Hublot Rebuilds The Famed Antikythera Mechanism
22nd October 2011
Watchmaker Hublot has recreated the mechanism using modern techniques and shrunk it down to nearly postage-stamp size. The new watch – a one of a kind – features the full mechanism as historians and scientists understand it along with a standard three-hand tourbillon as well as a date register.
Available soon from Mattel, if they can persuade the Consumer Protection Agency that it’s safe for kids.
