This is not the first time, see the Flagellum Motor (which is far more complex) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellum (often used in ontological arguments)

That's a rotating joint, but doesn't include gears (though it is really cool!). Conversely these gears are not on fully rotating joints, but on pivoting joints.
I think you meant teleological argument, it is the one about irreducible complexity.
First time I saw animation of the motor proteins in our cells it kind of freaked me out - it walks and has legs :).
