Our watch timegrapher 1000 is equipped with all the essential functions needed to analyze a watch’s accuracy and is enough for beginners. It measures the critical parameters such as beat rate, beat error and amplitude, displaying results both graphically and numerically. The timegrapher 1000 is a great option for novice watchmaker’s just getting to grips with timegraphers and watch accuracy.
What is the difference between ticfrog timegrapher 1000 and 1900?
- Screen Size: The 1900 model has the larger screen.
- Resolution: The resolution is drastically different between the 1000 and 1900.
- Screen Color: The 1000 model has a monochrome screen whereas the 1900 model has a color screen.
- On ticfrog 1900 the two traces appear in yellow and light blue to discriminate entrance and exit pings for easier beat error adjustment. For fault resolution it is essential to be able to identify which trace is the entrance and which is the exit which is impossible with ticfrog 1000 timegrapher.

Warm notice about watch timegrapher 1000
- Only for ordinary mechanical watch,quartz movement watches are not supported. For high-end watches (e.g. Omega Co-Axial 2500/8500), it is necessary to input movement information manually, so it is recommended to choose advanced models for testing. Besides, please make sure the watch swing angle is 220°~320°.
- The design of the pickup is very delicate, it is extremely sensitive to sound and electromagnetic radiation. Keep away from external interference during test, such as, mobile phones and chargers, TVs, stereos, computers and other sources of high radiation or noise.
- It takes time to respond if multiple watches are exchanged and tested, we suggest to shut down and restart in this case.
- If you accidentally pressed the red pause/start button, please press the red button again when you use it, or it will not work.
Frequently asked questions
Q1: Why the screen is dark or no display?
--Make sure the power indicator light is on. If not, check the power adapter and cable connections.
Q2: Why the equipment cannot work normally?
--Make sure the instrument is correctly placed, avoiding direct sunlight and extreme temperature environments, also could try to restart the device.
Q3: Why are there scattered or irregular curves?
--Make sure your watch is placed stably on the test position. Adjust the beat frequency setting to ensure it matches the watch under test. Adjust the sensor input gain to minimize noise interference.
Q4: Why do measurement data anomalies such as rate, amplitude, and beat error occur?
--Check if your watch is in normal motion, dry lubricant or damaged internal parts may cause abnormalities. Recalibrate the parameter settings according to the specific model, such as the angle of lift (default 52°), measurement period (2 seconds to 60 seconds), etc.
How to Use a Timegrapher?
It is essential to consult the user manual and page information before use.
Step 1: Setup the timegrapher as per the user manual. Then begin by placing the watch on the timegrapher’s platform. Secure the watch in a position similar to how it would be worn, usually dial-up or crown-up is best for achieving the most accurate results. Ensure that the microphone or sensor on the timegrapher is correctly positioned to capture the escapement’s vibrations.
Step 2: Connect the watch to the timegrapher following the user manual. Power on the timegrapher and choose the appropriate settings including the beat rate and lift angle of the watch.
Each watch has a unique beat rate but it is usually 18,000, 21,600 or 28,800 vibrations per hour. Some timegraphers allow you you to set this to Auto. Make sure to input the correct lift angle using our watch movement lift angles list.
Step 3: Start the measurement process. The timegrapher will begin capturing the ticking sounds or vibrations of the escapement. Allow the measurement to run for a few seconds to gather sufficient data. Time will vary by timegrapher.
Step 4: The timegrapher’s display will show graphs and/or numerical values indicating the watch’s performance. Take note of the beat rate, beat error and amplitude values. A consistent beat error and amplitude within a specific range are indicative of accurate timekeeping.
Step 5: Some timegraphers also offer the option to test the watch’s performance in different positions. Rotate the watch accordingly to observe any variations in accuracy. This can help ensure that the data displayed is consistent and accurate.
Step 6: Once the timegrapher has collected the data, it is time to analyze the results. If the beat rate is off, the watch may be gaining or losing time. Adjustments might be needed to the hairspring, balance wheel or the watch may need to be demagnetized. If the beat error is high, it could signify escapement irregularities.
Step 7: Make the necessary adjustments.
Step 8: After making adjustments, repeat the measurement process to observe the impact on the watch’s accuracy. Complete further adjustments as needed to achieve optimal performance.
