[Yum. I’m not a sucker for watch porn usually, but…it’s the Antikythera mechanism. Lustful sigh. -egg]
Antikythera mechanism in a wristwatch:
Swiss luxury watch company Hublot has announced a version of the Antikythera mechanism, an ancient Greek astronomical calculator, that is incorporated into a wristwatch. The mechanism is to be displayed at the 2012 Baselworld expo before moving to a permanent exhibit at Musée des arts et métiers in Paris.
Hublot painstakingly recreates a mysterious, 2,100-year-old clockwork relic – but why?
