Tickscope vs Timegrapher Advanced

Hear what your watch is really doing. Tickscope turns your iPhone or iPad into a timegrapher: set the watch by the microphone and read its rate, beat error and amplitude. No extra hardware. MEASURE • Rate (s/d), beat error (ms) and amplitude (°) • Beat rate detected automatically: 18,000, 19,800, 21,600, 25,200, 28,800 and 36,000 bph • Every result in plain words, like "gains about a minute every 28 days", graded by how confident the reading is • Coaching tells you what to change when the room is noisy or the ticks are faint LOOK CLOSER • Anatomy of a tick: unlock, impulse and drop, averaged from your own watch's beat • Magnetism check with your device's compass YOUR COLLECTION • Photos, measurement history, heritage notes and a wear calendar for every watch • A chronograph clock face with Breguet hands, moon phase and split seconds TICKSCOPE PRO Buy it once, keep it. No subscription. • COSC-style five-position assessment (an at-home check, not a certificate) • Trends over weeks, position by position • Timing certificates as PDF • Power reserve test • Unlimited watches and measurements The free version includes 25 measurements and up to 3 watches. LIBRARY Articles, a 230-term glossary, 200+ calibers and 1,000+ watches to read between measurements. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sound is analysed on your device and never leaves it.

Timegrapher Advanced turns your iPhone into a portable watch timing instrument—ideal for hobbyists, collectors, and professionals who want quick, clear readings at the bench or on the go. Place a mechanical watch on a piezo or on top of an external mic, press Start, and watch a live screen measure the rate (s/d), beat error (ms), and amplitude (°). Core measurements • Rate in seconds per day • Beat error in milliseconds • Amplitude in degrees (with adjustable lift angle) • Manual BPH for common beat rates • Sensitivity control plus an auto sensitivity sweep to find a clean pickup level Chart that works like a real timegrapher • Dual-line tick/tock paperstrip with progressive slope from rate • Line separation tracks beat error (near-overlap when BE is excellent) • Portrait dashboard or full-screen landscape chart with rate, BE, amp, BPH, and lift • Customizable colors, scale (±100 to ±999), and optional scale gridlines • Optional live tick waveform pip to confirm clean escapement sound Automatic sweep • Sensitivity sweep will scan through your microphone's sensitivity range to autodetect the optimal setting used for capturing data • Sensitivity sweep uses a weighted algorithm to measure signal, noise, captured data, events, and elects the best data on a scoring mechanism Calibration you control • Factory default tuned from real multi-watch sessions • Create and edit profiles against your hardware timegrapher (gold standard) • One-tap Calibrate after 20 seconds of live data to capture app raw and bake offsets Workflow with Timegrapher Logging (separate app) • Optional deep-link integration: measure an orientation (including isochronism / 24h rows) in Advanced, then Capture and Send straight into Logging Built for real use • Metrics clear to −/− when the watch is off the mic—no frozen last reading • Quiet-room friendly piezo/mic workflow with optional tick noise filtering • Diagram noise reduction for a calmer strip • Clean, focused UI Whether you’re regulating a custom build, checking a Rolex, or logging a full position set, Timegrapher Advanced gives you a clear chart and numbers you can trust—and align to the instrument you already use.
