Hublot’s miniature replica of the Antikythera mechanism
Why on Earth would you want to strap one of these to your wrist? It barely tells the time, and it can’t take pictures, tweet or connect to your Facebook. In fact, very few people would have the faintest idea what it is, or why you’d want one at all.

It’s a story of gigantic scientific upheaval, of adventure and shipwreck on the high seas, of war and death. A story of amazing intellect, lost riches and impossible chance - a sunken treasure that Jaques Cousteau once described as “more valuable than the Mona Lisa” - and it’s connected with an ancient celebrity whose star shone so brightly that he’s still a household name more than 2200 years after his death…
