Common Mistakes New Watchmakers make Using a Timegrapher

In Watch Repair, a timegrapher is a requirement, if you are seriously wanting to fix or service broken watches.
In this video, I continue the basic watch repair series, by giving you a head start of the fundamentals of using the timegrapher.

MY MICROSCOPE SET-UP

I am a super noobie into watchmaking. I thought to pick it up as a hobby and am slowly acquiring the tools needed. Still have a ways to go but I recently stumbled across your channel and immediately gravitated towards your teaching style. Slow, methodical, technical, with diagrams and microscope closeups. If only 5% of the world knew what went into watchmaking perfection. People with money simply buy what's expensive and have zero appreciation for the little engineering marvels that they are. Cheers!

[jjudelson]

Even as an amateur watchmaker and now half decent having worked on quite a number of vintage watches and pocket watches I have never failed to learn something really worthwhile or what I think is valuable information on every single one of your videos. Your short lessons are always relevant and of the highest standard - you are a gifted teacher.

[machinistmikethetinkerer]

Best one yet on timegraphers. And I've watched alot of em over the years. Life member of the ADD/Dyslexia club, I understood this one easily. Thanks.

[pitchelcabigan]

I really love this channel. We can get tones of information the factory way for free. This is the same way how the high-end watch manufacturer discusses things during training. Soooo Swiss...

[SuperLemonAdam]

As per usual, this was an excellent video. The explanation of amplitude, beat error, etc. was all incredibly interesting! Thanks for the deep dive!

[MrMom]

Man... you just explain things so well... thank you for all these videos

[ΓιώργοςΚουτσαντώνης-χο]

Thank you dear, very informative video. It is delightful to see a person who actually knows and shares freely knowledge. Please keep up the good work!

[sendtosurge]

Thank you for a clear and careful presentation without trying to sell me on something. I truly appreciate it.

[Supercruze]

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Love the lift angle tip.

[TerryClarkAccordioncrazy]

Your explanation cleared up the mystery of how a timegrapher measures amplitude. Thank you.

[So.Stephen]

Another nugget of gold. I am now going to stop obsessing with beat error. Thank you sir!

[TristanColgate]

Just wanted to say that your videos, and your general approach to teaching, are absolute spectacular. The volume of information is astounding, but also, your ability to organise that information into a logical ordering is just fantastic.
I always feel the urge to reach for a notebook in a way that I did infront of a good university lecturer.
It's a real skill to fuse practical and academic info, and entertain, and you do all 3 very well jndeed🎉

As a 61yr lifelong watch lover. you have a new subscriber. I am finally going to learn how to repair and tune my large selection of watches I haven't used for years. Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge that will help me with going into the other side of my mechanical watch love.

[cavernshark]

Thanks! This is an amazingly clear and comprehensible explanation of principles I’ve been wondering about for a while.

[garyjohn]

We’ll done, we’ll explained, clear and patient. I like it. Good job, thank you.

[frankfrank]

Wow now I know what separates a good regulation from a great one. You’re truly a pro. 👍

[ElChe]

Well, I learned something today! I didn't know about the manufacturer's beat error tolerances, and I didn't know that anything under 1ms didn't affect the time keeping. Interesting stuff! Great informative video as always

[LAB]

Absolutely a video i will return to once i get a timegrapher.

[MasterofPrayer]

I love your teaching style it’s so clear and makes perfect sense, thank you

[mlsproject]

These are some of the best watchmaking videos on YouTube. And I've watched a LOT of them. The information is so well-delivered and clear that I am learning 100X more than I've learned watching other channels. Thank you!
