Antikythera - Anticythère - Αντικύθηρα - 安提凯希拉More than 21 centuries ago, a mechanism of fabulous ingenuity was created in Greece, a device capable of indicating exactly how the sky would look for decades to come -- the position of the moon and sun, lunar phases and even eclipses. But this incredible invention would be drowned in the sea and its secret forgotten for two thousand years.
This video is a tribute from Swiss clock-maker Hublot and film-maker Philippe Nicolet to this device, known as the Antikythera Mechanism, or the world's "first computer". The fragments of the Mechanism were discovered in 1901 by sponge divers near the island of Antikythera. It is kept since then at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece.
For more than a century, researchers were trying to understand its functions. Since 2005, a pluridisciplinary research team, the "Antikythera Mechanism Research Project", is studying the Mechanism with the latest high tech available.
The results of this ongoing research has enabled the construction of many models. Amongst them, the unique mechanism of a watch, designed by Hublot as a tribute to the Mechanism, is incorporating the known functions of this mysterious and fascinating ancient Mechanism.
A model of the Antikythera Mechanism, built by the Aristotle University in Greece, together with the mechanism of the watch and this film in 3D are featuring in an exhibition about the Mechanism that is taking place in Paris, at the Musée des Arts et Métiers.
The original fragments of the Mechanism, its main models and the watch designed by Hublot are on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece.

The fragment has decayed over the last 2000+ years, suggesting that it may have been exposed on the bottom of the sea, in contrast to other marble artefacts that have been better preserved beneath the sand.
It's a good example of how the "3D Antiquity" initiative may help. The idea is to 3D-model thousands of ancient sculptures accurately and precisely, then compare them against the eroded and unrecognizable Antikythera marble statues, in the hope of identifying them (once permission is granted from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports). We're building the library of models now, from sculptures in other museums around the world using Autodesk's fabulous new software, ReMake :remake.autodesk.com/about.
It will function as a command centre, working platform, and help with accommodation, which is scarce in Antikythera.

A virtual tour, showing an ancient roman anchor being recovered, bronze section of a bed, 210cm section of a bronze spear from a larger-than-life statue, and much more.
Just like being there, but without the years of training it requires to work at such depth.

Αλλά αυτή η απίστευτη εφεύρεση κατέληξε στη θάλασσα, και το μυστικό της έμεινε κρυμμένο για δύο χιλιάδες χρόνια.

Le Mécanisme est universellement connu en tant que le "premier calculateur analogique de l'humanité".
Les fragments du Mécanisme furent découverts en 1901 par des pêcheurs d'éponges, près de l'île d'Anticythère. Depuis, il est conservé au Musée National Archéologique d'Athènes. Pendant plus d'un siècle, des chercheurs ont essayé de comprendre sa fonction. Depuis 2005, une équipe de recherche pluridisciplinaire, le "Antikythera Mechanism Research Project", étudie le Mécanisme avec des données recueillies par des instruments à la pointe de la technologie.
Les premiers résultats de cette recherche ont permis la construction de plusieurs modèles. Parmi ceux-ci, le mouvement unique d'une montre, conçu par Hublot en tant qu'hommage au Mécanisme; ce mouvement intègre les fonctions de ce mystérieux et fascinant mécanisme antique.The Antikythera Mechanism - 3DAntikythera - Anticythère - Αντικύθηρα - 安提凯希拉2011-06-24 | More than 21 centuries ago, a mechanism of fabulous ingenuity was created in Greece, a device capable of indicating exactly how the sky would look for decades to come -- the position of the moon and sun, lunar phases and even eclipses.
