Dubai Watch Week once again becomes a stage for horological discovery as Renaud Tixier introduces two new dial variations for its celebrated Monday timepiece. Presented as a world premiere at Perpétuel Gallery—the brand’s exclusive regional partner—the unveiling marks an important evolution for the young independent Maison. The refined dials reinterpret the model’s neo-classical codes while reinforcing the quiet power that has defined the brand since its founding.
The Monday remains a deeply technical creation, built around the patented micro-rotor system conceived by Dominique Renaud. Featuring an ingenious inertia wheel that captures energy typically lost within traditional self-winding systems, the mechanism underscores Renaud Tixier’s philosophy: innovation rooted in heritage. Comprising more than 250 components and 187 inner bevelled angles, the calibre exemplifies the extraordinary finishing master watchmaker Julien Tixier brings to every detail.
Since its debut, the Monday has been a canvas for métiers d’art, with hand-engraved ratchet covers and grand feu enamel accents that place craftsmanship at the centre of its identity. The case, engraved along the flanks and between the lugs, reinforces this interplay between engineering and artistry—an approach that resonates powerfully with collectors seeking authenticity in the age of industrialised luxury.
For this new chapter, the dials draw inspiration from classical sector layouts, reimagined with a contemporary architectural sensibility. A widened flange, sculptural indices, and a redesigned small-seconds ring deepen the visual equilibrium of the display. At the dial’s centre, Renaud Tixier’s signature grainé surface now meets a soft circular satin finish, echoing the chiseled details of the case and enriching the tactile presence of the watch.
