Renaud Tixier joins forces with Olivier Vaucher

For the first time, Dominique Renaud, a leading figure in contemporary watchmaking, collaborates directly with a master dial artisan. Renaud Tixier unveils the Monday Organica by Olivier Vaucher, a strictly limited edition of just seven timepieces. With this creation, the watchmaker combines his patented mechanical innovation with the signature of Ateliers Olivier Vaucher, regarded as one of the world’s greatest specialists in artistic crafts 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 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 the watchmaking scale with extreme accuracy. 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.

The timepiece is not designed to reveal itself at first glance: its aesthetic explores restraint, depth and subtlety. Some details are instantly visible, while others 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 mesmerising play of translucent blue enamel over hand-engraved surfaces. It becomes an kaleidoscopic interpretation of Calibre RV12023’s key core components, stylised and arranged 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.
