Dominique Renaud is a name synonymous with the pinnacle of watchmaking excellence. With a passion deeply rooted in generations of horologists, Renaud co-founded Renaud & Papi in 1986, establishing the first independent movement development company in the industry. Over a career spanning more than four decades, he has collaborated with the world’s most prestigious Maisons, crafting iconic calibers and complications. His impressive portfolio includes 25 groundbreaking watch movements, each a testament to his relentless pursuit of mechanical perfection.

On the other hand, Julien Tixier, at just 31, has already made a significant impact in the world of luxury watchmaking. Known for his exceptional craftsmanship, design prowess, and precision in material handling, Tixier has been instrumental in creating monumental timepieces, working alongside renowned horologists like Sébastien Rousseau. Inspired by the revolutionary DR01 launched by Dominique Renaud in 2016, Julien envisioned a future where traditional watchmaking could transcend its limits.

In 2024, these two creative paths converged, giving birth to Renaud Tixier. This brand symbolizes the perfect blend of tradition and innovation, where timeless mastery meets avant-garde vision. Together, Dominique Renaud and Julien Tixier are crafting the future of horology, one exceptional timepiece at a time.
