time keeper

Minutes and seconds monitor

A timekeeper is someone who tracks time during an event or activity—recording how long something takes or ensuring procedures stay on schedule.

In sports, the timekeeper monitors game duration and stoppages.

In workplaces, a timekeeper may track employees' hours.

The term also applies to clocks and watches themselves: This old watch is a reliable timekeeper.
