Calculations

Daily mean deviation=m
Mean deviation by position=p
Error compensation=c
Rate resumption=r


Old formula before 1909:
(0.75-m) * 400 / 3 + (2.5-p) * 40 + (0.20-c) * 350 + (5.0-r) * 6
Maximum 300 points

New formula after 1909:
(0.50-m) * 600 + (2.0-p) * 150 + (0.150-c) * 2000 + (2.5-r) * 40
Maximum 1000 points

Watches which successfully passed the tests were issued a Bulletin de Marche, certifying the results obtained. Watches which scored more than 2/3 of the available points were published by the Société des Arts until 1927, then by the Publications de l'Observatoire de Genève until 1968.
