345 Stop watch with scales for speed measurement.

I think the watchmaker's term is "tachymetre". An old Omega catalog I
have says that it is a shortened version of (get this)
"tacho-productometer" ! I personally believe this to be a
reverse-acronymics example, the original term makes perfect sense in
French.
