Antikythera, a timeless mystery

The discovery of an artefact on a shipwreck dating from the 2nd century B.C. shows a strange astronomical mechanism of astonishing sophistication. An enigma that never ceases to amaze the public and researchers alike. This discovery brings us face to face with one of the most beautiful cases of techno-scientific anachronism. It reveals a system that was thought to have been invented much later and thus revolutionises many of our conceptions of technology. A real plot that competes with Dan Brown’s novels.

Fascinated by so much precision and touched by the poetry expressed by this exceptional object, Mathias Buttet, Hublot’s R&D director, convinced the watch brand to participate in financing the research and sharing this heritage from the end of time.

During this >moserpulse, Mathias Buttet took us on a journey to Antikythera and shared with us all the emotion that this timeless mystery generates.
