• Front-facing view of the stainless steel case with polished bezel and lugs. • Hand-painted goat head illustration rendered in blue, orange, and yellow tones on the left portion of the dial. • Dark brown leather strap fitted to the watch. • Small pusher positioned below the winding crown on the right case flank. • Chinese numerals visible at the twelve, three, and six o'clock positions.

Artistic Dial and Case Execution

The timepiece features a solid silver dial displaying a miniature hand-painted depiction of a goat, executed according to the artistic design of Svetlana Hantusch. Direct observation of the watch shows the goat illustration rendered predominantly in blue, orange, and yellow hues across the left dial plane, accented by Chinese numeral hour markers placed at the twelve, three, and six o'clock positions. The stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter and exhibits polished finishes on the bezel and lugs. A distinctive case feature visible on the right flank is a small pusher located directly below the winding crown. Christie's cataloguing notes that the hands were handcrafted in the manufactory and annealed over an open flame to achieve a brown-violet hue.

Edition Status and Accompanying Material

The lot documentation describes the timepiece as a one-off piece bearing an engraving of '1 / 1'. Production is dated circa 2019, corresponding with an included warranty card dated 2 December 2019. The auction cataloguing lists extensive accompanying items, including the artist's original acrylic-on-canvas artwork titled 'GOAT Eight' measuring 60 x 60 cm (23.6 x 23.6 inches). Additional accessories reported by the auction house comprise an instruction manual, magnifying glass, cloth, presentation box, and outer packaging, as well as a stainless steel Moritz Grossmann buckle fitted to a brown leather strap; these accompanying materials are not depicted in the provided imagery.

Reported Movement and Operating Mechanism

According to Christie's cataloguing, the watch is powered by the manual-wind Calibre 100.1, described as executed in a 'High Artistic Finish'. The movement integrates Grossmann manual winding paired with a pusher intended for the hand-setting mechanism. The internal movement and the case back are not visible in the provided photograph, leaving internal finishing and physical condition unverified. Christie's specialist report noted the movement as 'ticking at the time of cataloguing', though running precision and mechanical performance are not formally tested or certified.
