History
Daniel Swarovski (24 October 1862 – 23 January 1956) was a Czech-born Austrian glass cutter, jeweler, and founder of the Swarovski crystal dynasty.
He was born in northern Bohemia (now Czech Republic).
His father was a glass cutter and owned a small glass factory.
- It was there that the young Swarovski served an apprenticeship, becoming skilled in the art of glass-cutting.
In 1892, he patented an electric cutting machine that facilitated the production of lead crystal glass jewelry, which until then had to be cut by hand.
- In 1895, he immigrated to Austria and partnered with Armand Kosman and Franz Weis to form "A. Kosmann, D. Swarovski & Co."
They built a crystal-cutting factory in Wattens, Tyrol, to take advantage of local hydroelectricity for the energy-intensive grinding processes Danile Swarovski had patented.
