Enamel in Morez
Enamelling in Morez consists of coating a metal surface with a vitrified substance.
The establishment of the enamel business in the canton of Morez dates back to the middle of the 18th century after a Swiss dial enameller, requested by the city's watchmakers, moved there. Local artisans, familiar with metalworking, diversify their activities by first working on the manufacture of enamel dials. In 1935, nearly 400 enamellers made the economic heart of Morez beat faster. Street number plates, road signs, cemetery cores, signage for the SNCF and the Paris metro, and many other things, are all Morézian specialties.
Today Morez enamel can be used by architects, designers, manufacturers, local communities or artists.
