What to know about the Dominique Renaud DR01 Twelve First, a highly innovative concept with brand new escapement - Monochrome Watches
Dominique Renaud might not be the most famous name, at least for a large audience. However, passionate insiders have known him for decades, as being the co-founder of Renaud & Papi (now owned by Audemars Piguet and known as APRP). After almost 15 years of retirement, Dominique Renaud came back last year in the light; announcing he was to be part of HYT, as technical consultant.

The watch is called the?Dominique Renaud DR01 Twelve First and here what we already know about it.First of all, let’s put?the debate about design (shape of the case and overall look of the?Dominique Renaud DR01) aside, for a simple reason: the 12 first watches that will be manufactured are entirely customizable, meaning that probably none will look the same.

And after so many record-breaking models, it’s a
