The Heart of Swarovski
The Manufaktur in Wattens is home to the artistry and innovation that has come to define Swarovski. It is here that the passions passed down from the House’s founder, Daniel Swarovski, to the crystal experts of today, continue to shine brightest. The Manufaktur is open for select private tours only.
Origins of the House
At the Manufaktur entrance, Shotaa sits beside a vintage crystal cutting machine, carefully preserved for more than one hundred years. Invented by Daniel Swarovski, the machine enabled him to successfully master high precision crystal cutting. Today, Swarovski uses machines developed in-house as well as those created by trusted partners to exacting specifications.
Pursuing Innovation
With new crystal cuts, colors, and sizes being continually produced and perfected, Swarovski Manufaktur is renowned for pushing the boundaries of technical creativity. Crystal experts also work tirelessly to develop processes and materials that support the House’s sustainability initiatives.
A Legacy of Elegance
The Vienna Opera Ball is one of Austria’s premier cultural highlights. Amidst the historic glow of the capital’s Opera House, debutantes wear tiaras crafted by Swarovski. Shota studies holds the 2025 tiara, designed by Global Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert. Shaped with feather-like curves, the piece pays homage to the Swarovski Swan emblem and 130 years of spellbinding savoir-faire.
Illuminating Pop Icons
