Renaud Tixier Opens Up the Monday
Fratello reports that the young maison’s follow-up to its 2024 Monday arrives in green and blue, each with a 40.8mm gray gold case and a 15-piece limit.
Design
The first move is removal
The eye goes first to what is not there. Fratello describes the new Renaud Tixier Monday Skeleton as a “fully openworked” follow-up to the Monday that launched the maison in 2024. Openworked, often called skeletonized, means that solid surfaces are cut away or omitted so the structure beneath becomes part of the display.
That is a direct design decision, not just a technical note. A closed dial usually gives a watch its broadest field of color and its cleanest plane. Here, according to the supplied report, Renaud Tixier has turned that field into an exposed architecture while still keeping color in the story: Fratello says the Monday Skeleton is available in green and blue.
The useful tension is between those two ideas. Skeletonization can make a watch visually busy; color can either organize that busyness or add another layer to it. From the details provided, the Monday Skeleton appears to use color as an identity marker for the two editions rather than as a small accent.
Specifications
What is confirmed so far
The confirmed information in the supplied Fratello report is concise:
- Model: Renaud Tixier Monday Skeleton
- Collection: Monday
- Relationship to earlier watch: fully openworked version of the Monday that launched the maison in 2024
- Case: 40.8mm gray gold
- Colors: green and blue
- Limitation: 15 pieces for each edition
Those details are enough to see the proportions of the release, though not the full watch. A 40.8mm case size is specific without being rounded into the more common 40mm or 41mm language. The source does not provide thickness, lug-to-lug measurement, water-resistance rating, calibre designation, price, delivery timing, or a maker reference number.
It is also worth keeping the terms separate for records. “Monday Skeleton” is the model name used in the report. A calibre would identify the movement design; no calibre designation is confirmed in the supplied material. A reference number would identify the exact model configuration; none is supplied here.
Context
A young collection becoming recognizable
Fratello’s dating gives this release its context: the original Monday launched Renaud Tixier in 2024, and the Monday Skeleton continues that collection in 2026. That makes the new watch less a one-off experiment than a statement about what the Monday line can hold.
The design logic is clear from the confirmed facts. Renaud Tixier is not changing the collection name for the openworked version; it is extending Monday into a more exposed form. For a young maison, that matters. A collection becomes legible when later watches can change material, color or construction while still remaining recognizably part of the same thought.
The report also says the new model brings together Dominique Renaud’s expertise, but the supplied excerpt cuts off before explaining the full point. Without the rest of the article or an official maker page, the safe reading is limited: Fratello is presenting the Monday Skeleton as a technical and visual continuation of the Monday, not merely as a color update.
