Tickoprint 2.4

TICKOPRINT® is a comprehensive application designed for the analysis and timing of mechanical wristwatch movements. Its user-friendly graphical interface emulates a traditional “running paper strip” diagram, reminiscent of professional watch timing machines. TICKOPRINT enables automatic heartbeat detection and evaluates critical metrics such as accuracy, beat error, and amplitude of the movement.

Available in multiple languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Romanian, Finnish, Japanese, and Turkish, TICKOPRINT® offers accessibility to a wide audience.

Before installation, TICKOPRINT® includes a built-in benchmark test to determine if your smartphone or tablet's CPU is capable of supporting its functions. The application incorporates advanced noise reduction and signal detection features to ensure optimal performance even with standard headsets commonly provided with mobile devices.

The TICKOPRINT® FREE version provides a clear display of accuracy deviation measured in seconds/24 hours while illustrating beat error through visual gaps in the diagram line. A “Tick” simulation allows users to visualize the operational model of the application. All test results are storable on the device for later review, with options to select the orientation of the “running paper strip” display.

For those seeking more detailed analysis, TICKOPRINT® PREMIUM offers numerical displays of accuracy and beat error in milliseconds alongside balance amplitude measurements. Additionally, it features a highly sophisticated “Trace” diagram capable of presenting movement ticks in enhanced detail and resolution. Users can adjust both the X- and Y-axis resolution on the TICKOPRINT® diagram to suit their preferences.

The application includes an extensive watch database to store vital information about each watch tested, including provision for storing remarks related to test outcomes. Users can customize integration time for calculating average accuracy deviations within specified limits.

Furthermore, TICKOPRINT® PREMIUM’s graphical waveform display of tick noise enables a thorough investigation of escapement systems for potential damages, such as defects in pallet stones.

Enhanced features within the watch database include options to save images of specific watches and all prior tests conducted on them. The ability to compile a complete dossier—including test result diagrams and watch images—for submission via email further elevates TICKOPRINT® as a preferred tool for watch professionals.

It is important to note that TICKOPRINT® is specifically designed for mechanical watch movements; compatibility with quartz movements is not available. Users should also be aware that certain tablets restricted to Wi-Fi functionality may lack a necessary wired external microphone connector required for the application’s full operation.
