Dominique Renaud

The Fondation Dominique Renaud’s autumn 2026 season: a conversation on the cosmological origins of time, a decisive milestone for Memento Vivere and a new space to nurture and advance independent watchmaking. Amplitude II, the second edition of the conversation series, will explore contemporary cosmology on Thursday, 3 September 2026, in Geneva.

Today, legendary watchmaking engineer Dominique Renaud launched his eponymous brand with his entire team in Switzerland, in Tolochenaz near Lausanne, at a magnificent new watchmaking site dedicated to the development and manufacture of timepieces.

The first edition of Amplitude, the symposium held under the patronage of the Dominique Renaud Foundation on Saturday, September 6th during the Geneva Watch Days, was an overwhelming success. With a full house in attendance, the event confirmed the growing interest in the exploration of the representation of time, a subject that resonates far beyond the boundaries of watchmaking.

The board members are proud to announce the creation of the Dominique Renaud Foundation, dedicated to preserving, sharing, and celebrating the extraordinary legacy of Dominique Renaud, a visionary in contemporary watchmaking.
