The Dominique Renaud brand has chosen the path of pure innovation, questioning the very nature of mechanics, time, and its representation. Each creation is the visible expression of a new horological approach. An evident form, housing a radical mechanism, rethought from its very foundations.
Dominique Renaud, a new haute horlogerie brand, announces its official preview launch from April 14 to 19, 2026, at the Time To Watches exhibition in Geneva.
Dominique Renaud, disruption through evidence
In 2026, Dominique Renaud creates a new brand to express the most accomplished vision of his work as an inventor and designer.
The Dominique Renaud brand embodies strong horological principles — an exploratory watchmaking approach that transcends established codes.
Dominique Renaud introduces a disruptive aesthetic, rooted in minimalism, to clearly express a new way of approaching watchmaking. The horological language developed here can only exist within a completely original form. Each Dominique Renaud creation appears as an obvious statement.
This is why a Dominique Renaud can be recognized from afar: its architecture and the unique spectacle of its display reveal a perfect coherence between function and the form that emerges from it.

Legendary movement constructor
Dominique Renaud is a pioneering movement constructor, a watchmaker’s watchmaker. Having become a key figure in the industry since the founding in 1986 of the legendary Renaud & Papi manufacture (later acquired by Audemars Piguet), Dominique Renaud is the renowned designer behind dozens of prestigious complications created for some of the most illustrious watchmaking houses.
Inspired by co-creation
Dominique Renaud never designs alone: he shares, listens, tests, challenges, and builds together with others. Like every great watchmaker, he cultivates a collaborative, experimental, and humble approach to his craft.
