Watch Timer Question

[redwatch]

I am going to start taking the Time Zone Watch School course. I am wondering if you can test the timing of a watch movement when it is uncased? I have been looking at Watch Timers (a future purchase - way down the road). The Microset Watch Timer Pro looks quite intriguing! (Thanks to avitt for the recommendation!)

@Red,

I am playing around with a movement holder that looks like this.

I am trying to get them made in China, but the quantity thing isn't flying.

These were a Swiss design, made in the USA a few years back, so they pop up on the'bay from time to time.

Apart from being a very clever design, they also fit straight into the jaws of Vibrograf.

So you can use them for uncased movement timing.

I guess as long as you can attach the movement, in a holder to the mic, you can make anything work with any machine.

I did have a chat also with jmb about these, it may be worth talking with him, as he has some dimensions, and started on a prototype.

Of cause you can, all rolex movements are tested by COSC uncased with out the auto wind ect, I do it all the time there is no point recasing if the movement has a problem that requires disassembly

That's what I was thinking to. If you are working on a movement, it would suck to have to re-case it everytime you wanted to test it. Thanks for the heads up guys!
