Short description: Machine that acoustically measures the ticks of a mechanical watch to assess its accuracy
A watch timing machine or timegrapher is a machine that acoustically measures the ticks of a mechanical watch to assess its accuracy and enable calibration. This device calculates the amplitude, beat rate, and beat error of a mechanical watch, and provides a summary of these figures after the watch is connected to the device for a fixed interval of time.[1] The information recorded by this instrument is used by horologists and watchmakers to help determine if the timepiece's movement is in need of servicing, or a complete overhaul, to restore its timekeeping accuracy.[2] It is also used to determine if a newly produced timepiece is accurate, prior to being sold or released.
These companies manufacture watch timing machines:
- Delph Electronics
- Mumford Micro Systems
- TYMC
- Vibrograf
