Upon invention of an automatic grinding machine at the end of the 19th century, Daniel Swarovski was able to open the doorway to a fantastic world. The magic word was "crystal"! A raw material, to which the most ancient cultures had long since ascribed magical, beneficial and blessed effects. The fascinating material transformed the world of fashion and beauty into an enticingly sparkling universe. It inspired mankind and enriched both art and culture. And today, crystal has become one way of creating a connection between people. And a light of joy, which they can now gaze in wonder upon at the Crystal Worlds in Wattens.
