I would have to say that my favorite mechanical device is still the Orrery. An orrery is a model that shows the relative positioning and movement of astral bodies/systems. They can be highly detailed clockworks and are beautiful to watch. Many of my drawings have their genesis in orrerys. If not in subject then in the movement of the machine and its parts.
