Two changes you asked for: • Lift angle to a tenth of a degree. The slider now moves in steps of 0.5°, and the − and + buttons beside it change the lift angle by 0.1°, so you can enter values like 51.5° or 49.3° from a lift angle table. • More photos of each watch. Add up to 12 more photos, such as the caseback, the movement, the box and papers, or the watch on your wrist. Crop each one, or make any of them the main photo. Swipe through them at the top of the watch's page, and tap one to see it full screen and zoom in.

NEW IN 2.7 Measure in positions Watchmakers check a watch in several positions, because the rate changes when the watch lies flat or stands on its side. Tap Measure in Positions on a watch's page and Timegrapher guides you through all six positions, or four for a quicker check. You get a table of the results, the average rate and the spread between positions. Timing report Share a one-page report on a watch as a PDF or an image: the latest reading, the positions, the rate over time and the other checks. The serial number is left out, so you can post the report or add it to a sale listing. You can also export measurements as a CSV file, for one watch or the whole collection. Atomic clock The new Clock tab shows the exact time from Apple's time server and how far your iPhone's clock is off. Turn on countdown tones to hear five short tones before each minute and a long one on the minute, and set your watch to the second. Reminders Timegrapher can remind you to measure a watch every week, every 2 weeks or every month. After the first photo for Rate over a Day, it reminds you to take the second one. Also new • Sort your collection by brand or model from the ••• menu. • A Calibre field for the watch's movement.

IDENTIFY YOUR WATCH FROM A PHOTO When you add a watch, add a photo and tap Identify from Photo. Timegrapher suggests the brand and model, and sometimes the reference. Nothing is filled in until you tap Use. Check a suggested reference against the papers or the caseback before you rely on it. The photo is sent to Apple's Private Cloud Compute only when you tap the button. Apple doesn't keep it, and the developer never sees it. Needs iOS 27. Where Apple's cloud model isn't available, the button doesn't appear.

STEADIER, FASTER MEASUREMENTS The measuring engine is new. It finds the watch's beat from its regularity and times each tick against that watch's averaged tick. A weak or noisy signal now gives a steady reading. • The first reading appears within a few seconds. • The trace stays steady while you measure. • Amplitude is read from the averaged tick, where the faint first sound of each tick is visible. If the room is too noisy to measure it, the app shows a dash until it can. • The app listens in the frequency bands where the ticks are clear and leaves out the bands that carry only room noise. • Measurements finish at 30 seconds more often, because the app now hears more of the ticks. For the strongest signal, rest the bottom of the iPhone on the watch glass. RATE OVER A DAY OF WEAR Photograph the dial, wear the watch as usual, and photograph it again the next day. Timegrapher reads the time of each photo from the photo itself. You mark the seconds hand on both. The app then shows how much the watch gained or lost on your wrist during that day. A day between photos gives a reading precise to a fraction of a second. Shorter gaps also work, and each result shows its precision. Your first photo stays saved, so you can close the app and come back later. GERMAN, FRENCH AND JAPANESE The Guide, the health verdicts, the Pro screen, purchase messages and the microphone and camera prompts are now translated. In version 2.4 they were still in English. Numbers now use your region's decimal separator throughout the app. FIXED • On the trend chart, choosing Amplitude could hide the other tabs when a reading had no amplitude. All three tabs now stay visible.

NOW IN GERMAN, FRENCH AND JAPANESE Timegrapher is fully translated — not just the buttons, but the terminology, which matters more here than in most apps. Rate is Gangabweichung, marche, 日差. Beat error is Abfallfehler, erreur de repère, 片振り. Those are the words a watchmaker actually uses; they were taken from Witschi's own testing documentation, the French horological glossaries and Seiko's timing-machine manual, not from a dictionary. Prices, dates and decimal separators now follow your region throughout, and Japanese is set in a proper Mincho serif rather than dropping to a system face. IS IT MAGNETIZED? A magnetized hairspring is the most common reason a mechanical watch suddenly starts gaining time — and until now the app could tell you the watch was running fast without telling you why. Timegrapher can now screen for it using the iPhone's magnetometer. It reads the background magnetic field, then reads it again with the watch held against the back of the phone, and reports what the watch is carrying. A clear result means look elsewhere; a strong one means demagnetize before you judge anything else. Every check is kept, so a before-and-after pair shows whether the demagnetizer actually did its job. It's a screening tool rather than a calibrated gaussmeter, and it says so. AIRPODS Bluetooth microphones compress audio down to voice quality, which strips out the tick sounds Timegrapher listens for. The app now names the microphone in use whenever it isn't the iPhone's own, so you are never guessing. A wired earbud pressed against the case is unaffected — that one is a genuinely good technique. YOUR COLLECTION • Drag to reorder your watches • Tap the collection total to see its value over time, and tap the chart to read the value on any date FIXED • Market prices now fetch in your own currency, and typed amounts are read the way your region writes them. Previously an amount entered as "9.150" could be stored as 9.15 — a hundredth of its value. If you have logged prices that look wrong, they can be corrected by editing the entry. • Charts showed the same year repeated across the axis when several measurements fell in one year; they now step down to months, days or times as the span requires. • Buying and restoring Timegrapher Pro is more robust, and now explains itself if the App Store can't be reached instead of appearing to do nothing. • New setup illustrations for the measurement and magnetism screens. • Assorted layout fixes where longer watch names or messages could be clipped.
