The goldsmith's craft, brought to the Monday.
A dialogue between two watchmakers united by a passion for contemporary watchmaking, begun in 2024 around the first Renaud Tixier “Monday,” now continues with a fully skeletonised version, offered in two editions limited to 15 pieces each.
TWO STYLES, ONE EXACTING STANDARD
Dominique Renaud's expertise in the design of mechanical movements and fine watchmaking complications is matched by a recognised mastery of skeletonisation. Indeed, it was during his early years in haute horlogerie that the young watchmaker forged this expertise in a workshop devoted to skeleton watches.

Julien Tixier's own expertise is distinguished by a pursuit of artisanal perfection and finishing techniques of the highest order. A watchmaker and prototypist in the fullest sense of the term, he has a rare command of the watchmaker's craft to every detail, reflected in his particular attention to finishing, including bevelling, black polishing on titanium and the creation of inward angles, all by hand.

From this inspiration was born the Monday Skeleton. It builds on the original Monday, introduced in 2024, while taking Renaud Tixier’s first creation in a resolutely more contemporary direction
THE MONDAY SKELETON
Though the RVI2023 movement was never intended to become a skeleton movement, its openworked architecture may have hinted at what was to come. That is because every curve, every mechanical element, every silhouette seems to have been conceived from the outset with skeletonisation in mind.

That potential is now realised with the RVI2025: the new iteration fully embraces its skeletonised architecture, clearly revealing all 262 components, each finished and decorated by hand in keeping with the Maison’s philosophy.

The movement features a range of traditional decorative finishes, all executed at the Renaud Tixier workshops in the village of Tolochenaz (between Geneva and Lausanne in French-speaking Switzerland), including black polishing, bridge rounding, bevelling, Côtes de Genève, sunray finishing and circular graining.

The keenest-eyed connoisseurs, meanwhile, will be able to spot the 238 perfectly finished inward angles, testament to meticulous watchmaking. The open caseback shows a decorative bridge over the barrel ratchet, engraved and chased by hand and featuring grand feu enamel, its tones harmonising with the colour of the piece.

While its aesthetic has been completely reworked by the engineers at Renaud Tixier, its revolutionary concept remains untouched: a patented mechanism that reinvents micro-rotor winding, delivering a major gain in efficiency. At the heart of the platinum micro-rotor – a space usually left empty – sits a flywheel coupled to a propulsion spring, nicknamed “the dancer.”

This ingenious system converts even the slightest movements of the wrist into energy the calibre can harness. It draws its inspiration from energy-recovery technologies born in the automotive world and adapted to the scale of watchmaking with an uncompromising demand for precision. A constraint is thus turned into a resource, and what was once merely a void becomes the beating heart of an unprecedented architecture.

Better still, this system does more than improve energy recovery: it also incorporates a declutching mechanism that protects the movement in the event of a shock.
A SUBTLE AESTHETIC IN TWO COLOURWAYS
The Monday Skeleton retains the lines of the original Monday. Housed in a 40.8 mm grey gold case, it is offered in two editions limited to 15 pieces each: one in green, the other in blue.

This chromatic duality runs through the piece's exterior elements. While the skeleton dial reveals the movement in all its architectural complexity, green or blue accents, depending on the edition, add depth to the piece: the satin-finished small-seconds counter, the skeletonised dauphine-style hour and minute hands, and the rehaut brush-finished at the periphery, with faceted appliques on its lower level and a white minute track on the upper.

The same interplay of colour extends to the strap, hand-stitched in full-grain alligator leather.
