chronograph

Watch with stopwatch

A chronograph is a watch or instrument that measures elapsed time, typically with a stopwatch function alongside the regular timekeeping display.

The term appears most often in watch marketing, where chronograph means a watch with subdials and pushers for timing events: a Swiss chronograph with three subdials.

In scientific contexts, chronographs record precise time measurements for experiments or ballistics testing.
