When measuring a mechanical watch this machine is used to provide the info about the condition of the movement.
This is done in 6 positions from case-up to 6-up,9-up,12-up,3-up and front-up for 30 seconds in each position measuring the average daily rate, amplitude in degrees which shows in fact how far the balance turns from one side to another giving you information of the condition(strenght) of the balancespring.In this case a readout of 322 degrees is very high(strong).
The third parameter is the beat-error which infact gives the error in milliseconds of the escapement ("ticking") ,when in balance it reads zero, out of balance it's "galopping"( don't know how to say it otherwise) and has an influence on the overall accuracy of your watch. A readout between 0 and 0.5 ms is acceptable.
At the end of the test the max.difference is shown, very steady rate and good amplitude.

END OF TEST
