Its amazing that people did same without electricity or computers.... Watches are the most amazing devices.

Antithekrya mechanism here we come!

Here's someone who's been building an Antikythera mechanism. Over time, he adopts a more and more "historically accurate" set of tools and techniques. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZioPDnFPNsHnyxfygxA0to...

He has a lot of other stuff around machining at watch-/clockwork-scale.

He went so far in adopting historical accuracy, he ended up co-authoring a research paper about the mechanism.
