Chime maker: developer of musical bells

Ars Sonora, our entity for artistic bells, produces carillons with a beautiful design and an unequalled sound quality. We provide you as well with a web site to have a look at our chimes and bells, and to order online.

If you are looking for a chime maker, we invite you to visit the Paccard museum. The Paccard museum is the place where you can contemplate the artistic creations of our bell foundry. Chimes, bells, and carillons are exposed there to be a testimony to the high proficiency of Paccard. The ancestral processes and techniques that have been used in 1796, when the first bell was produced, proved efficient until today. In fact, Paccard’s workshops use the same materials (pure red copper and black tin), with the same techniques, and following the same method of development. What has been added are new sophisticated machines, designed specifically for chime makers.

Paccard is not only a distinguished chime maker. It is also the producer of the finest carillons in the world.
