I brought a timegrapher to a boutique and timed one once, it seemed to perform pretty well. But then there's this review, which performed much worse. I don't have any additional data. I'd be hard pressed to say it's so bad for the price.

> On a timegrapher
A timegrapher is a machine that listens to the ticking noise of a watch and measures its rate (among other things). Timegraphers are extremely convenient since they can measure the rate of a watch in just a few seconds. Unlike the first method, measuring using a timegrapher measures an instantaneous rate, not a rate over a period. This means they can be used to separately assess the watch's rate and full wind as well as its rate after 24 hours, which can be a useful thing to know. However, in order to assess how a watch would perform over a period, a timegrapher measurement would have to be taken over a longer period anyways. Timegraphers are extremely useful for making measurements of a watch quickly and a useful diagnostic tool in general.

Works for me, if you're really interested; I'll be around. I could also just throw it on a timegrapher for you to start, but if you still wanted me to, would keep it until I did my next round of full ISO3159 testing and include it. Email me if you're interested.

My best-performing traditional mechanical watch in this test >>13508915 is hard to say. The Aevig Huldra (a miyota 9xxx) performed very well aside from its average rate (which is just a question of regulation, not how well the watch is adjusted, so not a major concern to me). The Seiko 45KS also did very well, as did the two modern swiss watches (the baume & mercier classima and the bruno sohnle rondomat, though the b&m had the clear lead). I was also very impressed with the performance of the cosmotrons, which are electric watches that use a hairspring and balance. The cosmic also perfomed very well for a traditional mechanical watch from the 60s - 1960s Omega was no joke.
