28.10.2011 - Hublot Presents the Antikythera Mechanism at the Salon Belles Montres In Shanghai
A homage to the most ancient "astronomical calculator" in history: Hublot adds a new time dimension to the Antikythera mechanism The Antikythera mechanism is one of the most mysterious objects in the history of civilisation. Nowadays it is renowned and studied in great detail by the scientific community, but when it was first discovered back in 1901, its great historical and technical value remained a mystery to be uncovered. The very idea of a "machine" created in Greco-Roman Antiquity did not enter the conceptual framework of the specialists of the time. Thereafter, obscurantist statements from non-scientists claimed that the artefacts from Antikythera were almost extraterrestrial in nature, which only served to muddy the waters.
