HUBLOT
Hublot is honoured to announce the opening of the
"Sunken treasure. The Antikythera shipwreck" exhibition
The temporary exhibition, to be held at the Basel Museum of Ancient Art (Antikenmuseum), opens to visitors from 27th September 2015 to 27th March 2016.
 | Hublot and the Antikythera adventure Hublot has been involved with the Antikythera project since 2011, firstly by lending its support to an exhibition at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, then by partnering a major project at the Archaeological Museum of Athens which, thanks in no small part to Hublot, was able to create a special Antikythera room with a giant armoured, earthquake-resistant display case, manufactured in Switzerland to Hublot's order, to showcase the remains of the mechanism. There, alongside the remains of the mechanism, Hublot's "Tribute to the Antikythera" watch is displayed amongst the other exhibits. This rebuilt, miniature movement adds a new time dimension to the Antikythera mechanism. This exhibition has been extended several times, and has received record numbers of visitors. The Minister for Culture attended the museum to open the exhibition and discover this astoundingly beautiful treasure - the pride of the Greek nation and its history - for himself.
