About the Product

A smart, compact microphone! Designed for the measurement of mechanical watches and movements, the acoustic microphone is user-friendly thanks to its ergonomic and compact design.

Operation is easy and efficient via its four built-in pushbuttons. The ChronoMaster automatically detects six main test positions, four intermediate vertical positions, and two special positions. Positions are divided into 45° increments.

All ChronoMaster units are fully integrated into the Wicotrace central test parameter and result management system. With three manual versions and two automatic versions (not shown), there’s a ChronoMaster to meet every need. 

All Witschi devices include a QR code that provides access to device registration, Witschi Apps, and the free version of Wicotrace 360°. Before installing Witschi Apps or Wicotrace 360°, please register your device and check for the latest firmware updates. For additional details, refer to the Witschi Apps and Wicotrace 360° Datasheets linked below.

Q&A

Every Witschi Terminal and microphone is available in both a Standard Version and a Pro Version.

The Standard Version provides the core timing functions:

  • Terminal: Diagram and Vario display modes, with support for up to two microphones simultaneously.
  • Microphone: Standard Watch Expert measurements, including Rate, Beat Error, Amplitude, and the trace line.

The Pro Version adds:

  • Sequence, Scope, and Trace display modes.
  • Support for up to four microphones simultaneously when using a Pro Terminal.

You only need one Pro device to access these advanced display modes. In most cases, a Pro Terminal is the most economical choice because it enables the additional features for every Standard microphone connected to it.

A Pro microphone is typically recommended only when the microphone will be connected directly to a computer without a Terminal, since there is no Terminal available to enable the Pro display modes.

Please contact us at 1-800-776-6858 to purchase an upgrade token, which allows you to convert your unit to a PRO.

No, you can only operate a ChronoMaster and ChronoMaster PRO on a Witschi Terminal, Windows-based tablet, or PC. If you'd like to use an Apple iPad, we recommend the ChronoMaster Air.
