Isn’t a chronograph a device for accurately measuring the speeds of projectiles (specifically, bullets). They have two “panels” parallel to each through which the projectile passes. I don’t know how they work exactly*, but from this it calculates the speed.
(*aside from the obvious fact that they find the entrance time, exit time and they know the distance between those points)

Well, yes, in some circumstances it is (and I believe they work by having an optical sensor that detects the shadow of the passing bullet; the ones I’ve seen have a white 1" strip mounted above the eye' against which to see’ it). But somehow I have trouble seeing one of those as a feature on a watch, so I assume it graphs' (displays) the chronos’ (time) between pressing a start and stop button instead
