Very interesting and pedagogical post dear Mike. Thank you
When we have had the pleasure to meet Vianney Halter in his workshop in Switzerland, I noticed an old “timekeeper” and I asked him if he still used it or not.
He replied me yes because this tool was very interesting for him as he could know, with it, from where exactly a problem could come from in the mouvement (which wheel...) which was not possible with a Witschi for instance.
Of course, don’t tell me how he can do that 😁 (years and years of experience for sure but you can add a part of genius too).
Best wishes

Thanks Cazalea I've just recently been researching this very thing, how the machine uses sound to differentiate how the movement is working Super Thanks
I seem to have missed this first time around...
Fantastic to get a bit more detail on this important aspect of ensuring the watch performance remains in peak state! And as usually, you do a great job of making even people without a technical background get it Thanks a lot!
A wonderful post. Thank you. Very useful. I recently thought about getting one of these.
I was looking at the Witschi but they are very expensive. Do you know of a less costly but trustworthy brand/model? I’ve seen them as cheap as a few hundred usd but I that could just be a waste of money. Thank you
I don't have first experience with other brands, sorry
I have a Witschi quartz watch testing tool but I don't have a current electronic timer like this - I have one old school paper tape model, and one that runs on a PC laptop which is almost useless. Mike
Great post.
I recently purchased one of these Weishi timegraphers thinking it would provide some insight into the health of my watches. Unfortunately I can not determine the correct lift angles for any of my watches so.... it is somewhat disappointing.
Here is the most complete list I know...
It is on a German site, but you should be able to figure it out. www.uhrenwerkstattforum.de Don
