specialists in Métiers d’Art as applied to dials. Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO .jpg)
The result is
a unique timepiece in which technical components engage in a dialogue
with poetic handcraft, celebrating the very essence of watchmaking art.
When patented innovation meets exceptional artistry
The Monday Organica follows in the footsteps of the inaugural Monday,
launched as a watchmaking manifesto and praised for challenging
conventions.

At the heart of this exclusive edition lies one of
Dominique Renaud’s own signature innovations: a patented system that
enhances the efficiency of micro-rotor through an inertia wheel and a
“dancer” spring. Inspired by energy recovery systems in the automotive
world, this subtle mechanism is adapted to watchmaking scale with
extreme precision.

This
architecture not only maximizes the power reserve, but also protects
the movement through to a disengagement system that activates in the
event of shocks. The
RVI2023 caliber, conceived specifically around this
invention, epitomizes the spirit of Manufacture
Dominique Renaud:
starting from an idea to build a movement, rather than forcing an idea
onto an existing one.

Balancing this mechanical precision, the dial of the
Monday Organica
serves as a powerful artistic counterpoint, echoing the many elements
of traditional decoration already present within the watch.

Ateliers
Olivier Vaucher, it is the result of
112 hours of meticulous
work, bringing together some of the rarest and most demanding
techniques: multi-level hand engraving,
grand feu enamel, and
textural effects that transform the surface into a miniature landscape.

The effect is both tactile and visual, inviting the eye to explore its
details as if tracing the coded lines of a secret narrative. This fusion
of cutting-edge mechanics with a dial shaped as a true work of art
defines the very identity of the
Monday Organica.

Since its debut in
2024, the
Monday collection has sought to honor the
métiers d’art.
Enamel and engraving, introduced in the first model, are once again
present in this edition. A visible component of the movement, the barrel
ratchet wheel cover, has been hand-chiseled and finished with violet
grand feu enamel.

The case, crafted in platinum for this edition, features hand engraving on the flanks and between the lugs.
A partnership rooted in co-creation
The creation of the Monday Organica stems from a
relationship of trust and continuous dialogue between two figures who
have shared a common vision of watchmaking for over 40 years.

Dominique
Renaud, a founding force of modern horology with
Renaud & Papi in
the
1980s, believes that true innovation arises from the meeting of
minds and the sharing of talent.

Olivier Vaucher, a renowned master of
métiers d’art
in watchmaking since
1978, embodies the pinnacle of an atelier that,
from Geneva, has served the greatest Maisons of haute horlogerie while
safeguarding its creative independence.

This
project was never conceived as a mere outsourcing arrangement, but as a
genuine cocreation. From the very first sketches, the teams at
Renaud
Tixier and Ateliers
Olivier Vaucher worked side by side, refining
proportions, colors, and balance in rhythm with the
technical development. The collaboration is memorialized on the
caseback, with an engraving that proudly affirms their joint authorship.

For
Olivier Vaucher, the partnership provided an opportunity to explore new
creative approaches, test fresh combinations, and push the expression
of
métiers d’art even further. For
Dominique Renaud, it meant
integrating mechanical innovation into an aesthetic that conveys both
audacity and refinement.

Together, they demonstrate that horology and
craftsmanship not only coexist, but enrich one another to achieve a rare
harmony.
An enigmatic creation, a confidential edition
The Monday Organica is not
designed to reveal itself at first glance: its aesthetic explores
restraint, depth, and subtlety. Some details are instantly visible,
while remain hidden or emerge only under shifting light, suggesting
secret visual code.

Like a cryptic artwork, it invites the wearer to
gradually uncover its meanings, deepening the intimate bond between
watch and owner.

The
dial motif heightens this intrigue through a mesmerizing play of
translucent blue enamel over hand-engraved surfaces. It becomes an
almost kaleidoscopic interpretation of key
RVI2023 caliber’s core
components, stylized and arranged in a circular harmony.

and organic, this composition evokes a mechanical ballet suspended in
time. It celebrates the mystery of horological architecture with the
poetic interplay of entwined forms, offering a new face with every
glance.

The
watch belongs to the
Monday collection, the first of seven pieces
conceived by
Dominique Renaud, each aligned with a day of the week and a
singular mechanical concept. Within this cycle, the
Monday Organica
holds special significance: it represents the “day” of rebirth, the
opening of the creative cycle; it sets the tone for the entire
collection.
Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO .jpg)
Limited
to just
7 pieces, the piece affirms the brand’s philosophy: celebrating
rarity, authenticity, and a direct bond with seasoned collectors. Each
watch is accompanied by a certificate jointly signed by
Dominique Renaud
and
Olivier Vaucher, underscoring both its uniqueness and dual
authorship. More than a timepiece, the
Monday Organica is a capsule of time where innovation, savoir-faire, and mystery converge.
The Monday Organica will be available from September 2025 through the brand’s authorized retailers, priced at CHF 125,000.
