Renaud Tixier Monday Organica
When the visionary inventor meets the art of the dial
Renaud Tixier unveils the Monday Organica by Olivier Vaucher, a limited edition of just 7 timepieces. For the first time, Dominique Renaud, a leading figure in contemporary watchmaking, collaborates directly with a master dial artisan. With the Monday Organica, he combines his patented mechanical innovation with the signature of Ateliers Olivier Vaucher, regarded as one of the world’s greatest specialists in métiers d’art as applied to dials. 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. Crafted by 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 co-creation. 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. Both geometric 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.
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.
