I hope you found this Ace Timegrapher review helpful! Did I leave something out? Have something to add? Let me know in the comments. If you are a serious watch collector, or even just a hobbyist with an interest in more fully understanding your watches I can definitely recommend this gadget. It is a simple tool that does its job effectively. Overall I have been very satisfied with this timegrapher. You will want to measure your watch in each position to get a good feel for the performance of the piece in all possible configurations. The microphone and stand is very sturdy and appears to be well built. It is important to set this correctly otherwise the amplitude reading will be incorrect. Most modern watches use a lift angle of 50 – 52 degrees, though this can vary based on your particular watch. Capture precise data points in order to keep a running log of each watch's accuracy.
Save information on each watch in your collection including details on movement type, case size, band width, purchase price, and more. The only thing you’ll need to set yourself is the lift angle, which refers to the angle the balance passes through while interacting with the pallet fork. Timegrapher is an app for tracking your watch collection, synchronizing to precise time, and keeping track of accuracy. It is set to autodetect the rate by default, and does a perfectly fine job, though if you chose you can set it manually. So now that we know what it measures, how does it work? Basically you place a watch on the clamp, it thinks for a couple of moments to figure out the train count then starts showing the beat rate. Generally, beat error should not exceed 0.8ms in any single position. The amount of variation in the timing of swing from one side to the other in the oscillation of the balance wheel. It can be an important indication of the watches overall health. The amplitude can be affected by the amount of energy in the mainspring as well as the position of the watch in space. I couldn’t ask for better.Īmplitude is the measure of swing in the balance wheel. My custom built Flieger with an ETA 6497 runs at an outstanding rate of +2 seconds a day. This is how fast or slow the watch movement runs and is measured in seconds per day. It is quite simple in its construction and programming, which is fine by me. This is a basic unit that has all of the features I wanted and nothing else. Accuracy, amplitude, beat error, these are all things that I needed to learn to interpret if I wanted to deepen my understanding of these beautiful little machines, and the only way to do that was to get my hands on a Timegrapher. Simply appreciating watches for the way they looked suddenly wasn’t enough.
By making the payment for the class, your slot will be confirmed and it also constitutes your agreement to the terms and conditions.The more my interest in watches grew the further I felt myself falling down the rabbit hole. If the minimum turnout is not reached 3 days before the event, participants will be called to arrange another timeslot at no extra cost. A minimum of 3 students are required for the course to commence. Should you wish to change the date, you will have to purchase another slot. Do double-check your schedule before purchasing as no refunds, postponements and cancellations will be entertained. Please be informed that purchasing this slot is a final confirmation of class spot. Please bring along a thumbdrive for this course.
