Haute Horlogerie Dominique Renaud: a factory for ideas and creations
Located in Tolochenaz, at the heart of the Swiss watchmaking region, Haute Horlogerie Dominique Renaud (HHDR) is the epicentre of our watchmaking ambition.
Here, Dominique Renaud has surrounded himself with an ecosystem tailored to his vision, bringing his creations to life: a place of research, a transdisciplinary constellation of talent and an integrated manufacturing chain.
A crossroads of expertise and ideas
By bringing together people from a variety of backgrounds, HHDR deliberately broadens the traditional scope of watchmaking, becoming a source of ideas as much as of objects – rooted in Swiss mechanical tradition, yet focused on contemporary technologies and uses.
HHDR is a true incubator where vision takes shape through collective effort. Nearly twenty people – watchmakers, designers, engineers and experts – collaborate and explore new forms of watchmaking with rigour, consistency and freedom.
The cradle of watchmaking genius
The HHDR is reigniting the collective spirit of watchmaking genius. It embodies Dominique Renaud’s vision by fostering and encouraging the research, experimentation and long-term approach essential to groundbreaking watchmaking.
It is at the heart of the HHDR that creations inspired by Dominique Renaud’s paradigm are born, each driven by the mantra of reconfiguring contemporary watchmaking.
