In this 10 minute video, I break down how to read and use the Weishi No. 1000 timegrapher without overcomplicating it. We cover the four things that actually matter at the bench: rate, amplitude, beat error, and lift angle.
This is practical guidance for mechanical and vintage watches. You will learn what the numbers mean, how to spot problems from the trace, and why incorrect lift angle settings can make amplitude readings useless.
No theory overload. No fluff. Just what you need to understand what your timegrapher is telling you.
