Daniel Swarovski (1892)
|
Daniel Swarovski nasceu em 1862, na Bohemia, where crystal defined life in his parents' house. Bohemia, at that time parte do Império Austro-Húngaro, was one of the most important manufacturing centers for vidros e cristais. Crystal was also cut in his father's small factory.
As a young boy Daniel often watched the work in his father's business. Later he completed his apprenticeship with his father, as well as at several other crystal-cutters. When, at the age of 21, he visited the “1. Elektrische Ausstellung” (First Electrical Exhibition) em Viena, he had the idea of his life: the new techniques from Siemens and Edison inspired him to develop a machine for cutting crystal.
He worked day and night at realizing his vision. Finally, nine years later (1892), he was ready to register a patent: a machine which, for the first time, made it possible to cut crystal to perfection. It was far faster and more precise than the manual work to date.
Thus began a new era in the world of crystal. The foundations had been laid for today's company. Daniel Swarovski together with his brother-in-law Franz Weis and with Armand Kosmann fundado em 1895.

The Austrian company Swarovski enjoys a world-wide reputation, not only for its famous crystals and crystal products, but also its small sparkling works of art for collectors. Such a work of art is also shown on this valuable stamp block, the product of a collaboration between the Austrian Post and Swarovski.
It was in 1892 that Daniel Swarovski applied for a patent for a machine that for the first time allowed crystal stones to be ground more quickly and more perfectly than by hand, an invention that revolutionised the processing of crystals. Together with his brother in law Franz Weis and Armand Kosmann, Daniel Swarovski founded today’s Swarovski company in 1895, moving from his home in Bohemia to Tyrol.
From 1908 on, Daniel Swarovski and his two sons sought for the ideal recipe for the production of crystals, and built special smelting furnaces. In 1932, Swarovski was finally able to start production of his own crystals. These jewels were so brilliant and perfect that they immediately caused a stir around the world. Over the next few years, Swarovski extended his range of products by adding a number of high-quality items such as reflecting rear lights and optical precision appliances and crystal chandeliers (Strass ®)
Em 1995, Swarovski celebrated the 100th anniversary of the company’s foundation, a highlight of the celebrations being the opening of the Swarovski Crystal Worlds at Wattens in Tyrol: a 2000 m² underground labyrinth of rooms bathed in the light and colours of millions of sparkling and glittering crystals that entice the visitor into a fantasy world designed by the artist André Heller. It was under his direction that the Crystal Worlds were also rebuilt in 2003, and inspirational wonder chambers are now an addition to the Crystal Worlds.
