Does the chronograph function, run independently from the actual timekeeping? Meaning, can you have a watch that has poor timekeeping, but the chrono would be accurate? I remember someone making a statement in the past, that lead me to believe this was their point.

No, the chrono hand maybe indirectly driven but it is ultimately tied to the balance, so if the watch as a whole is inaccurate so will the chrono hand be. |

The only time I know of where the sweep / chrono hand won't mirror correct time is when the clutch is slipping. And in that case, it'll move faster than correct time, like you'll see 1.25 minutes displayed for a minutes actual elapsed time.

That is likely the only case where the circumstances Tim mentioned would hold; ie the watch is running slow but the chrono hand is keeping accurate time. A watch in this condition would need a major service and overhaul! |
