cool. strikes me that for real testing you'd want to weight the average, right? it's more common for a watch to be face up or 6 high than it would be in any other position, so if it happens to be very stable at 3 high but horribly out at 6 high then the watch will perform poorly in real-use?
If you don’t have the brand issued technical documentation for the caliber then I would just search the web for that calibers lift angle. There are a few online databases. If that doesn’t get you an answer then I suggest trying one of the watchmaking forums. There is a way to determine the lift angle with trial and error on a timing machine. I could probably do a whole episode just on that, along with some more precision regulating tips and tricks.
@@thewatchmakersworkshop Thank you!! I'm just an enthusiast, and use one when I buy, get back from service or sell a watch. On another subject...an interesting thing would be; how/what makes a movement a chronometer (I know the spec requirements). Some brands have x-movement. One version is and one version is not a chronometer. Using slightly different parts? Great vids! Thank you for doing them and proving great insight.
Don’t ever stop making these!
Love how calm yet informative they are
Always a joy to watch your videos. I learn so much.

When doing this at home, how do 'we' know what the Lift Angle should be? Is there a source website?
