Renaud Tixier introduced the Monday Skeleton on 20 October 2026 as RVI2025MONSK2 Blue and RVI2025MONSK2 Green, each limited to 15 pieces. The useful collector angle is not transparency alone. The open architecture makes the automatic winding system, energy path and hand finishing readable at the same time, turning decoration into a guide to how the watch works.
The 30-second collector read
The 40.8 mm white-gold case houses the automatic RVI2025 calibre, with 72 hours of minimum power reserve, 262 components and 238 inward angles. Buy into it for the dialogue between a patented micro-rotor architecture and unusually intensive hand finishing. Pause if 12.6 mm thickness, 30-metre water resistance or price-on-request sales are poor fits for the intended use.
Why the “dancer” still matters
Inside the platinum micro-rotor, an inertia wheel and propulsion spring capture small wrist movements and feed usable energy to the calibre. A decoupling system protects the movement under shock. Skeletonising the watch is therefore more revealing than cutting away bridges for spectacle: it lets the wearer trace the mechanism that distinguished the original Monday in 2024.
Finishing is the second architecture
The calibre combines black polishing, rounded bridges, hand bevels, Geneva stripes, sunray brushing and circular graining. A hand-engraved and chased grand-feu enamel plate sits over the barrel ratchet, matched to the blue or green colourway. The 238 internal angles are not a shorthand for quality by themselves, but they show how much manual work the open layout is designed to expose.
What to verify before commissioning one
Reference RVI2025MONSK2 uses an 18K white-gold case, 21 mm lugs, a hand-stitched alligator strap and a white-gold pin buckle. The calibre runs at 2.5 Hz with 29 jewels. Before ordering, confirm price, delivery timing, allocation, service route, strap options and how the elaborate finishing will be documented. The edition size is clear; future demand and investment performance are not.
