In a season where watchmaking houses compete through innovation and artistry, Renaud Tixier steps forward with a confident evolution of its signature creation: the Monday. Presented as a world premiere at Dubai Watch Week and showcased exclusively at Perpétuel Gallery, the new dials mark a defining moment for the young independent Maison—one that blends bold technical ingenuity with refined, contemporary aesthetics.
A Vision That Redefines Traditional Watchmaking
Since its debut, the Monday has represented much more than a timepiece. It is the first of seven creations reimagining the classic foundations of horology. The watch introduced an ingenious solution to a long-standing micro-rotor challenge: a patented inertia wheel system that recaptures energy previously lost in traditional mechanisms.
This movement—composed of over 250 components and meticulously finished with an extraordinary 187 interior angles—showcases the style and precision that define Renaud Tixier. Every bevel, engraving, and polished surface reflects the unique artistic dialogue between Dominique Renaud’s technical mastery and Julien Tixier’s artisanal finesse.
Art at the Heart of Function
Craftsmanship has always been a defining code for the Monday. Decorative techniques such as engraving and grand feu enamel aren’t used as superficial embellishments—they are integrated directly into the watch’s mechanical identity.
The hand-engraved flanks, the violet-hued enamel barrel cover, and the sculptural finishing create a visual symphony: engineering and artistry operating in perfect harmony.
A Dial Evolution Rooted in Modern Elegance
With this new chapter, Renaud Tixier introduces a redesigned dial that feels more assertive, more architectural, and more expressive. The updates were created not to reinvent the Monday, but to refine its visual balance and strengthen its identity.
The design now features:
-
A broader flange for greater depth and structure
-
Bolder, more sculptural indices—including a double marker at 12 for intuitive reading
-
A reimagined small seconds ring echoing the geometry of the minute track
-
A dial center where the signature grainé texture meets circular satin-brushing for a subtle interplay of light
Everything about the dial is intentional, discreet, and elegantly restrained—allowing the craftsmanship and movement to speak without excess branding.
Two Colorways, Two Distinct Personalities
The new dials introduce fresh character to the Monday’s neo-classical aesthetic:
-
Racing Green — warm, confident, and naturally luxurious. Paired with a rose-gold case and a textured green leather strap, it carries a refined yet sporty charisma.
-
Petrol Blue — cool, graphic, and quietly sophisticated. Encased in white gold and matched with a deep-blue suede strap, it highlights the architectural geometry of the display.
Each direction offers a different emotional experience on the wrist, yet both remain deeply connected to the Maison’s values: elegance, precision, and thoughtful innovation.
A Dubai Exclusive: Perpétuel Gallery’s Selective Eye
The partnership between Renaud Tixier and Perpétuel Gallery isn’t new—it’s built on shared values and mutual appreciation for artisanal excellence. Perpétuel was among the earliest supporters of the Monday, and its clientele continues to resonate with the watch’s understated character and technical depth.
During Dubai Watch Week, collectors will have one-on-one access to the new dials, the movement, and exclusive services available only through the gallery—further reinforcing Dubai as a destination for serious horology connoisseurs.
Where Innovation Meets Legacy
Renaud Tixier remains one of the most compelling independent names to watch. The Maison’s philosophy is simple yet profound: reinterpret traditional watchmaking codes without compromising craftsmanship, innovation, or emotion.
The new Monday dials embody this spirit perfectly. They are not a redesign—they are a quiet, confident evolution that enhances how the watch feels, wears, and connects with its wearer.
A piece of horological poetry — refined, thoughtful, and built for collectors who appreciate precision with soul.
