The largest fragment is the fragment A. 27 gears were detected inside that fragment.

The construction and operation of a geared analogue computer is presented. The Antikythera Mechanism is the first analogue geared computer in human history.

The specific model constitutes an exact replica in physical dimensions (scale 1:1) of the Antikythera Mechanism.

Three facets of the Antikythera Mechanism's physical model in the box and a view of the model without the box.
