If the signal is periodic and the tick structure is stable, you might also be able to improve SNR further by aligning the detected peaks and averaging them rather than just stacking raw samples. That sometimes helps suppress random noise even more when the waveform shape is consistent.

Not sure how stable the waveform is across ticks in a mechanical watch though.
