Vibrations per hour

Vibrations per hour (vph, VPH) is a mechanical timepiece specification. It is used to express the frequency of a watch movement.^[1]^[2] VPH describes the number of times that a vibrating timekeeping component completes a vibration cycle in 1 hour.^[3] More vibrations per hour yields higher timekeeping resolution, and usually indicates a higher precision mechanical movement.^[4]
