RENAUD TIXIER – MONDAY Skeleton “Green” and “Blue” Editions

RENAUD TIXIER – MONDAY Skeleton “Green” and “Blue” Grey Gold Editions 2026

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 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.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 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.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 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. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.” 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.

About Renaud Tixier

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  


Renaud Tixier was founded by Dominique Renaud, the legendary watchmaker and movement creator with a career spanning over 40 years. The brand was born from his desire to reinterpret the archetypes of traditional watchmaking through a contemporary lens. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

  
To bring this vision to life, he partnered with Julien Tixier, a rising independent talent to explore the intersection of tradition and innovation. Conceived as a collection of just seven creations, each produced in limited numbers, every Renaud Tixier timepiece carries a patented innovation and embodies a rare harmony of neo-classical aesthetics, exceptional finishing, and technical ingenuity. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The inaugural model, a three-hand watch named Monday, introduces the brand’s first patented invention: a micro-rotor with a central inertia wheel that enhances the winding efficiency of the mechanism – an industry first. Renaud Tixier redefines the boundaries of horological legacy.

Bell & Ross – BR-03 Green Radar Ceramic 41 Edition

Bell & Ross – INSTRUMENTS BR-03 Green Radar Ceramic Black 41mm Edition - 2026

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

 A STORY THAT CONTINUES

For more than fifteen years, the Radar collection has held a unique place in the Bell & Ross universe. It introduced an entirely new way of reading the time, directly inspired by the screens used in aircraft cockpits and air traffic control centres. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Following the 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2021 editions, Bell & Ross now presents its fourth iteration: the BR-03 Green Radar Ceramic. For the first time, the Radar display takes over the 41 mm BR-03 case. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This new format tightens the scale of the dial and delivers an even more immersive display, recreating with unprecedented realism the luminous sweep of an authentic airborne radar. Green, mysterious and striking, this new creation reinterprets one of the Maison's most emblematic concepts, giving it an entirely new colourway. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The BR-03 Green Radar Ceramic will appeal equally to loyal collectors of the Radar collection, design enthusiasts and aviation aficionados looking for something truly distinctive.

AN ICONIC DISPLAY

It all began in 2010, when the BR-01 RADAR introduced, for the first time, a way of reading the time inspired by an aviation instrument: radar. Hands and dial merged into a single plane, replaced by concentric discs marked with luminous beams. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In 2011, Bell & Ross once again challenged convention with the Red Radar: the crystal was tinted red and the model quickly became one of the Maison's best-sellers. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The collection continued to evolve in 2014, before returning in 2021 with the BR-03-92 Red Radar Ceramic, which introduced ceramic to the collection for the first time and featured two stylised aircraft flying across the dial.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

With the BR-03 Green Radar Ceramic, the collection takes another step forward. Whereas previous editions featured either radar beams or aircraft silhouettes, this version brings both elements together for the first time: the aircraft and their luminous trails appear simultaneously on the dial, just as they would on an authentic air surveillance screen. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Following the red of control rooms, the green of next-generation radar screens now enriches the collection's colour palette. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This continuity is no coincidence. Since 2005 and the creation of the iconic BR-01, Bell & Ross has patiently built its Flight Instruments collection, comprising a dozen exclusive timepieces, each translating the graphic language of an aircraft navigation instrument into watchmaking. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The Radar collection is one of its boldest lineages, and the Green Radar Ceramic now opens a new chapter in its story.

A RADAR DIAL

Bell & Ross has always maintained close ties with the world of aviation. With this new Green Radar, the Maison goes one step further by bringing three iconic aircraft to life on the dial. The Falcon*, a high-end civilian business jet, indicates the hours. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The Rafale*, a multirole fighter aircraft, indicates the minutes. The Neuron*, a stealth combat drone, indicates the seconds. Each aircraft moves on its own independent rotating disc, creating a continuous aerial ballet that replaces traditional hands. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This trio was carefully selected: it brings together three generations and three distinct fields of French military and business aviation. 

    Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

By having them fly together across a single dial, Bell & Ross extends its vocation as a watchmaking Maison born from the meeting of aviation and precision watchmaking. This association once again illustrates Bell & Ross's close relationship with the leading names of French aviation. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

By choosing to depict a business jet, a fighter aircraft and a stealth drone side by side, the Maison pays tribute to the diversity of Dassault Aviation's expertise, from business aviation to the most advanced combat systems.

A NEW WAY OF READING THE TIME

The time is read through three superimposed, independent discs, each animated by a miniature aircraft. The Falcon completes one revolution of the dial in twelve hours, the Rafale in sixty minutes and the Neuron in sixty seconds. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The aircraft silhouettes provide immediate visual reference points. Behind them, a luminous trail evokes the radar trails that these same aircraft would leave on an authentic air surveillance screen, reinforcing the illusion of a full-scale monitoring instrument rather than that of a traditional watch. 

    Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The hour markers and graduations are printed in green beneath the sapphire crystal, which is tinted throughout and treated with an anti reflective coating. This dual reading system moving discs on one side and fixed graduations on the other creates a striking sense of depth and places the Green Radar firmly within the lineage of the control screens that inspired it.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The result is a clearly defined two-level display: on the lower level, the three discs and their continuously moving aircraft; on the upper level, the fixed graduation printed beneath the sapphire crystal. Between the two, the wearer's gaze moves like that of an air traffic controller scanning a screen, searching for the next aircraft to identify. This new display complexity represented a significant technical challenge. 

    Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

As with previous Radar models, the discs must be light enough not to affect the movement's power reserve, while remaining sufficiently rigid to prevent any deformation or friction between them. Each component is assembled and adjusted to within a micron, ensuring constant parallelism between the three display levels.

CERAMIC IN THE SERVICE OF PRECISION

The 41 mm BR-03 case is crafted from microblasted black ceramic, a high-tech material that is smooth to the touch and highly resistant to scratches. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The case back is engraved with the three aircraft featured on the dial. It houses the BR-CAL.327 calibre, a self-winding mechanical movement offering a 54-hour power reserve. The watch is water-resistant to 100 metres and is worn on a black rubber bracelet, secured by a matching pin buckle. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This level of precision echoes the approach that guided the development of the Radar collection's very first discs in 2010: to deliver absolute mechanical reliability behind an ever-evolving visual spectacle. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

With the BR-03 Green Radar Ceramic, Bell & Ross once again demonstrates that the most spectacular innovation can emerge from the encounter between watchmaking precision and a passion for aviation.
