[edit] company location

the english article says that swarovski ag is based in feldmeilen near zürich, switzerland. actually, it's based in wattens, austria (see this article or german wikipedia entry). --Mnolf 12:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

The above cited article refers to 1895. Multiple sources confirm the corporate HQ, Daniel Swarovski Corporation AG (aka Swarovski International Holdings), is in Feldmeilen. See Google. Tearlach 15:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

wow, i guess you do learn something new every day ;-) thanks for the clarification. --Mnolf 17:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Swarovski Crystal is still based in Wattens [2], but it's now one of the subsidiaries of the parent corporation (I guess they set it up in Zürich as it's the major financial focus of Switzerland) that manages the wider portfolio of Swarovski products. Tearlach 11:37, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
