Julien Tixier’s atelier versus Renaud Tixier: where the identities divide
The generic atelier label resolves to Atelier d’Horlogerie Julien Tixier, a registered sole proprietorship at Le Lieu. The register entry is dated 21 January 2020; publication HR01-1004813866 appeared in FOSC on 24 January 2020.
The interview attributes Tempus Fugit’s design to Renaud and construction to Tixier, with one micro-disc excepted from atelier manufacture. Renaud Tixier launched as a new brand with the Monday watch in March 2024.
Monday’s RVI2023 movement also credits constructor Alexandre Bugnon and prototypist Sébastien Rousseau alongside Renaud and Tixier. A new co-branded project does not establish that the Le Lieu sole proprietorship was legally renamed, dissolved or merged. 123
The work and why it matters
The notice names Julien Tixier as proprietor with individual signature and states the purpose as operating a horological atelier. The registered seat is Le Lieu, Vaud, with workshop address Rue du Puits 15.
Tixier graduated from Morteau in 2015 and subsequently worked with Sébastien Rousseau on Parmigiani’s Hippologia automaton. After work at Laurent Ferrier, Tixier left in 2018 to pursue an astronomical project and independent development. 12
People, production and attribution
The interview dates his collaboration with Dominique Renaud on Tempus Fugit to April 2020. Moneyhouse currently marks the sole proprietorship active; this is a registry-aggregator observation, not a certified same-day official extract.
The atelier is documented through prototype development, construction and complicated-watch collaborations rather than only a stand-alone branded catalogue. Tixier’s case shows how a named independent workshop can contribute to several projects without becoming identical to every client or co-brand. 213
