...BECOME ALMOST ROUTINE in the booming luxury business for curious minds to draw back the industry's proverbial Oz-like curtains to learn the tricks of the trade???how a $10,000 French handbag is stitched or where Brazilian gemstones are mined. But at Swarovski crystals in Wattens, Austria, a town of 8,000 about 20 minutes northeast of Innsbruck by car, the factory?and all the technical knowhow stashed inside?is strictly off limits...

In many ways, Feisal is an unlikely catalyst for such sweeping change. He is basically the monarch of a 19th century state that is edging cautiously into modern times (see box page...
