About this app

TICKOPRINT® is a powerful watch analyzing and timing application for all MECHANICAL wrist watch movements. It features an easy-to-use graphical interface which shows the classic “running paper strip” diagram like being performed by professional watch timing machines. TICKOPRINT offers an automatic heart beat detection and checks accuracy, beat error and amplitude* of the movement.


TICKOPRINT® is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Romanian, Finnish, Japanese and Turkish.


TICKOPRINT® comes with an in-built benchmark test to check if your smart phone or tablet CPU is sufficient to run TICKOPRINT®. Sophisticated noise reduction, signal detection and signal computing functions are insuring that TICKOPRINT® can be used with the standard head set supplied with your ANDROID device.

For professional results we recommend the optional set of TICKOAMP, the sophisticated signal preprocessor and TICKOMIC Pro, a high-sensitive clamp microphone, which is designed to perform all kinds of multi-position testing easily and comfortable. This set is available on request.

TICKOPRINT® FREE displays the accuracy deviation in seconds/24h and shows the beat error by the gap in the diagram line. A “Tick” simulation with user-selectable values shows the working model of TICKOPRINT. All tests can be stored on the mobile device and can be replayed for checking the test results. The "running paper strip" direction is selectable (horizontally or vertically).


TICKOPRINT® PREMIUM offers the numerical display of accuracy plus the beat error in milliseconds and the balance amplitude. It features an additional, highly sophisticated “Trace” diagram which shows the movement ticks in detail and in high resolution. The X- and Y-axis resolution of the TICKOPRINT® “running paper strip” diagram is user-selectable, too.

It has an in-built watch database which can hold all important data of a particular watch and is capable of saving remarks regarding the test results. The integration time count for computing the average accuracy deviation is user-selectable within given values.


The additional graphical waveform display of the tick noise grants the ability for deeper analysis of the entire escapement system of hard to discover damages like defects of pallet stones etc.


It offers extended features for the in-built watch database: the ability to store images of a particular watch and all tests which have been performed for a watch; and to submit a complete watch dossier with test result diagrams and watch images via e-mail. This bunch of highly sophisticated additional features will make TICKOPRINT® Premium being the first-choice tool for watch professionals.

Important notice - connector for external mic


We recently have discovered that certain tablets which offer WiFi functionality only (without GSM services) do not have a wired external microphone connector. The commonly used and built-in 3.5 mm RCA connector offers ear phone connectivity only, but it is not possible to use an external microphone on these particular devices as the built-in mic contacts are internally unwired. These particular tablets are not suitable for TICKOPRINT as it mandatory.needs an external mic for operation.

It really works! The free version will let you measure the beat frequency of your mechanical watch and see how many seconds per day it runs fast or slow. You don't need an external microphone, just a dead quiet room. Premium features like recording the data, measuring the amplitude, etc. cost money, but the free version is perfect for my needs. Even the full version costs less than buying a hardware timegrapher! Interface is a bit non-intuitive though.

Fantastic app, exceptional quality and reporting. Instructions are sketchy. This app duplicates expensive machines, but to get it to work completely in a professional manner with a good running trace and waveform, you need to pay $30. Will work with phone internal mic regardless of what others say, but easier and more reliable with a guitar pickup or other mic options. Absolutely a great tool, and portable!

Perfect! Top tip: The app wont work properly if there is other noise present. It's gotta be super quiet for it to work. If not, then it'll look like the app is broken. If you can get the right conditions then it starts recording. I find it gives a very accurate reading after settling for about 190 seconds. Hope this helps because the first time it worked perfectly. But the 2nd time I was in work where it was a little noiser it looked like the app was broken (as per the other comments). Piece!
