Ancient Computing Meets Modern Craftmanship


Coming across interesting booths at CES 2025 often involves a lot of luck so when I came across S&T Geotronics tech replicas, I was immediately reminded of this product from Grid Studio. The Open Source Antikythera Mechinism replica from S&T Geotronics is a fantastic conversational piece that perfectly bridges the gap between ancient innovation and modern technology. This product is a functional reproduction of humanity’s first known analog computer, dating back over 2000 years.


Each piece comes in a meticulously crafted 3/8” imported wood case, the attention to detail is evident.


The Antikythera Mechanicsm replica is available in two models, combining 3D-printed precision with traditional assembly techniques. The “Full Monty” version is particularly impressive, featuring both front and back panels that display everything from planetary positions to eclipse predictions. It’s like having an Ancient Greek astronomical computer on your wall, except this one actually works.


The front panel along is captivating, showing the positions of the five visible planets, the sun and moon phases. Flip to the back, and you’ll find displays for the Saros and Metonic cycles – ancient ways of predicting solar and lunar eclipses. There’s even a tracker for the next “Olympic” games.


Every piece is hand-assembled in their small workshop and even provide instructions for makers that want to tackle this project themselves.


These are not impulse purchases, but considering the craftsmanship, historical significance, and educational value, they’re remarkable pieces for any technology enthusiast or history buff. Perfectly displayed in a home office or used as an educational tool.


Available for shipping to Australia direct from the S&T Geotronics website
