Timegrapher Tutorial: Explaining Amplitude, Beat Error, And Lift Angle (Weishi No. 1000)

In this video I break down how to read and use each part of your timegrapher, including amplitude, beat error, and how to set the lift angle for your watch.
This should cover all timegraphers, not just the Weishi No.. 1000

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

[@savage22bolt32]

I don't know how to work on a watch, but I bought electric clippers & taught myself how to cut my own hair 😂.
Seriously, this is a great vid!❤

[@warshauer]

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

[@gregr1154]

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

[@the1010watchclub]

thank you!

[@gregr1154]

@@the1010watchclub i had the timegrapher in my AliExpress cart for weeks on end, but only ended up buying it (the 1900 version) after watching your vid so that i could actually make sense of the information it'll give me.

[@awensman25]

Best explanation on RUclips

[@the1010watchclub]

Much appreciated

[@Jake-bt3fc]

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°

[@ManchesterStrong]

Regulating the beat error can bring the amp right up , also if it’s not wound that can show very low figures ,

[@andrewhannam.]

This was extremely useful!

[@deeno1114]

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

[@the1010watchclub]

Thank you!

[@mike73ng]

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.

[@GhostHostMemories]

ive always wondered what the graph was for. never made sense until now.

[@tomhill4003]

​@@the1010watchclub Thanks for the wonderful video, and a huge thanks for not ruining it with crappy background music.

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 !

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

[@the1010watchclub]

[@Donnybrook10]

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.

[@thetimebombardier]

[@gunnsteinnjonsson9166]

Great video, thanks 😊

[@sportclay1]

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.
