Swarovski was born in northern Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) in 1862 to a glass cutter who owned a small glass factory. It was there that the young Swarovski served an apprenticeship, soon surpassing his father in the art of glass-cutting. In 1892 he patented an electric cutting machine that facilitated the production of crystal glass, and which paved the way to form his own company. In 1895, Swarovski, financier Armand Kosmann, and Franz Weis founded the Swarovski company, originally known as A. Kosmann, D. Swarovski & Co. and shortened to KS & Co. The company was established in Wattens to take advantage of local hydroelectricity for the energy-intensive grinding processes Swarovski had patented. In 1899 they began to use the edelweiss flower in their logo and expanded to France, where it was known as Pierres Taillées du Tyrol (“Cut stones from Tyrol”). In 1919 Swarovski founded Tyrolit, selling grinding, sawing, drilling, and dressing tools, as well as becoming a popular supplier of heavy tools and machines. In 1935 Swarovski’s son Wilhelm created a customized pair of binoculars, which led to the launch of Swarovski Optik in 1956 after Daniel Swarovski’s death. It now manufactures optical instruments such as binoculars, spotting scopes, rifle scopes, and telescopes. In 1977 Swarovski entered the American jewelry market, by then evenly split into three major industry areas between the three companies. The company remained a family-run business until 2020, when COVID and the economic downturn led to massive executive changes along with closing 750 retail stores and laying off 6,000 employees globally. Swarovski glass is still produced by melting a mixture of quartz sand, soda, potash and other ingredients at high temperatures. Lead, usually used in the form of lead tetroxide, is not used anymore and all Swarovski crystal glass produced since 2012 has been lead-free. To create crystal glass that lets light refract in a rainbow spectrum, Swarovski coats some of its products with special metallic chemical coatings. The company runs a crystal-themed museum, the “Swarovski Kristallwelten (Crystal Worlds)” at its original Wattens site (near Innsbruck, Austria). Their pieces have become some of the most used in films and music videos and most worn by celebrities at festivals, awards shows, and charity events, and are considered some of the finest modern glass luxury pieces in the world.
