This Chaykin's sketch of the Minotaur watch, inspired by the famous Greek myth about the fantastic creature with a bull's head, shows all the main details of this piece. The master has realized the «features» of the Minotaur in every part of the watch.
The Minotaur's eyes have the similar to other Wristmons function — they are actually hour and minute indicators. The nostrils, covered by sapphire crystal lenses, are nothing but a two-disk weekday indicator invented by Chaykin.
The artist has carefully sketched a combination of different textures of the dial's finishing, giving the watch an astonishing expressiveness and volume.
