··Melbourne AustraliaAnother entry.
Haven't adjusted for correct lift angle so it may look a bit low.
But what the heck, it's a Seiko, who needs high amplitude?

··ΩF InvestiGatorI have several 36K BpH watches.
Zodiac Astrographic “Wanderer”
Girard Perregaux Gyromatic Chronometer HF
Longines Ultra Chron Chronometer
Seiko Hi-Beat Special (date only)
There is something about a watch that ticks twice as fast as normal.

·Potentially naive question but are high-beat movements more susceptible to shock damage than lower beat movements, all else being equal? Intuitively it seems to me like they would be, but I have no real concrete reason to believe so. I'm a big fan of the Longines Ultrachron rerelease but unsure to what extent the movement would need to be treated like a delicate little hummingbird.

·My WWII Elgin “jitterbug” timer. No idea of bph, but it’s well north of 36,000 bph. The sweep hand traverses the dial in 10 seconds, the subsidiary hand records each ten second interval up to five minutes. I believe it was used as an aid to air crews. Notice the tiny balance wheel peeking out from under the balance cock in the third picture. I use this timer when I re-spring 400-day clocks. I can usually regulate the clock to within 2 or 3 minutes per day during one adjustment.

·I have a pair of Hi-Beats, a 2012 Zenith El Primero and a 1969 Grand Seiko 6145. Both lovely smooth watches, both keeping excellent time to within COSC.
