I don’t even own a mechanical watch, yet here I am lol

Best video on the topic. The guy knows what he’s talking about and can explain it in simple language.

Thanks, this video saved me 200 bucks on a vintage watch I was about to buy with a beat error of 9.8 and an amplitude of 119°

so this is actually the BEST and most simple description of these tools. simple, to the point. fantastic!!!

In addition to the two lines as a graphical representation of beat error, the slope of the line (s) corresponds with the gain or loss per day. Steeper lines means greater gain or loss.

This may be one of the most useful videos I’ve seen on KZfaq. Well done.

Best explanation on KZfaq

This video was very informative. Thank you !! I bought a watch and the vendor sent me a photo of the measurements, but I had no clue what they meant ... until now ! Thank you !

Thank you, I was very curious about amplitude and how/why it mattered.

This was extremely useful!

This is the best tutorial I have found to explain time graphing. Thanks!

VERY good. That was so informative. Thank you.

Very cool! Great examples to explain this mysterious little box.

man, you are great, thank you for what you are doing. i am going to watch all your stuff right now!!

🤗 Best explanation of how a Timegrapher works so far🙏

Thank you. Very informative and comprehensive explanation of the concepts. I’m now more clear after watching your useful video. 👍🏼

Thanks for the great video. Today I bought a timegrapher 1000 and this video helped me a lot. I'm Czech, so I apologize for any mistakes.

Thanks! Best timegrapher tutorial I've seen so far. I just ordered my Weishi 1000 from Amazon.

great examples of illustrations coupled with an even greater natural sound effect!

for the record, you can correct the beat error on all watches with a hair spring. It's more difficult for older watches like pocket watches because you need to rotate the hairspring collet on the staff. Difficult to do because it requires alot of trial and error. You may also need to reposition the stud to make the hairspring longer/shorter.

Own one of these and now I know exactly how it works.

Excellent explanation of the jargon used by horologists! Thank you so much for sharing.

Awesome thanks for taking the time to explain to us rookies a little about the timegrapher!

Thank you so much.. i think you are the only one that completely explained everything to know about using the timegrapher.. now i am 100% decided to buy a timegrapher because i know now how to use it.. You deseve a like & sub. God bless you dude..

Thanks so much, absolutely the best explanations with diagrams. You are talented instructor.

The best tutorial I have found to explain time graphing. Best Regards and Thanks!

Wow what a great job. I've had my Timegrapher over a year and watched a number of KZfaqs of them and yours is the best it's late now so I'll have to wait until morning to put my new Bathyscaphe on my unit and see how it's doing thanks. Oh and loved your sound effects😊

Thank you so much for this - everything explained with articulation and simplicity!

This was very educational! Thanks for sharing and explaining it so well.

Love the amplitude vocal sound effects, didn't expect to laugh in a watch video

Finally nice and easy to get tutorial on timegrapher :) Nice, thanks!

Enfin, un bon pédagogue. Explications précises et bien documentées. Parfait.

Thank you for making this video. When I searched youtube to learn what beat error is, I never dreamed that I'd find a video so clear, thorough, and helpful. I downloaded a watch accuracy app, which just uses the phone's microphone to measure rate and graph it. However, because of your explanation of beat error graphing, I was able to adjust the rate AND the beat error.

Excellent explanation of time setting! And nice audio too. Thanks for.

A clear, concise and effective explanation. Really helpful. Thanks very much.

Brilliant. Best video I've watched on the subject, and I've watched many!

A great tutorial! Thanks a lot for sharing.

This is a very informative video. The wheel illustration definitely aided in helping to understand with simplicity. Thanks for sharing.

Realize this is an old video but I thought I would add that The very first thing I do when a watch comes for service is check the watch to see if it has become magnetized. Good indication is a sudden change in the rate of the watch. Usually runs fast. None of the regulating and adjusting is valid without eliminating the magnetic problem. Simple to correct (usually). The balance spring is what is affected by magnetism and amplitude and rate are directly affected by this. Your Seiko in the video that was running very fast would make me suspicious of a magnetic issue. The hair spring will usually contract if magnetic and effectively shorten the spring making the watch run fast. Well done video.

Thank you so much, your explanations and examples are fantastic! Using the tea coaster was genius!! Just brilliant 🙂

Fantastic video, thanks! This was perfect and exactly what i needed. My brand new Seiko is running terribly so i’m doing my research so i can attempt to regulate it myself.

nice vid dude, just been lent a timegrapher and had fun in the beginning but then realised i needed help and this video was spot on, thanks!!

Great vid, thank you. Clear and to the point. I might have missed it, but what is the significance of the traces not being horizontal e.g. starting from top left and ending bottom right?

Nice video, brother. Very straightforward and useful. Thank you.

Excellent video! Just got my Timegrapher, and this was very helpful. Thanks!

really nice video. very informative at least for me that I am starting to restore watches for me and servicing my watches too. thanks for sharing!

You did a great job explaining using down to earth examples. Thumbs up!

Excellent and concise explanation. Thank you!

This is an outstanding video which clearly outlines the proper use of a timegrapher. Especially the information regarding lift angle: I see lots of videos with watches on the timegrapher while using the wrong lift angle.... Very well done, keep up the good work. Martin

Extremely helpful. The best that I have found. Thank you.

Ahh, mate, what a great, concise clip, really well explained, sort of half knew but now you've taught me what's going on with, and why, the numbers, Many Thanks.

Excellently explained, thank you!

Dear sir, tanks for sharing this excellent video.

Merci pour toutes les explications

Bloody great video mate. Cheers.

Thank you for that very clear explanation of this device....always wondered what the heck these numbers meant!

Just thought it was funny I search "Timegrapher", and one of the first videos I find has a 5-string Spector in the background! Awesome basses. I've had a couple of NS5CRFMs over the years. Always loved the Spector sound and build quality, but they just don't fit me -- especially the second one I had which was a 35". 5-string duties are currently filled by a G&L L-2500 and StingRay 5 Classic. I feel like I really only need one fiver, and the 'Ray has the better B string... but I just can't bring myself to sell the G&L -- it's INSANELY flexible! Great video btw! Have fun!

Excellent and informative video. Thank you 🙏🏻

This was great info - the kind of thing I pretended to know watching other videos, but never really understood until now. So, thank you! Also, you should slap your branding on one of those coasters and start selling merch 😏

excellent tutorial!

Great simplified explanation 👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you for the explanation. Learn a lot!

Excellent explanation! Thank you.

Great video explanation!!! 👍

Very detailed explanation, I have a much better understanding of these readings thanks to you! 👏

Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful.

Great video that has answered a number of questions.

Thank you so much, so informative!

Excellent tutorial!

Thank you...thank you...thank you!!! Terrific video, and most useful. I really appreciate you taking the time to cover this information. The only downside is that now I really want to but a timegrapher 🙂

This is great - clear and simple - thank you

It was very useful thank you for making this video.

Great content, very educational, thanks man 👍🏻

Just found your channel and subscribed. Great videos, I'll be watching more. Thanks for doing this.

Great video. I hope, if you make another video about your timegrapher, that you correct your explanation about amplitude.

Thank you for this great video, very helpfull.

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Very clear and concise, thanks very much

I've been reviewing many a video on this subject and what I didn't understand from one, I picked up from another. But this one all the info you need in a simple explanation all in the one place. I wish I had teachers like this guy when I was at school (when dinosaur's roamed the earth).

Thank you for sharing this info....Best explanation ever

thanks for the nice explanation!

Excellent video explanation. Thank you.

Good info well explained. Thanks!

Brilliant video, very much appreciated.

Super tutorial. Thanks!

Thanks!!! You made that simple 👏

Good video understanding the timegrapher good job.

Exactly what I was looking for thanks

Brilliant explanation. Thanks!

Great video, thank you.

Great explanation. Got it. Thanks!

Thank you for this useful guide!

Perfect explanation, thanks

Very helpful, thx for sharing.

Excellent video! Thank you.

Thank you for a very informative video.

Great video Jonah. I think you should do one with demagnetizer as well and also about how to regulate a watch.

The amplitude should be a minimum of 270 degrees at full wind and deliver consistent power. After running for 24 hours, a manual wind watch's amplitude should be at least 210 degrees or 190 degrees if it’s an automatic. So an amplitude of 226 degrees is could be absolutely fine. When these conditions are met, only then should you move on to regulation. Simply throwing a watch onto a timegrapher and deducing anything when the watch is not cleaned, oiled, and demagnetised as well the powertrain, escapement, and balance wheel are all in good working order. Also, nd not knowing if it's fully wound or has been running for X amount of time since a full wind will in almost all cases going to send you down the wrong path to figure out why the readings you are getting are the reading they are. Your video is great, the explanations are fabulous, I assume you know a bit more about adjusting and regulating than covered in this video. All I'm saying is that for watch enthusaists who slap their watch on a timegrapher, beware that the readings that you see and the adjustments and regulation needed to end up with a more accurate time are usually not a simple change to the escapement or because your watch is dirty. If you don't go through the proper steps before placing your watch on that machine, you don't have the full picture and your assumptions are most likely flawed. Also, if your beat error is below 1.0 ms there is ZERO change to that beat error that will affect the rate of the watch.

Great video!

thanks for making it very clear… very informative and usefull. thanks dude… that made me subscribed.
