Renaud Tixier is an independent Swiss watch brand founded by Dominique Renaud and Julien Tixier, bringing together two generations of exceptional watchmaking talent around a shared ambition: to rethink the fundamental principles of mechanical horology. Established in 2023, the maison unites Dominique Renaud’s unparalleled legacy as co-founder of Renaud & Papi, one of the most influential complication specialists in modern watchmaking, with Julien Tixier’s remarkable mastery of traditional handcraft and contemporary movement engineering. Rather than pursuing complexity for its own sake, Renaud Tixier focuses on meaningful mechanical innovation, questioning long-established conventions to improve the efficiency, functionality and elegance of mechanical watches. Every creation is conceived as the first step in a broader exploration of micromechanics, combining rigorous engineering, artisanal execution and refined aesthetics to shape a new vision of haute horlogerie—one where tradition serves as the foundation for genuine innovation rather than an end in itself.
