Sourcing Swarovski Binoculars & Telescopes

Apart from beautiful crystals and stunning beads and jewelry Swarovski is also know for its range of binoculars and telescopes. This may seem like quite a diverse range of products but what draws all parts of the company together is the engineering excellence which stems from the company's quest for precision and ever higher standards.

In 1935, Wilhelm Swarovski, the 17 yeard old son of the founder of Swarovski, was a keen astronomer and this led to his desire to build a much improved binocular than those available in the day. Wilhelm had ready access to the engineering in his Father's company and more importantly the glass production and finishing techniques that were so important in the production of Swarovski crystal. From these beginnings Swarovksi Optik was born and continues today to be a cutting edge leader in the industry.

Swarovski has a well deserved reputation for superior quality and thus Swarovski Optik binoculars and telescopes remain the preferred choice of many professional atronomers and nature watchers around the world.
