Fonderie de Cloches Obertino Charles
A small village in Haut-Doubs, Labergement Sainte Marie, is home to one of the last bronze bell foundries in France. It was in 1834 that the present factory was founded. Since then, the company with the name "Obertino" remains family.
Despite modifications, in the heating of the alloy for example, the technique is the same: precise, artisanal, somewhat secret ...
In the workshop, the founder reproduces the same gestures as his ancestors: the molten alloy fills the sand molds carefully packed and adorned with motifs and inscriptions. The quality of the metal, the purity of the sound, the variety of models and the richness of the decors make each bell a unique piece.
