Escapements

New Bench tab ranks watches by timing condition, rest position, service age, magnetism flags, and regulation readiness.

Escapements is a pro mechanical watch timing bench for collectors who want decisions from their logs, not just a list of readings.

BENCH ACTION QUEUE Version 1.5 adds a collection-wide Bench tab that ranks every watch by timing condition. It blends recent weighted rate, position spread, service age, magnetism flags, and data confidence into a clear next action: gather more data, rest and observe, regulate, demagnetize first, or service first.

OVERNIGHT REST PLANNER Escapements now recommends the best overnight resting position from your own position readings. A fast watch gets matched with the slowest useful rest position; a slow watch gets matched with the fastest useful position. The app estimates the 24-hour result from a realistic worn/rested blend.

PER-WATCH BENCH INTELLIGENCE Open any watch detail to see its bench score, weighted seconds-per-day rate, positional spread, data confidence, service window, magnetism warnings, and regulation readiness. Wide positional spread or overdue service intentionally blocks regulation recommendations.

MICROPHONE TIMEGRAPHER The optional timegrapher captures tick sound through the phone microphone, detects beat onsets against an adaptive noise floor, and reports observed beat rate in bph with an FFT-backed confidence score. No audio is stored.

FIVE-POSITION TIMING Log dial-up, dial-down, crown-up, crown-down, crown-left, crown-right, and on-wrist readings. Escapements summarizes mean rate, spread, outliers, and standards context so you can separate normal positional variance from a real service issue.

SERVICE, MAGNETISM, WIND, AND STRAP LOGS Track full service, movement work, pressure tests, battery changes, demagnetization, suspected magnetic exposure, wind events, power reserve, and strap wear. Everything ties back to the watch's timing history.

OFFLINE BENCH PLATES The Reference tab now includes 16 original high-resolution visual bench plates covering position timing, overnight rest, regulation triage, magnetism, service windows, beat rates, lift angles, power reserve, timegrapher signal flow, COSC/METAS context, amplitude, beat error, and export preparation.

EXPORTS Export PDF watch reports and CSV timing logs for a watch or the full collection. Share through Mail, Files, AirDrop, or any system share destination.

PRIVACY Escapements is offline-first. Your watches, photos, readings, service notes, and exports stay on your device. No account, analytics, ads, or tracking. Microphone permission is used only for the optional live timegrapher and no audio is saved.
