Swarovski Magnets

Do You Know About the Swarovski Magnets ?

In our "Happy Halloween" article, we mentioned the Swarovski Halloween Magnets.

Well, Swarovski also issued other Magnets from their Crystal Memories line of products. Most retailed for $49.50, bear the Swarovski logo, and are now retired.

They include the following: 

• My Little Hearts Magnets -   A set of  3 hearts with 3 in red and one in clear crystal. 
• Ernie the Elephant Magnet - Designed by Eva Maria Reid in Crystal Cal. 
• South Sea Magnets  - Designed by Elke Kumar. A set of sea creatures with a light blue angelfish, a Crystal Cal seahorse, a pink octopus, and a yellow butterflyfish. 
• My Little Journey Magnets includes a yellow starfish, a Crystal Cal airplane, a Crystal Cal cruise ship, and a green palm tree. 
• My Little Polar Bears Magnets - Designed by Keiko Arai. This set includes a mother polar bear and polar bear cub in Crystal Cal. 
• My Little Sheep Magnets designed by Eva Maria Reid. Consists of one black sheep and one Crystal Clear sheep.
• My Little Ocean Friends Arctic Dream Magnets - Again designed by Eva Maria Reid and includes a Crystal Cal iceberg, a Crystal Cal bear, a royal blue sea lion, and a light blue seal pup. 
• Good Luck Magnets (shown below)- Designed by Elke Kumar, set of 4 with a four leaf clover, horseshoe, heart and ladybug. 

   
These were issued in 2004 and retired in 2004 in the U.S. They were 'globally' retired in 2005.

The Swarovski Clocks

While Swarovski may be best known for its crystal figurines, they also make functional items as well. Some of the most useful are the Swarovski Clocks.

Swarovski issued time pieces of elegance in the Silver Crystal line; some of the oldest clocks were produced from 1987 through 1992.

• Swarovski Athena Clock
• Belle Époque Clock
• Colosseum Clock (only available in the European market); in addition a 'special edition' had a religious motif on it
• El Dorado Clock (only available in the European market)
• Napoleon Clock
• Polar Star Clock

Worth mentioning also is the Solaris Clock, 1998-2004 originally in the Silver Crystal line & later moved to Crystal Home Accessories in 2002.

These clocks were available, with the exception of the Solaris, in 2 different metal finishes in gold and rhodium. They were also available with 3 different faces, allowing you to choose one of 3 styles:

• Alarm face - a simple face with roman numerals
• Date face - had numbers 1-31 instead of the “3” on the face to indicate the day of the month
• Moon Dial face - also had roman numerals, but other dials on the face also indicated the phase of the moon.

Each clock had ‘Swarovski’ printed across the face.

Seiko precision clock movements were used in what was then known as the Selection product line (now Home Interiors) and included:

• Enigma Carriage Clock: 1992 – 1998 Limited Edition of 6450 units with a removable base
• Helios Table Clock: 1992 – 2004 Roman numerals are displayed in the crystal component & of note is the fact that the number four on this clock is a III rather than IV.
• Curacao Table Clock: 1995 – 2000 clear crystal with a beautiful a blue natural Sodalith stone displayed on the front of it.
• Providence Table Clock: 1998 – 2003 this was a numbered edition & the most expensive clock, retailing at $850.
• Allegra Pendulum Clock: 1999 – 2004 numbered pendulum clock, done in an art deco style.
• Op Art Clock: 2002 – 2004 conical crystal with classic long facets; funky abstract décor without any numbers on the clock face & two drop-shaped metal front feet. The Artist's signature, Anna Gili, is engraved on the back of the clock. This issue had different product numbers assigned for pieces issued in the U.S.A. & Europe.

Swarovski made a single clock in the Daniel Swarovski Home Accessories product line, the Cadence Table Clock, from 2002 – 2005. This clock has the Daniel Swarovski logo on it.

Swarovski also issued a few non-functioning clocks in the Crystal Moments (formerly Crystal Memories) product line:

an Alarm Clock 1998 – 2002 and Mantle Clock: 1996 – 2001

Functioning clocks in the Crystal Moments product line were part of the 'Secrets' theme group & they opened, hiding a 'secret clock' inside:

• Book Clock : 1999 – 2003
• Gift Clock: 1997 – 2004
• Globe Clock: 1997 – 2004
• Handbag Clock: 1997 – 2004

A Kris Bear functioning Clock in this line was also issued from 1997 – 2002. Kris wears a green & red ribbon.

The Swarovski Kris Bears

39 or so Kris Bears have been issued by Swarovski, as part of the Crystal Moments product line. I really don't know why they just do not have their own individual product line, like the Lovlots, since there are so many of them. Each figurine depicts a certain occasion, message an activity. Older issues included picture frames and a working clock. One set of issues portrayed bears from different countries. And, of course, there are the Christmas ornaments. 

The newest lot issued during 2011 include:

A Rose For You - Clear crystal bears holding a rose in Bordeaux and a silver-tone metal stem, retailing at $165.

You and I - two faceted clear crystal bears depicted in a marriage ceremony; the grrom's bow tie is in Light Sapphire Satin crystal & she carries a Violet crystal flower with Amethyst details. They also retail for $165.

Ltd. Edition Halloween - Trick or treat! Clear crystal, Halloween Kris Bear carries a vibrant Red Topaz crystal pumpkin lantern with a silver-tone metal handle. Only Available While supplies last, retailing at $100, and will retire at year end.
